the amusement of public transport
couple of example for you....

I was on the back of a bus when it stopped to let a young lad with a pair of rather full shopping bags on, now this was one of those buses that can lower to curb level to allow easy access, and all i saw was the doors open, and without even appearing to take a step the lad just fell forwards and being unable to use his hands (due to the shopping) faceplanted the floor with a rather impressive thud. As this was in the middle of the day my howling laughter was met with the dissaprving stares of a scattering of sympathetic old dears who couldn't see the funny side.


another time i was sitting in the luggage compartment on a busy train, right by those pesky automatic doors that seperate the main carriage from the toilet and main doors. As the train arrived into birmigham new street station everybody started to form an orderly queue i decided to remain seated until eveyone else had alighted, in front of me was a posh suited gent, who stood quite still as the doors closed in such a way that they pinged his glasses right of his face and closed on his nose, leaving him sore nosed and confused on one side and his glasses flying away on the other... i had to sit on the platform afterwards for about 10 minutes laughing like a crackhead.
