Strange People : Bus Edition
I have now started working at the 3 store in the City [the one near crazy clarks in case anyone wants to visit me], meaning I am again one of the many commuters on the bus's in the mornings and afternoons.
So here are a bunch of distasteful chracters that one must learn to identify when on public transport.
Creepy, staring people
Don't sit next to them, don't make eye contact with them, don't even acknowledge their existence in case that causes more overt staring.
Groups of Giggling Girls
Annoying and loud, and yes I do remember a time when myself and other certain Miss's could be considered one of this particular group. But at least we knew we were being annoying and disrupting the quiet atmosphere of public transport. These kids today... no respect...
Smelly, unwashed people
Good to avoid at all times as a rule. Not just on buses.
Also note : try not to sit where such folk have sat as seats still smell of soaked in unsavory scents. [Now say that last sentence 10 times fast... and GO!]
People with headphones who laugh to themselves
I must confess this last category pretty much describes me on the bus recently. I downloaded the podcast of Ross Noble and Terri Psiakis who are back on triple J and I have taken to listening to them while on the bus. I can't help it, they are funny and random and every once in awhile will make me laugh very suddenly... which I must quickly muffle so that other bus passengers won't look at me too weirdly.
I'd try and quote some of their stuff but you can't quote comic genius [well you can but it always comes out dodgy and unfunny]. SO this means don't sit next to me on a bus when I'm listening to my podcast, because I will break out in silent giggles at weird and random times and I don't need the stress of someone sitting next to me thinking I need to be committed to an asylum... cos I don't... really...
Okay and now I am off to get more Ross and Terri podcasts because I need more fodder for future bus adventures.
Btw bye bye to Miss Loo who has gone over waters... have a good trip and don't forget to stay away from Olga!
