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?

It made the news in Canberra
I've been showing a few people 'round here that story.
It is one of the more ridiculous things I've ever heard of. As I posted in another forum, all the more ridiculous as I am aware of someone who flew from Australia to the UK, around Europe and back to Australia, the whole time inadvertently carrying a box of razor blades and swiss army knife in their carry on luggage. Yet they pick on a Transformers shirt, because obviously Islamist Terrorists would recognize the power of the shirt as so effective that they will be willing to risk bearing a graven image in furtherance of their ultimate goal...
I've been through security having animated debates about Shining Path or the GLA without them batting an eyelid, but should they catch site of a book in Arabic in my bag then it's time for questions. Makes you realise what a sad, simplistic world we live in today.
