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?

God, I'm in two minds about this one.
On the one hand, yes, it's people being inconsiderate and somehow thinking that a cash till / ticket barrier is a big surprise...
On the other hand, what the fuck is wrong with all of us that a 30 second delay is so awful that it gives us The Rage ?
Yes, life is short, but I'm sure all of us waste time on a daily basis (b3ta doesn't help !). And yes, it's our decision to waste that time, not someone else making it for us, but something is wrong, isn't there, with the amount of rage we can feel (for I'm as guilty as anyone on this) for such small inconvenience. It's not really proportional is it ?
