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?

On the subject of giving up your seat for the elderly...I remember being very young and my mom was reading to me from a book of rules for little kids. Such rules included always saying "please" and "thank you," as well as washing your hands before meals, et cetera. Then we came to a rule near the back: "Always give up your seat if someone older than you gets on the bus." My mom said, "Listen, I want you to follow every rule in this book...except this one. Just because people are older than you doesn't mean they automatically should receive your respect. Old people are often bastards anyway." To this day I've never offered my seat to an elderly person and on this point I think my mom would be proud.
