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?

I'm so sorry.......if you were on the Northern Line, in the morning rush hour, in summer 2004, the day I decided to use the tube to get to a rehearsal.
I was playing tuba in the first half, and cello in the second.
Now after the first, say, 4 or 5 trains had proved impossible to board, eventually I hit on the cunning idea of waiting for the doors to open, where some poor commuters were greeted with:
"It's heavy, metal, and coming your way in about 2 seconds" before I threw the tuba through the doors, and followed in its wake into a now quite reasonable space, cello nonchalently hitched over my shoulder.
I thoroughly recommend the purchase of a tuba to all commuters. Yes, they're quite heavy, but once on they make an excellent seat, and a surprisingly good conversation opener with members of the opposite sex.
