The Crazy Lady.
I can't believe I didn't think of this one first. I was sitting on those bile-yellow bus-stop seats, waiting for my bus after a hard day's work. After a little bit of waiting, this young woman sat next to me, and smiled at me, sweetly. She was very attractive, so I returned the gesture. She glanced at me, and opened her mouth slightly, as if to say something, but then stopped. She did this about four times, so needless to say, I was quite perplexed as to what she was doing. Eventually, she turned around, and said "Look, excuse me, but... I hate to ask this, but... do you have any change...? I need to get home, but I haven't got any money".

"Yeah, sure. I've only got 20p, mind. Sorry, it's all I've got". She smiled, and I gave it to her. I actually had about three quid, but I've never been comfortable giving strangers money. Call me mean, but you hear horror stories on the news that start the same way. I felt I did a good thing. It wasn't a massive amount of money, but I felt like it went for a good cause. Anyway, after a short time period, my bus pulled up to the stand, so I stood up, and started to walk over to it. Bad move. As soon as I stood up, the change in my pocket clinked together. "Shit", I thought.

She'd heard it. I just knew she did. Don't ask me how, but I could feel it. There was a silence as I walked up to the bus driver, and I thought I might've been wrong about her hearing me, but no. She runs up to the side of the bus, and shrieks "What, am I not good enough for your money? Huh? Fuck you! Peopl-". I was a little startled by that, but felt kinda comfortable that the bus doors started closing, and her outburst was silenced in the middle. The bus pulled away, and I sat on my seat. I started to relax, and then, horror-upon-horrors, I saw her in the window's reflection...running after the bus.

I feel so thankful to say that she stopped after a few steps, but I was still absolutely petrified. I think I was checking my back for about a week after that one.

Bit of both, really.
She had the kind of "y'gor any change, lahk?" kind of nasally voice.
