Enjoying the bar on the bus
On the bus in the middle seat, on the rotating part, there’s two seats separated by a metal bar. As it just so happens, a very large man sat down in BOTH seats, with the middle bar wedged in his crotch. He seemed to be enjoying himself very much!
Sign of Courtesy
This is a second-hand bus tale, but the source is trustworthy. My friend climbed aboard the 4 last year and as she was scanning the empty seats she noticed one where a bus schedule had been unfolded and draped over the back. There was something scribbled on it. When she walked closer she could read [...]
Rude Seat Hoggers
It never ceases to amaze me how rude some people can be when it comes to sharing their seat on the bus. These are the people who sit on the outer half of an empty double seat, blocking what should be another available seat.
No thumbs at all
About 10 years ago, I was riding the 4 southbound from downtown on a summer day at rush hour, the bus was about 3/4 full. At Franklin and Lyndale, a tall, slim African-American man in his late 40s or early 50s got on. He sat down in the sideways-facing seat directly behind the driver. There [...]
Good hard thwacks
I ride early enough in the morning that most of the time I get a seat to myself. Some mornings are packed for some reason, and for some reason the same lady used to always seems to sit next to me. I get on before she does so I end up with a [...]
A little pee pee
Last summer I was riding the 24 downtown to go to Target and an elderly woman about 3 or so feet tall (she was a Little Person) was sitting on the front facing seat nearest to the front of the bus. She pulled the cord to stop around 4th Ave, got down from her seat, [...]
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 [...]
Nothing turns a girl on more
Coming home from my brother’s late one night this past winter, I hopped on the 21 to Uptown. About two stops into my ride, a man got on and sat next to me on an otherwise empty bus. I, of course, was pretending to be sleeping, but there’s something about an uninterested person [...]
Out of the wheelchair
Have you ever seen those folks on the bus whom, no matter how many people are standing up, still decide to take up another seat with their bag, newspaper or themself? Well, as bad as that can be- this sighting was even worse and much more baffling to me.
Look but don’t touch
I always give the seat a quick scan to make sure there is nothing I wouldn’t want to sit on. One day I was going to sit in the seat directly behind the back door when I noticed some poopy looking substance smeared on the divider.
