What's the worst public transport experience you've ever had?

Was once sat on a train going from Euston to Stafford. Sat oposite me was a Liverpudlian man in a suit.
He was making lots of phonecalls, and at the start of each one he would annouce "Alright, mate? It's Peter Wingle here . . . " Every time. And for some reason I found the sound of his name hilarious. Still do. Try saying it to yourself over and over: "Peter Wingle, Peter Wingle, Peter Wingle. . . "
Halfway into the journey I was having serious problems keeping a straight face. Giggles kept erupting from me every time he said his name. I was reduced to stuffing my hand into my mouth and breathing heavily, which may have looked a little odd.
Is it me? Is there something intrinsically funny about the name, or am I strange?

I laughed.
I did read it as "Peter Wriggle" at first, but still funny.
I met someone called Quintin Quilly once.
I nearly died laughing.
