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?

*Clip*
I commute to London by coach from the wilds of Kent on a daily basis so it's almost like this qotw was made for me.
On the coach, there's an unwritten rule that once we get out onto the M2 excessive noise is strictly verboten.
In the mornings, I have a very low tolerance noisy buggers on MY coach, I get up at 5:15 every day and value my nap on the way into work.
I especially dislike it when someone decides to clip their fingernails on the coach, in the seat directly behind me....With every *clip* I could feel my blood pressure rising, but none the less I could have coped had a shard of fingernail not become entangled in my hair. At that moment a red mist descended, I removed the offending fingernail, shifted round in my seat, gave them my views on public fingernail clippage and threw the errant nail over the top of the seat into their lap.
HUMPH!
It's my first post, so be nice please!

GRRRRRRRR
That one gets me every time too.
Saw a feller on the train a couple of weeks ago doing it. The bit that bothers me the most apart from the fact that it's minging, is the fact that he was dropping the clippings on the floor.
Your first post just got a click :-)

I've never had nail clipping....
...But I have had people brushing their hair on buses... I find that disgusting, especially when they shake it to get all of the hair off!
