Lyrical Gangsta

No matter how much I like people, sitting on a hot crowded bus instantly puts "don't touch me don't touch me don't touch me" on loop in my head. I'm trying to match it to a 90s rap song to pass the time.

Snort

Man in front of me wearing headphones is laugh/snorting watching a movie on his phone. It's the most hilarious thing (the snorting I mean, but apparently the movie as well)

Once a mom....

When the bus slammed on its brakes today and we all went flying forward, a woman in her early sixties instinctively put her arm out in front of me so I wouldn't fall. Afterwords she looked really embarrassed but then said, "once a mom, always a mom". 😊

Lunchbox

Guy in front of me is carrying his lunch; a ziploc bag full of spaghetti and meat sauce. I sincerely hope he doubled bagged it.

Speaker

Who uses speaker phone on public transit? Apparently dude beside me needs to pick up milk on the way home.

Cock a doodle doo

Taking a minute to appreciate this apartment block with Roosters on pedestal marking the grand entrance.

Back Bench

Not very much room on the back bus bench. Dude squeezed his way in and now I'm sitting side saddle smushed up against the window. awesome.

Tiger Beat

Ah back to school bus rides. Girls beside me are giddily flirting with the boy in front of me who keeps turning around and winking when they tap him on the shoulder. Getting an awkward front row seat for this tiger beat extravaganza.

Numb

Wildly uncomfortable ride into work. Forced to ride side saddle squished up against the window by some dude who wouldn't move. Follows by an attempt to elegantly walk into work with my right leg completely numb.

Hero

Woman was running for the bus, got there just as the driver was pulling away. Rather than give up, She smacked the side of the bus a few times to get his attention and when she got on looked him right in the eyes and said "seriously?!" This chick is my hero.

Two seaters

If there are open two-seaters and you choose to sit next to someone, just know that we all quietly think you're a psychopath.

Killed it

I see the whole spectrum of fashion on my daily commute but every now and again someone knocks it out of the park! This gorgeous lady is a rockabilly vision! Love it!

Gadzooks

Currently trapped in a noxious cloud of Drakkar Noir with no open windows in reach. Gadzooks!

Raised by Wolves

Who are these people that just randomly shed their shit everywhere? Were you raised by wolves?

Hmm

This bus smells like cheese. 100%.

Perfect

Kid keeps staring at me while he defiantly picks his nose and the driver just stopped for a pee. Perfection.

Sunny

Older lady gets on bus today in heels/skirt saying hello to all. Good Morning to you as well you delicious sunny little sauce pot. #bustales

Personal bubble

Season of sleeveless tees & packed transit is upon us. Personal space buffer when sharing seats just took a major hit #bustales #shudder

Traffic whoops

Ok. Bus driver turned on to one of the busiest streets by accident ... at rush hour. This is going to be ugly.

Lost

Good grief, first yesterday's wrong turn and then today driver was in wrong lane and couldn't make the necessary turn so we had to go a block up and circle back. #59 keeping it interesting.
