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?

I don't mind it
too much either, but then I don't use it every day, just when I cant face catching the 143 or 263 bus.

Occasional
Usually going into town for the evening. I'm spared having to commute to work on public transport.

1) Was East London, now Bakerloo and Jubilee, and I often scan the carriages wondering about B3tans.
2) Stalk? What, more frickin' stalkers? You realise that stalking in a group (well, two) of people in B3ta t-shirts may make you less inconspicuous than you'd hoped?
3) I happen to know that Enzyme was wearing his B3ta t-shirt on both the Metropolitan and the District line last week. I don't think he was accosted. Possibly because he didn't have a kitten stapled to his hand.

Oooh... I'm famous!
For what it's worth, when I'm in Lunnun, I tend to frequent mostly the Metropolitan line between Euston Square and either Baker Street or Northwood, and the Jubilee Line between Baker Street and West Hampstead.
I've never been recognised while wearing my b3ta shirt... Boo.

Unfortunately
I have to joy of riding from Elephant and Castle all the way up to Angel. I'd like to point out for all the country bumpkins that this does not mean at any point I encounter Elephants, Castles or indeed Angels.
I like the idea of a badge. The thought of lots of people wearing the same t-shirt day in and day out on the tube would not help the aroma any.

@neo
Lat summer, I managed to get lost trying to cross the roundabout at Elephant and Castle. No matter which subway I took, I ended up at the wrong place.
I'm probably still there now, wandering around in a daze...

The trick is to always travel in the same direction. Or to keep going left. Or maybe that's for mazes.

Yeah: I said "daze", not "maze". Although the latter would also hold.
I even ended up at the E&C shopping centre. A more god-forsaken place I have not seen.

Well I've seen
some people on eBay who will make up badges for you, so I think I'll get a B3ta one when my bank account hates me less.
