This is a question Public Transport Trauma

Completely Underwhelmed writes, "I was on a bus the other day when a man got on wearing shorts, over what looked like greeny grey leggings. Then the stench hit me. The 'leggings' were a mass of open wounds, crusted with greenish solidified pus that flaked off in bits as he moved."

What's the worst public transport experience you've ever had?

In regards to Kaol's bass....
I took a bass on the tube the other day, but unfortunately I didn't have a gig bag so it was just poking out of my holdall (straight up in the air). Now the headstock on said bass looks like this: farm4.static.flickr.com/3292/2328125327_d9e5311a7f.jpg

Now for everyone who gets the tube - think of those twats who dive throught the doors at the last minute and delay the train by making the door re-open...

So i'm stood on a busy train (i.e. only enough space for my two feet) with the point end of the bass angled towards the doors and mr 'I like to jump on at the last minute' dived in and missed having his eye socket cruelly penetrated by about 3mm. I laughed. He looked a little scared. I hope he learnt a lesson. If not, I urge us all to take pointy but un-prohibited items into the tube for this very reason.

You get my first click of the QOTW
But... You did spell my name wrong...

"Cruelly penetrated" is a phrase that needs to be used more often.

No problem!
You should seriously get a case though.

dullness.....
Yeah I know, but the bass only cost me £20 and I wasn't even sure if it worked :)

Incidentally (and boringly) I did have to re-solder all the pots, but now it plays ok :)

Now it just stays on a stand in the house. When I'm not poking it in people...
