Jodi's Journey

I simply LOVE the glacial pace buses are running. 20 extra min to sit next to a dude that smells like sour milk. #bustales #Spectacular

Taking the bus to work is like relying on your hungover unemployed slacker friend to get you to work every morning. #bustales

There is no heat on this bus. Battery at 70%. Not halfway. Things are not looking good.

I have 92% battery life on my phone. That will hopefully last the commute to work. #bustales

Ok, most of the things I write about here are observations of people or things I see on the on bus.

This is slightly different, it was something I saw looking out the window of the bus into the car beside us.

A woman was eating chicken.  Not groundbreaking except she was driving.  When she needed both hands, she put the half masticated carcass on one of those grip pads for phones that people have on their dashboards.

Right up there with one of the grossest things I have seen.

Skipped going pee before leaving work in order to catch the bus and then bus was late.  Totally would have had time to pee. Now I have a bladder buster of a ride home. Damn!

Bus is packed and some guy won't move his bag because he's saving a seat?? Uh... How 'bout no... #bustales

If it wasn't for the abundance of unwelcome bodily fluids & airborne viruses the veg out on the bus ride home wouldn't be so bad . 

This is unacceptable! Move your bag and let someone sit down. #bustales #BusEttiquite

After seeing someone wet themselves on a bus tonight, I wonder how often WPG Transit washes the seats. *Shudder*

Woman is wearing an outfit with Camo, leopard, zebra and sparkles. It's like the fabric version of a glam African Safari. 

Knew it was too good to be true. Driver is trying to mimic the tropical climate of Cuba. It's a big rolling hot flash over here. #bustales

A seat all to myself on a Friday morning commute? #PinchMe #Bustales

Dumbledore is at my bus stop disguised as a muggle. 

Chic next to me is talking via Bluetooth and texting. She then pulls out a 2nd phone to take a picture.  #GiveItARest #ThumbCramp #bustales

Chic beside me is on the phone & trying to explain how a 70-40 split is fair. Uh...110 mean anything to you? 

Woman behind me is obnoxiously chomping on chips. Sounds like she's chewing glass.  

Gah! Suited man is farting. Sitting here in abject horror with no where to go!

Who farts on a bus knowing that their ass is eye level with someone face?

The ass to face ratio is way off this morning. Kinda wish I was standing and not sitting. 

Playing a game on my phone on the bus. I stopped playing for a second as something out the window caught my eye.  Total stranger tapped me on the shoulder to point out a game move... They thought I was stumped.

I'm not saying this bus is slow. What I will say is the chic next to me has knitted an entire sock during the ride in.

Spilling your purse contents all over the floor of the bus is akin to reading your diary aloud.  

Again the sleepy dude from a few months ago is beside me! At least he's consistent!

Thought she was doing her makeup & was horrified when she started eating it. Turns out it was pudding. Noted. 

Aboard the big rolling turd. Rather sedate ride home. Maybe it's the referee keeping everyone in line. 

There is something creepy about people who bring regular (non travel) mugs full of coffee on a moving bus. It just seems so cocky that they are confident they won't spill. What is there was no seat a d you had to stand? Really? 

The only way I am going to catch a breeze is if the big rolling turd gets above 60km. #needair #bustales 

Stinking hot on this bus. Nothing to do but sit here and sweat...while trying to avoid eye contact with the dude in the tank top #bustales 

Wish my phone had a thermometer so I could document the ridiculous temperature that this bus is.

Got off the bus only to have to get right back on because I didn't know the same bus changed routes. A tad embarrassing.

Big puddle on bus floor. Please be water.

You know those parents who act so perfect when everyone is watching and despite the act, you know damn well they lose their shit from time to time just like the rest of us.

Apparently society cannot be trusted to leave fresh cement alone.
We need to hire handlers.

A guy on this bus just decided he needed to sit and parked it right in the middle I the aisle. That's new.

New cement poured at this bus stop. There was a guy in a patrol best just standing guard. I guess there won't be any initials in the cement in his watch!

Kid on bus is still pitching a fit. Fighting the urge to get up and say "I have a headache!! This shit ends now!" 

I have a massive headache and a kid on this bus just decided to have a huge tantrum providing a visual representation of the pain in my head

Guy just banged on the window outside my bus and I screamed. Awesome, now I'm the bus freak today. 

Old guy beside keeps rooting around in his pockets. Rather unsettling.

