Bus Ride with Ana
LA bus rider and bus fashion photographer, Ana H.R. takes Ethan of Doin’ it with Ethan on a bus ride. Love the quote “the bus ride can be convenient at times, inconvenient at times, and you always always meet crazy people.”
Other people’s crazy
I was on the 74 the other day, on my way to downtown STP. A woman got on the bus at W 7th and sat in the first seat, opposite the driver. She began to loudly yell at the bus driver to stop jerking the bus around.
I’m a comedian!
I ride the bus every day to work and I have a lot of stories. I can’t believe what some people say or do when they’re on the bus. One of my favorites is a man who was sitting on the back bench talking very loudly to the people around him. He was [...]
Do you know her?
A few years ago, I caught the 16 eastbound at 4th/Nicollet and sat about halfway back. At the 4th/Marquette stop a bunch more people got on, including a guy who sat about 2 rows behind me. As the bus pulled away, dude 2 rows back started yelling clearly, but calmly: “DO YOU KNOW THE BLASPHEMING [...]
Foundation stains
Was riding the 11 when this crazy obviously drugged up woman was woken up by her boyfriend before their stop. She proceeded to attempt to groom herself and put on about 2 pounds of makeup (it wasn’t even close to being enough to cover all the sores on her face) and make a few [...]
A dead f’r
A guy gets on the bus, talking loudly on his cellphone. It was pretty crowded that day but every single person was listening to this guy, whether you wanted to or not.
Twenny-Five Cent
Back in 2003, I was seeing a girl who lived near Penn & Dowling in N Mpls. She took the 5 back and forth to work in downtown Mpls most days, and rarely had any trouble (until she got her purse snatched at the bus stop-another story).
No aluminum foil hat
This happened today. A woman got on an eastbound trip at 4th and Nicolett. She was middle-aged, plump and wearing a few too many scarves. She said she wanted to get to Kellogg, in St. Paul. It turned out she wanted to go to Kellogg and John Ireland.
You’re a demon from hell
Some of the strangest people hop on the bus: we all know that. I was taking the 16 from the University to downtown Minneapolis around lunch hour, and as I got on I looked around. No one too strange, except this busy-looking woman, 50-ish, with a small duffel bag, who was sitting in [...]
Backpack to the Face
Last week on my way in to work a woman walked down the aisle and as she was dodging legs and shoulders she nearly took off my head with her backpack. Lucky for me I’m skilled at avoiding backpacks but she must have hit someone a couple rows behind because I heard a pissed off [...]
