I hate public transport.
Last year after a shift at work and with the Chubby on holiday with friends I catch the last night bus home. Where I live in Forrin land EVERYONE is an F1 driver this also includes bus drivers. So as I near my stop I stand up press the bell and start to put my stuff away (mp3 etc), where I live is not far from the beach so being a saturday evening there was loads of traffic on the opposite side making their way home. I ring the bell and seconds later I am airborne, I didn't have to believe I could fly I was doing it, until I hit the floor, now, I was stood at the last door of a bendy bus, I remember it all so clearly, my face and body sliding along the filthy floor and then along that metal mesh thing in the middle of the bus, my flip flops flying in a perfect arc over my head, my mobile smashing to pieces a mans hand smacking me in the face as he tried to stop me and then landing in a heap at the bottom of the bus. I was bloodied, bruised, had huge friction burns all over my chest and was in a lot of pain, but the icing on the cake; Not one person tried to help a few people even stepped over me to get off to see why the bus had hit the brakes (a bike had been riding in the middle of the road between the traffic when a car turned and hit it into our side of the road, that was a mega ouch, the blood, bleurgh. He was alive and wailing but looked like he had split open his foot). I got up found my mobile and shoes and sat on a chair to regain myself, the bus driver comes to me and says 'ok get off the bus now, we can't go any further.' I just went home and cried.

A click and a virtual cup of tea for this!

my god yes, whats wrong with joe public?
must be the 'turn the other cheek' approach.
I had similar-type experience in our local town centre when I started experiencing (what I now know was) an early miscarriage, didn't know what was happening, couldn't get up and walk straight for more than a couple of metres without having to sit down again.
Did ONE single person stop and ask if I was ok or needed help? Did they fuck?

Boo to the driver too, although he might have been a bit in shock himself?

Dunno where your 'forrinland' is, but it shouldn't matter, basic concern for other people's welfare should be a given.

This was just far too much like hard work to read.
