Someone called the bus driver “woman” for being sensitive during an argument so he called the police on them.
I find it funny how men will call women emotional but then we get ol yam tits and his pedo gooner squad with that angry ass hobbit and they have thinner skin than a pudding cup. Going into bitch-ass screeching queen of hearts mode whenever someone hints at them being exactly what they are.
I used to ride the CTA blue line into downtown Chicago for work. One of the other commuters who I saw regularly was as guy with a large patchwork hat that he clearly made himself. He also called a folding sign that looked like it was made of thin pieces of plywood. He’d be sitting and reading the newspaper when I got on, but when the train was getting close to down town he’d calmly fold up his paper and start getting himself worked up. By the time we got to Clark and Lake, the big transfer station, he’d be incredibly animated and ranting about God and the devil. He’d sprint off through the crowd the moment the doors opened
Santacon and elf con crossed tracks at a train stop. For some reason there was also a train full of clowns and a few mime artists all on the same train.
Sounds like the opening scene of an Austin Powers movie
I watched a lady bring a small dead bird in a ziploc onto the Metro in Montreal and then proceed to pluck its feathers onto the floor.
and we aren’t talking about your game hen or a quail here or something. I’m lalking about a fucking sparrow or something like that.
Wile walking to the bus my dog picked up a dead bird off the ground and was just carrying it like the good little 'triever she was until I noticed and removed it.
What the fuck? Craziest thing I’ve seen in the montréal metro was like, a rat.
Tough life if you got to prep dinner on the metro.
Drugs is nothing. Vomit is nothing. I watched a dude drop a duce and thought now that’s something.
I’ve seen people pooping on the bus stop from inside the bus, but luckily I haven’t had anyone do it inside the actual bus yet.
Also one time our city decided to close all the train station bathrooms to stop people from OD-ing in them. But this of course also stopped people from going to the bathroom, so people just started pissing on the floor outside the locked doors. They’re open again now.
Yeah I saw it on the El. Poor dude just pulled his pants down and fucking went. Cleared out the train car at the next stop. That’s what you get when you take the late night trains.
Back when I was a teenager, some old hippie went on an entirely unprompted rant about not killing flies to me and my friends for what seemed like the entirety of our 30 minute bus ride. He said killing harmful bugs is necessary but flies are just looking for nitrogen so don’t kill them.
hopped on the local metro transport at like 6am. I sit down and try to not make eye contact with anyone and the smell hits me first.
dude like two seats down is passed the fuck out, dick in hand, legs stretched out, and he’s just shitting all over himself and the seat.
security comes over and tries to wake him up. they get loud and kinda rough with the guy. no response. they check for pulse. he ded. he big ded.
dude must have died mid stroke at some point in the morning commute and his bowels released soon after.
drugs are bad m’kay.
Fucking hell man, what a way to go.
man died doing what he loved most.
drugs.
Two things come to mind:
- Subway rolls up with an empty car and I was like, “these fools aren’t on this sweet-ass empty car???”… yeah, dude taking a shit.
- Another being on the A Train, express, and stuck with mariachi band at full-tilt in a convenient 10-15min gap between stops.
- And one time we were the entertainment! Had to get the tree back to the apt, dragged that shit onto the train.
Lol I love seeing/hearing what people bring on the metro. Gotta do what you gotta do, I don’t fault anyone, it’s just fun to know about or see.
Waiting for a matatu and one dude starts beating the shit out of another. Two separate times.
Cool dude gets on near Bakersfield, sits next to me, drinks a 12 pack and tells me how he murdered people in prison.
Various people smoking crack, meth, and fety on trains and buses
Dude gets asked to turn his music down, goes on escalating and frankly impressive rant for 10 minutes about how he’s going to cut the guys head clean off with his machete
Various guys jacking off
Various rants against every race
Spent 90% of my life taking public transit and I love it. Big public transit fan and I wish people would intermingle more in general.
But, if you talk loudly or listen to music on the tinny speakers on your phone, you are the scum of the earth in my eyes. I’d rather have a dude strung out on heroin on the train than you, absolutely no hint of sarcasm.
Some people are not built for coliving on the same planet.
You love it? God, I would become so depressed.
I find that driving through traffic leaves me very depressed and often angry. I’d like a few more options for my depression at least.
where’s your whimsy?
It’s a fair point, but I think I gained some empathy and perspective on my own problems. Maybe it does something dark to a person but I’m definitely fairly confident.
I get to look at my phone and read interesting things/do Duolingo. The stress of a car would be similar or worse I think.
Humanity is interesting, warts and all
Sounds like a very good way of seeing it.
I try to not be sad about this world but often fail.
I have been sitting in a tram that emergency breake’d. It was all seriously fast: Ring of the warning bell (like an overgrown alarm clock) towards the driver of the car, and next thing was that I was leaning over an old lady sitting in the opposite side. They accellerated like a snail on dope, but breaking was applying ACME Insta Stop.
A lot of trams carry sand that they can put on the rails to get more grip when they need to break really fast. That might be what happened there
Yep, they did indeed sand. But I never expected this antique fuc-er to stop on a stamp like that. I’m glad it was still slow at that point, or it would have been a big problem.
Does that cause a lot of damage, either to the rails or the … tram bits?
No, I don’t think so. There is cleanup required on the rails of course, but it’s used fairly regularly in some places I think when the tracks are wet
It is far worse to not use sand, then the wheels will lock up and slide for longer, developing flat spots which will destroy the rails they run on
And people wonder why a lot of folks are uncomfortable on public transportation.
I was excited to ride on public transportation for the first time and immediately people were doing drugs right next to me and babbling incoherently. Yep, no, I’m good.
The nice thing about being blind is that I don’t see any of that and can just pretend it isn’t happening. The smells are unavoidable though.
I took the tram to go to school for 10 years and have maybe a handful of weird incidents to show for it. This is an issue with the culture surrounding public transit. If it gets seen as the mode of transportation which only gets used by those icky poor people and weirdoes it is no wonder that the weirdoes are overrepresented, especially in the US where the only place with a tram system of note is NYC which already has a high amount of weird people living in it, even if only due to the huge number of people living there to begin with.
A dude approached me letting me know he was the Blue Elf, he was dressed in a childish vibrant flat colors, but nothing too out of the ordinary. He told me he was an artist traveling for an exchange and that he was known for giving away blue puzzle pieces, of which he gave me one. Said goodbye a couple of stops later. He left me utterly confounded. Once home, I looked it up on the Internet and confirmed all his story…
I don’t believe this one. Links, or it didn’t happen.
Yeah! I want to see this!
A very intoxicated man explained at length to my friend and me that we should stay in school instead of dropping out to join the military like he did. He wasn’t wrong.
I’ve been on a bus that drove into an active flood.
That was pretty exciting watching everyone jump on their seat to avoid the water.
A drunk man in an Elvis costume, singing to old ladies and grabbing their hands. They loved it.
