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?

Oops.I was on my way to an appointment and had to use the train to get there. Made my way to Clapham Junction without a hitch, and crossed to the platform my train was leaving from. A-ha, says I after seeing a train to Brighton already there. I jumped on, believing my station to be the next stop. It wasn't, as I discovered on the information screen after the train doors locked. I ended up at Gatwick Airport. The ticket inspector was very nice about it and didn't laugh at my stupidity.
I now triple check the board on the platform before getting on the train.

hmmI thought Gatwick Airport was on the way to Brighton? Shouldnt you just stay on and then it ends up in Brighton anyway?

Clarification timeI needed to get off at East Croydon, and pretty much every train that goes to Brighton will stop at East Croydon. Except the one I got on.