Guy beside me is asleep and starting to lean on me. #getoffgetoffgetoff #elbowsout #bustales 

It's pouring & this lady has elected to stand in the rain. Bus shelter beside her is empty. Wtf

This bus ride feels like what I would imagine those old school vibration machines to feel.

Guy in a Mexican poncho, wearing a cowboy hat, black shoes, white socks playing a ukulele. Boom. Friday.

The fighting bus broads are now gone. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Two women are fighting on this bus. One has a bag on the seat and refuses to move it. Game on. Wish I had popcorn.

I can't want for someone to tell this douchebag to move his shit so that people can sit down!

Jerk.

Gah!! Sitting next to a #chattycathy this morning. Morning bus rides are for zoning out people. #bustales #oddstranger

Guy on this bus has the exact same laugh as my Uncle. I've looked over at him a half dozen times just to check it isn't him #bustales #odd

2 teen boys in front of me. One farted, other laughed. Farter said "don't worry these seats can take a punch" #bustales #didnotjusthappen

This girls hair matches her bag! Cute! 

Apparently this girl did not get the memo that Lululemon pants are see through. Nice days of the week underwear though #bustales

Bus patrons are killing it fashion wise. This lady has amazing heels on. No way to get a pic without completely freaking her out #bustales

I love this woman's hair. Nice highlights!!!

Child in front of me is screaming "I want more makeup!!!" while her mother looks mortified. Walking talking birth control people #bustales

I want to be in as good of a mood as the guy on the red moped (w/ matching helmet) beside this bus. He's waving at everyone.

No one to marvel at (good or bad) on this bus. Going to be a boring ride home. Even Rip Van Winkle keeps things interesting.

woman in front of me is wearing a coat made out of the strangest fabric. Suppressing the urge to touch it.

Gotta be a pretty heavy smoker to stink up a whole bus merely by walking onto it. 

Old guy sleeping next to me on the ride home #bustales I am having a flashback. I've sat next to #ripvanwinkle before.

I KNEW it!!  Back in March 2012  I sat next to this guy and he was sleeping back then too!

Why am I always sitting next to the chic who does her makeup on the bus. I will never understand this.

Just when I thought this bus ride was uninteresting, guy pulls out (and starts to eat) a bucket of chicken. So classy.

Can we the bus riding public collectively agree to pop a mint before riding the bus? #dragonbreath #bustales #iwillsharemygum

Apparently Haliotosis Hank has a twin...Bad Breath Brian.... #bustales

Very thankful for my scarf today. Haliotosis Hank is potent. #gross #wantamint?

Gah! Would gladly take lovey dovey couple over Haliotosis Hank who just sat down. 

Lovey dovey couple in front of me is making me want to kick their seat. Sucking face on a bus? Must be the height of romance. Stop it.

Walked away from an amazing shoe sale to catch a bus. Personal growth or insanity, I can't decide. #bustales

Some days you run for the bus. Other days you say screw it and go shoe shopping till the next one arrives

No strange people, no odd smells, perfect temperature. This bus ride is way too normal. Freaking me out. #bustales

Woman next to me smells like cigarettes & soup. She also doing a crossword. Total Package.

It would make me very happy if the guy beside me would stop farting every 5 seconds.

He must be able to smell how bad it is. Wouldn't that embarrass you enough to stop????

Tired today. Crazy, fall asleep on the bus next to total stranger tired. 

Snagged a window seat for the drive in. Monday morning bus score! Never happens! 

Sitting next to the spokesman for Axe body spray on the drive in. #cantbreathe #bustales

This bus driver is crazy. There is now way we are making it home without getting in an accident. How do you fishtail a bus??? #bustales 

There is a guy with a hard hat on my bus. Feel like #YMCA will start in any minute. #bustales

Woman beside me is furiously jotting notes. Feel like I am being graded on my commuting skills.

Woman on the phone beside me TOTALLY lied. Said she was still at work and couldn't make plans tonight because she'll be at work for a long time. Liar liar pants on fire. :)

This guys gloves kind of give off a creepy vibe. 

Snowstorm imminent & my bus is on time. Yup hell's frozen over already.

This woman has no sense of personal space. That is her blue bag in the pic, mine is black.

There is a guy standing on this bus with his eyes closed. Kinda looks like a Crap version of performance art.

I am usually not a fan of cologne on men but the guy beside me smells amazing. Trying to sniff inconspicuously .

For my entertainment $ there is nothing greater than a bus driver slamming the brakes & everyone falling down. Always funny.
