We've got a local bus driver who likes to pull away slowly just to see how far old ladies with shopping trollies will chase him down the road. By popular demand - tell us your thrilling bus anecdotes.
Thanks to glued eel for the suggestion

Way back when I lived in that there London, I went out on a Wednesday to have a few drinks with a mate. I'd had a shit day in work and she'd had a row with her bird, so a few drinks rappidly turned into an all-night bender.
I woke up on her lounge floor at about 8 the next morning and decided to drag my lazy carcass into work. Fortunately, I could get a bus from right outside her door to right outside my office.
So I get myself on the bus and sit in the back corner downstairs, wrap my coat around me a little tighter and, evidently, fell asleep. I say "evidently" because I didn't realise I had fallen alseep until I woke up with a start.
When I looked around the bus, I realised that everyone was looking at me. Everyone. They had all turned around and were staring, open-mouthed at me. A couple of people were shaking their heads in disgust. There were a couple of schoolkids at the front, giggling and pointing at me.
I looked back at everyone for a minute, checked to see if I'd pissed, puked or shit recently and, upon discovering I had done none of them, got up, rang the bell and walked to the exit doors, with everyone's eyes tracking me the whole way.
The bus remained in total silence until it stopped. As I got off, I heard a few people burst out laughing.
I stayed awake on the next one.
Still haven't got a clue what I did...

You had been snoring. I do that on the metro on the way home. Sometimes drool as well. How edifying.

Any speculation as to what you might have been ranting about in your dreams?

There was no funny smell, no wood and no drool. So I reckon I was talking in my sleep... nothing too bad, I hope...

Well, be careful, you might be shunned by the bus-folks.

Gotta be the death fart of drinking. The movement of the bus, sleeping the night (or what was left) on a friend's floor, kidlets laughing and other people looking disgusted can only be the result of a drunken alcohol-poisoned fart. You didn't smell it because you were probably still pissed.
Well done!

When I doze off I sometimes twitch. It can cause me to kick my boyfriend in bed, or jerk like I have an active baby in my belly (this is when I'm sitting on a train). It's not good!
Atleast you slept through whatever you did! When I twitch it wakes me up, only for me to have to doze off and do it again!

i'm still going with a big dirty fart that spread throughout the whole bus. it's probably what made you wake up too.

I was deep in bus coma when I heard the driver announcing that the passenger at the rear of the bus in the green shirt had now ridden two stops past his fare and was over-riding.
Took me a while to realise what over-riding was, and a little longer to look down and, yes, I was wearing a green shirt. And everyone was looking at me.
