Post your public transit stories here.

Bonus points for screaming old ladies.

What does transit mean?

Did I post this one yet?

I was sitting on the back of the train near two guys who look like they're in a frat. One of them used the phrase "she's on crack."

A crazy homeless guy overheard this and chimed in about how crack isn't all that bad. He admitted to using crack and said it's better than cocaine, because "it doesn't mess up your nose."

The frat guys looked a little freaked out but said nothing. This angered the homeless guy on crack, who started a long and very loud rant about how when he was young, he talked to strangers on the train all the time. (What a role model!)

Eventually everyone else got up and moved to the front of the train, leaving homeless guy on crack alone in the back to finish his angry rant.

A few years ago when I was in Baltimore, this drugged up homeless person stepped towards me and I got all freaked out.  This other person who was high too started laughing.  My parents are suprised that that's the thing I remember the most about going there.

I was on a bus heading back from school this one time, when an old Indian lady got on the bus, but didn't pay her fare. The bus driver asked her to, but she was like "No, I only wanted to go to [insert street name here], so I shouldn't have to pay that much". The bus driver explains that there's one flat rate and you get off whenever you want.

They keep arguing for a bit when feminist-rights-single-woman-taking-on-the-world girl dressed in her suit gets up and literally screams at the Indian lady, saying "PAY YOUR FUCKING GOD-DAMN FARE, I HAVE TO GET TO A FUCKING INTERVIEW". The Indian lady is in shock at this point, and starts to mutter something, when Independence Woman yells back "JUST, JUST FUCKING PAY IT, OKAY?"

The bus driver ended up having to call security because the Indian lady wouldn't accept people's donations and partook in this vicious yelling match with Independence Woman, and wouldn't leave the bus.

I've never had to move in public places, I've always classed that as being rude.

I ALWAYS get some sort of harassment in the bus. See, I like sitting all the way in the back, all the way in the corner. There was a time when a dude got on the bus, he was drinking a 40 and started hitting on me. I was more concerned about his full disclosure 40. Then a few months after some dude in my film class told me that night, he had memorized my face in case something happened to me. Weird.

I hate little kids pulling my hair when they sit behind me. They must think red hair isn't cool.

I remember one time I was sitting in the front and some guy and his wife get ont he bus with a stroller and like a million baby luggage bags and then his weed acidentally drops out of the baby's hoodie. WTF?

I guess I could think of more.

I need to drive :(

Who the hell are you and what part of England are you from? Why do you have an account here if you hate or hated everyone? I'm glad to see you are a spurs fan though.

One thing I really hate:

Handicapped people taking the bus.
It's not so much that they take it, it's just that it takes like 10 minutes trying to get them into the lift, kick everyone else out of the disabled seats, make sure the person can get their wheelchair in place, buckle their seatbelt, and get the lift back in place. Takes forever!

I hate single mothers with children asking me if "I could move, they want that seat".

Hey, guess what? I didn't fuck up my life. I've earned this seat.

I/FUCKING/HATE/IT,

when people sit on the seat away from the window. It makes no damn sense to me! Never has. For one they don't allow for you sit by the window and if you ask they get offended (and move their legs to let you through but don't move to the seat by the window) it's like they have a window-phobia or something.

I can understand if the sun sucks but other than that, why are people such assholes and never sit by the window so others can take the other seat?

^I agree with you there - and wouldn't it make more sense to sit next to the button that calls for the bus to stop?

Again Ricard, that was awesome!

I wish I could be just one ten-thousandth a bad-ass like you.

How many kilograms of frijoles you need to eat to be able to fart on demand like you do?

I think they sit there because they are getting off soon. Like at the next stop or something. Also I hate women with prams. They annoy me and old people on the bus since we  have to move for them. I remember once there were these Italians oldies who everytime they came in demanded that I offer them my seat. I also hate heroin addicts on buses, they scare me. People on drugs that make them shake are really scary. There's this one woman I see in particular, we get off at the same stop so I make sure either I'm really far away from here or get off faster than the speed of light to outrun her.

I mean a badass cause I have a really hard time saying "fart" I can type it no problem but saying it is different.

The other day I was with my friend and she pusehd me like three times to the side and announced "I just farted!" I found it really funny.

You're guilty!

What about if the bus gets really crowded? Do you move to the window seat to allow someone to sit next to you or you take over the whole seat?!

I'm really not afraid of getting killed on a bus. I actually enjoy sitting near sketchy people, often they're pretty interesting.

Some bum was staring at me for a while on a bus once. As I got closer to my stop I stared back with really open eyes and a mentally imbalanced sort of look. He turned away after that.

I've done that once, sort of. This 8 year old girl was sitting across the aisle from me and staring at my hat (I'm not sure if I've mentioned my hat collection before, but this hat was like a Cat In The Hat hat, with black & red stripes). I turned, stared back at her, and for a good minute neither of us blinked, then she took interest in her mom's purse.

You haven't mentioned the hats. Post some pics in the user pics thread!

Everyone has seen my first serious hat. I occasionally wore a couple hats a couple times when I was younger but it was never enthusiastic. I like wearing this hat sometimes. I might find more too.

It's there now =D.

One of them, anyways. My camera has the tendency to collapse into itself if it's exposed to the air for more than 20 seconds.

Is that covered in the warranty?
