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?

Disability ftwI attend Kingston University and live in NW London. It's only about 17 miles as the crow flies but on the most awkward tube/national rail system EVER it's like a 2hr journey.
During Freshers' Week I decided it would be a fabulous idea to walk along a kerb completely pissed. Fate thought it would be a fabulous idea to snap my ankle in half. I thought it would be a fabulous idea to walk home for about a mile on a broken ankle, being far too pissed to realise it was broken.
The next day I hobbled to hospital, got splinted up and X-rayed and was given a crutch. Within a couple of weeks I didn't need it anymore so resumed my full mobility.
However, whenever I make the home-Uni or Uni-home trek, often in the mornings or evenings where seats are scarce, I very often take the crutch I don't need. It's amazing how nice people are to cripples. I always get a seat.
The best thing is the look on their faces when I hobble off the train then collapse the crutch, throw it over my shoulder and stroll off, whistling.
Ticket to Hull pls.
