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?

GenocideMany moons ago i used to live in the vibrant london suburb of wembley quite close to the old stadium in fact. The thing about wembley is that its very afro-carribean and very indian. Most of the caucasians that you met are from parts of eastern europe. Oh and the odd nz/oz/sa houseshare.
I used to reside on park lane if you know the area.
After a day out in london i caught the tube back to wembley park station . Normally i would walk back to the house unless a bus happened to be there as it was only about 5 stops along the road.
One day joy of joys a bus happened to be waiting at the stop across the road , so welgar thinks " Wont be walking today".
It was one of those small local busses that seat about 30 people. When i got on it was pretty full in fact there was only one spare seat so i took it near the back. I was the last person on anyway.
As chance would have it i was sat next to the only other caucasian on board , a man in his early thirties.
The bus gets going after going past the first two stops the man turns to me and says in a rarther loud voice "Yup . What we need is some ethnic cleansing around here!"
Ooh fuck everyone on the bus heard him including the driver. Did i mention that there were a couple of large angry looking Afro - caribbean types on board? Glancing up towards the front i caught a strange glint in the drivers eyes from his mirror
fuck
fuck
fuck
You could cut the tension with a knife. Threre were probably a couple on the bus anyway. Everyone had there eyes and ears on us and i was up next.
Dilema : Get torn to shreds by an angry mob for being a racist if i agree or get attacked by some nutter for being a paki lover.
Deep breath and ......
Ring the bell "Excuse me this is my stop" get off.
Wasnt my stop but close e-fucking-nuff.
I watched the bus disappear into the distance with the bigot still on it. He was either very brave or very stupid but a complete physco upon reflection. Wonder where he was released from?
I dont like busses anymore
