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?

Aw, bless.
This wasn’t so much traumatic for me as for the poor twat who thought he would vent his bad day on me.
To set the scene I am not a small person. Ok, at 5’ 6” I’m not that big. But add to that the 16 stone frame and you’ll get some idea. It’s not all fat as I was a heavyweight gym rat for a while, anyway you know what I mean. Add to that the fact I was wearing a rather thick leather levi style jacket and as you can guess I was taking up about one and a half seats.
Normally, if it’s crowded on the metro I will squeeze myself in as much as I can so the seat sharers can fit. On the day in question this was not the case. There were shedloads of empty seats. On gets a fellow fat bastard and he sits next to me. There were empty double and even quadruple seats. Did he sit in one of those? Fuck no. Next to me.
I continued reading and listening to my walkman (yes it was a while ago) while he squirmed and wriggled and became increasingly agitated. I had guessed his intention of making some sort of scene or starting an altercation and the following exchange took place.
Me: Is there some sort of problem?
Him: Yeah, you’re taking up too much room.
Me: There are loads of empty seats, why don’t you use one of them?
Him: I’m not moving why don’t you move?
(I was in the window seat FFS)
Me: Well to be honest I don’t want to. You are the one cuddling in ……. But honestly I don’t mind, get as close as you want. (with my best seductive smile).
He moved pretty sharpish and I relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the trip home.
Length? About 35 minutes on a good day.
