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?

Dude...
you broke the rules. I get a nice quiet train every morning. I know everyone on it, i know where they work (tidbits of info and clues over a long period), i know all their names (flourescent bike guy, umbrella guy, blonde changes at Navigation Road girl, girl looks like clive from accounts etc) and I even recognise their outfits and can spot them arriving from miles away by their gait. I have my platform routine, I have my coffee, the metro, i have my seat on the train, I know every bush, every building the train goes past.
My biggest single fear is that something happens (like you said - a crash, some trauma) and I have to speak to someone. Imagine that? I'd probably have to change to a different train. I'd have to nod hello, or god forbid, talk to that person every fucking morning. It would be hell.
