Public Transport TraumaCompletely 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?

Not really traumatic... well maybe a little.I was on the bus home from work one afternoon. Now back then, I worked on the outskits of Rotherham, but lived in the Doncaster suburbs. Naturally, this means the bus has to pass a few miles of open fields and small villages en route. Shortly after stopping on the outskirts of one such village, where your typical baseball cap-totting chappy gets on, the bus set off on its merry way, when suddenly some nutter in a full gorilla suit runs out of the bushes and straight at the bus with his arms flailing. The bus had already set off, and even if it hadn't, I wouldn't have let the guy on if I had a choice. As we pulled away, the simeonesque chappy stood at the side of the road yelling gibberish for a few minutes, and then ran back into the bushes, presumably to await his next 'victims'.
There was a few minutes of silence, then everyone just started laughing hysterically, and wondered what the hell was going through his mind.
I've never seen the monkey since.
