A pearoast from last year:
Some are genuine, some are just shits. I had to go to A&E once because my knee was so fucked up. There was me and ONE other person on a fairly large bus, and I was sat somewhere in the middle, with one leg on the seat (I couldn't bend it) and my other foot on the floor. This stupid bint went and tapped my foot (the way people would if that was the last or easiest available seat on a packed bus) and asked me to move my leg in a bitchy manner. I smiled and apologised, telling her I couldn't really bend my leg because of PAIN, and she complained to the bus driver. He was obviously on my side, given that I'd asked for 'hospital' and dragged myself onto the bus.


Another time and another old lady. I have a BAHA, which is a hearing aid that's implanted into bone on the skull to make vibrations. Nobody else can hear any sound from it, only the whistle they sometimes make. I also have a headphone which plugs into that. My ipod was plugged into this on a journey home. Some woman sat next to me, not saying a word to me for a good 5 minutes. The minute I got my ipod out to change the track, she tapped me on the shoulder and said in a really nasty manner 'turn the music down please, I can hear the words!'. I got smiles and nods after I ranted to her that I knew for a FACT she could not hear a bloody thing, and told her why she couldn't. I'd understand if it was whistling she could hear, but I can hear that too and I certainly wouldn't be playing music on top of it!

I don't mind old people, but some are fucking deliberately obnoxious.




AND

On the Edinburgh night bus a few years back, somebody fell down the stairs, obviously smacked out of his brain, got his arm caught in the handrail, had a compound fracture in the middle of the radius, and then asked us all if anybody knew how to fix watches. I don't fuck with the Scottish.

Apologies for morbid curiosity
How exactly do you plug your ipod into your skull?
