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?

Do you know what, I never answer these.
But I had the shittiest journey the other week. I'd had a terrible day so I got on all crying and that, and I have the journey home from hell.
For starters, the journey was to my home in Wood Green, which is bad enough anyway. But all in one night:
There was a fight and I got elbowed in the head, people bled everywhere and no-one helped them and I lost my faith in the human race.
I offered an elderley gentleman my seat, and he told me he was perfectly capable of standing and what did I think he was, crippled? I said, no, I was just trying to be nice, and he said, well don't bother next time if I was only going to offend people. So I won't.
At some point on this journey (probably being bundled about during the scrap) I lost an earring. This wouldn't normally be a big deal, but they were really nice earrings.
I got to Wood Green and my oyster card wouldn't let me out. I went to 'seek assistance' as the machine kindly advised and just burst into tears at the miserable TFL worker, who just let me out the barrier and sent me on my way.
I found out the next day this meant my Oyster had charged my £5 for not completing my journey.
I know it's not like anyone died, and there's no gratuitous nudity or swearing, but it was a really crap 20 minutes or so.

that sucks :o(
that old man probably goes on about "youngsters having no manners these days" when he's in the company of other old gits. I think he's the exception though so don't get too down hearted :o)
My wife and I were waiting to be let into the Hippodrome stalls area, and there was a small bench for only 2 people. As we were the only ones there we sat down, but a coach load of old ladies came in so we offered our seats. They thanked us but the leader of the group still came and had a go at us for some reason about "abusing the disabled facilities". cunts

You poor bunny.
The old git is probably one of those guys that hate the entire world anyway so I wouldn't get too upset.
Have a click.

Shame
The old bastard will live to regret that, he'll have his comeuppance.
