Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Public Transport....
long time ago I was on a bus (pre driving licence) only me and the driver left so I'm sitting right near the front, as we round the corner parked in the bus stop about 100 yards away is a car. not a big problem no-one waiting to get on and me not at my stop yet.
As the bus got closer from the corner of my eye I see a woman make a mad dash for the car, she flings open the door and hops in.
Bus is only doing about 20-25mph and more than enough time for the woman to pull the door closed... only the car being a 2 door slightly sporty model, the door is that little bit longer than the average 4 door saloon and yep you guessed it, she missed the handle 3 seconds later a loud crunch, groaning metal and the tinkle tinkle of glass on tarmac.
Much hilarity from me and a big grin from the driver I see in his rear view mirror.
i looked down at the poor woman clinging onto the stearing wheel and her knuckles have turned white and shes shaking like a leaf.
Driver asks me if i saw what happened and I confirm she shouldent be parked there in the first place. Gave the driver my details hoping to have a day off from collage in the near future. Never heard anything :(
What wierd things have you seen/done on public transport ?
EDIT : seems I really should read the posts, someone already mentioned this for qotw.. apologies for length
