Private Pillow
My most embarressing moment in riding the bus for 20 years is the time some man got on the bus. His eyes looked a little buggy. He moved slow. He sat right down next to me on the first seat. I knew something was going to happen by the way he looked. And it did! Right away he toppled over. Passed right out on my lap! My face was beat red. Every one around me was looking at this. I never felt more idiotic in my life. Some stranger was using my private parts for a pillow. I felt like my space had been invaded or my civil rights violated. How would you feel?
A man sitting in front of me off to the side said with a chuckle “Is he heavy?” I just nodded with an embarressing grin. We went quite aways before the bus went over a bump. That was enough to jolt the man awake. He sat up fine after that. I swear he never knew what had just happened!

I have had people start to teeter over in my direction as they nod off, but never had anyone actually LAND on me! I’ve also watched in suspense as someone in an aisle seat slowly starts to list to the side, nearly toppling out of their seat into the aisle, only to startle awake and right themselves.
