Post your weird commuter experiences

Ill start.

Standing on the train one morning and facing one direction looking out the window. The guy behind me sat down starts snoring. Then suddenly he falls to the right out of his seat onto my feet and wakes up all confused.

A woman on the adjacent seat next to the window starts breathing really heavy like she's having a heart attack. The guy opposite asks her if she's ok and she closes her eyes (everyone in the carriage, well me, thought she died). He then asks her again and she wakes up and asks for the window to be opened and falls asleep again.

The drunken skinhead pouring his heart out to me through fits of tears over a can of Tenant's Super ranks fairly highly.

Waterloo > Surbiton overland train (2001 - 2005).

Guy on train : Can you hold this so I can **** straight?
Me : Welp.

Waterloo > Surbiton overland train (2001 - 2005).

Guy on train : I think they live in the water. The blacks, I mean.
Me : Welp.

Waterloo > Surbiton overland train (2001 - 2005).

Guy on train : < sob story about how his wife was leaving him because he was a terrible drunk and hit her because she deserved it but not as much as her sister who was a REAL ***** and probably put her up to it>
Me : Welp.

Waterloo > Surbiton overland train (2001 - 2005).

Guy on train : Does this train go to Brighton?
Me : Welp.

I could go on but won't.

Saw a man dressed as a cardboard robot on the DLR once.

Other than that not much, well except for the people who charge onto a packed train and grab a seat, then get off at the first stop 3 minutes later while the rest of us (who are on there for an hour) have to stand till theres enough seats

Public transport? yuck.

Probably for the weaboo/cosplay expo.

On the tube, standing at the end of an carriage, made eye contact with a guy sat down who jumped backwards in his seat, still staring at me. I looked out the window then he released a very loud shouting torrent at me for being the devils child, cursed and all this stuff... I got off two stops later and he was still going, staring at me the whole time. Very strange.

Saw a guy on the bus the other day with about 4-5 bolt action rifles slung over his shoulder.

I've seen a drunk fall off his seat as we went around a corner.

People in LARPing gear, cloaks, chain mail, swords, shields etc.

Some drunk on the metro made a floor pizza.

e: when I say drunks I don't mean normal people who have been out for a few, it's professional drunks who do it all the time

I have an amusing picture of a guy on the tube with a completely random sweatband covering most of his head but it'd be unfair to post it without pixellating his face.

Climate control being too hot at 21C but too cold at 20C - doesn't make sense. :mad:

Had a recovering heroin addict plead with an entire carriage on the central line for money or a sandwich for his recovery programme. The smell of him was something along the lines of Foul Old Ron and had a personality of its own. No one gave him money.

Some teenage girl was bedded down for the night on the Victoria line, on some boxes, gave off that much loved addict smell too. That was just creepy.

Couple of drunk ones "does this train go to St Albans" just after the announcer person goes "Bedford train stopping at St Albans" -_-

Every office occupied by both males and females throughout the world at all times since time began and probably before that too.

Homeless looking man standing at the front of a packed bus during rush-hour "tackle out" (either didn't know or didn't care).

bloodiedathame · 15 Jan 2013 at 10:19

I teabagged a lady on a train a few month ago. Accidental.

TommyV · 15 Jan 2013 at 10:20

Travelling from Mission Beach > Townsville

A couple sat on the seats over from me on the coach. The guy starts finger banging the girl. Bit awkward.

I think we may have found your "homeless man".. it was an accident!

I was dressed, but my jeans were quite tight.

Should have replied with "I PUT A CURSE ON YOU!"

A woman made me jump by grabbing both sides of my ribs quite hard. I turned around and asked what did she think she was doing and she responded very angrily that there was nothing else to hold on to.

A man doing press-ups.

Posh school kid makes a phone call that started with "Hey Hugo, it's Hugo."

Women openly discussing the fact they are having an affair. No shame.
