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?

I had to get from Moshi to Nairobi. A bus seemed like a good idea. It was cheap, and so am I.
We boarded. The driver had a tape playing. It was the most maudlin C&W Jesuscrap I have ever heard. I've scrubbed most of it from my mind, but the jist was that death was great because you get to see God; the phrase "I'd rather have Jesus than anything the world affords today", however, is scorched on my memory. Every song on the tape was in a similar vein.
Side A ended. The tape flipped. Side B was more of the same. Eventually, it ended as well. The tape flipped... for six hours.

Sorry to have dredged up that memory for you. I shall be forcing myself to listen to Christian Rock Radio for the remainder of the day in sympathy of your experience.
Mea Culpa.

For a minute there I thought you wrote "mea cuppa". "What a good idea," I thought, until I realised that there're no teabags left in the cupboard...
