Get up in the mornin' like the rest of us.. *THE GUESS WHO*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sure some of us ride public transit to work, school, etc. Well, don't you find it annoying when someone sits down next to you and starts talking to you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I mean, you're on the bus to get to somewhere, you're tired, you just want to sit there and wait for it to get to your stop, and some guy starts talking to you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This topic is to share some of your stories about strange encounters on the bus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I got the idea to make this topic yesterday when some guy on the bus said that I reminded him of Garth (Wayne's World) and was complaining about a bank).

It really has

I pretend I'm sleeping. Nobody tries to talk to a person who is sleeping.

This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

 

 

annoying person: Hey how are you?

 

 

 

Logic: mmmmrphf.... Zzzzzz....

I was once on a bus, near the front, telling a joke to my friend sitting next to me. When I reached the punchline some guy right at the back of the bus burst out laughing.

Haha, evesdropping is very hard not to do whilst on a bus.

I don't remember any random person that have just started making conversation with me while I was on the bus. But at the busstop once, this 50+-year old woman came up and began talking metal and rock with me. It was fairly interesting.

Whats even worse is on the train when somebody takes up more room than they should :? . That and people who smell.

I like it when people talk to me on the bus :( . Like when I was a tourist in London, two middle age lady's started talking to me and my group and gave us some useful information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even better though when me and my family were down in San Diego for the weekend, and some drunk homeless guy started telling my family and a group of college age guys white trash jokes :) .

I like when random people talk to me on the bus. Well, most of the time. I was on the bus with my friends when this lady and her son (tourists) got on and sat near us. She wanted to know things about San Francisco and wanted some suggestions on where to go. She was a nice lady and told us she was an elementary school teacher from Texas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's hard not to eavesdrop since people have to talk so loud on the bus (especially when it goes through the tunnel). You can listen to some interesting conversations that way :lol:

Or people who don't shower and wear lots of perfume/cologne to cover it up.

I usually sleep in the bus.

 

 

 

My biological clock (or how the hell you call it) tells me to wake up precisely the minute where I can JUST be on time, and I like that.

 

 

 

So usually, without an alarm I wake up, I haste a bit, hurry and I'll be there just in time. so I'll have a little break from my sleep, get in the bus, sleep again, and use my biological clock again to wake up just before I have to get out.

 

 

 

It's scary, but true. <3 my clock.

Tied my friend's shoelaces to the legs of his seat before I got off the bus :lol:

My sister and I were talking about current events on our school bus, and then about the merits of a president who can't say "Nuclear" and says "Nuke-you-ler" instead, and what the merits are of the people who think that really matters. And then we talked about the anti-meth assembly we had where they told us how to make meth, how to take it, and how great it feels, then not to do it.. and what a poorly designed assembly it was.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We didn't realize anyone was listening until we were getting off the bus and the bus driver told us he thought we made some very good comments..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It makes me sad that the bus driver's highlight of the day is a couple of weird twins talking about politics and anti-drug campaigns. :(

a drunk guy won like $50 next to me on the subway

 

 

 

then he turns to me and says

 

 

 

"I knew you were good luck as soon as you sat down"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then he took the same train and started asking some really personal questions :x

 

 

 

I lied in just about everything. :o

How does a profession differ from an occupation?

People who smell on the train, or just in general?

I make it my business to eavesdrop in public. If people don't want to be heard they should either whisper or just plain not talk in public.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Especially in school, I get to know a lot more about people than they know about me. I feel like I know people whom I don't even know in some of my classes. People I say little or no words to ever, I feel like I already know them...That may sound creepy, but there's nothing better to do during an epicly boring class.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yea, and on topic. I've never been on the bus. Well, maybe once, but I couldn't remember it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't even know how much you have to pay when you get on a bus. :\.

Sitting in the back of the bus ftw :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And nothing wrong with teaching kids how to make meth... it just means more money when they get arrested =D

I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

this does not exactly fit the topic but it is still a funny story, on my bus ride home from school we always pass a woman standing outside her house. There is a bus stop farther down the street, and when the bus stops, she runs over muttering gibberish, starts rapping her cane against the window and yelling for us to give her cigarettes. :)

I used to have to take the bus to work. The ride in the morning was perfectly fine but in the afternoon...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bus used to stop at a place called Clearwater. Clearwater's a large store where they sell all sorts of varietiy's of seafood. They just smelt soo bad :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last week someone had a seizure on the bus. He ended up falling out of his seat and hitting floor, cutting himself badly. The bus driver tended to him and then they made everyone change busses because they already used the up the first aid kit. Aparently he had no clue what happened to him. My mom gets to see the interesting stuff..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I sit next to people who smell like fish :?

The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard.

;P It's good to know not all the weird things happen just on my bus. XD

It really has

I walk 20-25 minutes to school everyday so that I won't take the bus. My mom has been nagging me to take the bus and even told me she'd get a monthly student pass, but I said no. I like the exercise and I don't like getting squished early in the morning :? [/code]

i don't take public transit (because i live in the middle of nowhere) but wow. those are some very interesting stories.. especially the ones about drunkards lol

splintercellsheepzf9.jpg

this happened to me in the train.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i came back from a metalrock concert in the town next to the town where i live. and there is this girl on the station who also came from the party and all evening we looked at eachother... kinda nervour to talk, when she suddenly sits next to me in the train and we talk and stuff.... and now im desperatly trying to make contact with her :?

not everybody wants to hear the bubblegum pop garbage.

im gonna burn in hell and drink all of satans beer.

trashmetal/deathmetal/hardrock/folkmetal die hard

I take the bus and train to and from uni. I hear some rather weird stuff.

 

 

 

And in the last, three years, I have only ever had 2 people start a conversation with me. Actually, 3. One was just a really short-lived chat about the music I was playing on my discman. But the other two lasted the entire 30minute trip on the train.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I mainly listen to my discman when I'm traveling but on the odd occasion that the batteries are flat or whatnot, I just pretend to be asleep and listen in to anything of value.

Funny stories!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways, i rarly go on the bus, but on the occasion that i do, i just pretend to be dazed and always look ou the window, so that no one bugs me, and i dont notice if any of the people look at me (most people who take busses in my city are creepy)
