What's with public transit that attracts just the fucking weirdest people on the planet?

Every time I ride the bus there's always someone there that's just fucking off their rocker, or just..... not right. From the bearded lady to really really drunk natives.... The other day I saw this guy, had to be in his mid twenties hitting on what looked like a 12 year old gir.... what's with this fucking bus.

I thought I was the only one to notice this. I live in a small town of 125,000 in Southern Ontario, and everybody who rides the bus here looks homeless or something.

You have got to be freaking kidding me?!?!? I live right next to you man and the train is NOT a place to get numbers. Maybe there is some small exception for the fullerton stop that a crapton of Depaul students mill about at different times, but I can tell you the train is generally accepted as a no no place. I mean it almost bothers me if a hot girl tried to pick me up on the train, mostly because of the aforementioned number of smelly, dirty, psychos that are constantly on public transportation. I mean I hear supposed the 151 is a good bus to make chit chat, but even then I have my doubts.

Yeah, 90% of the time the girls go to DePaul. And when I go home from school, I take the Brown line north to Damen and all of the wierdos get off at Belmont, so its smooth sailing from then on.

The weirdos are the best part of public transportation. Seriously, you can see average, boring Americans everywhere you look. I say enjoy the bus and its freakshow atmosphere!

In college, I rode the city bus back to my apartment for two semesters. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my entire life. There's really nothing more entertaining than a bus full of middle schoolers, retards on their way to church (real ones, not just standard churchgoers), and disgustingly fat poor people.

I take public transit every day. Luckily, the 5 years I spent working at a psychiatric institution has inured me to the daily nutbars I now have to face for free. For example, just from the last couple of weeks:

- middle aged woman screaming at some old lady to stop looking at her or else God would rise from her flames
- drunk guy (this is at 7 am, people!) and his buddy, drunker guy, wildly singing songs off-key and power farting
- crazy hot chick who passed me a note but when I opened it up, it was full of inaccurate verses cribbed from Leviticus
- unhappy older guy with 4+ children, all under the age of 5 and SCREAMING
- unattractive older women repeatedly asking if I've heard the good news about Jesus

In college I rode a bus that made a stop at the Veteran's Hospital. The place was crawling with troubled men.

Take this scenario and put it on an overnight Greyhound bus, and you've got me a few years ago. It was the 7th circle of Hell.

Anybody doing that on a bus might as well be wearing large sandwich boards that say "MUG US".

Why in the hell would you bring your $250 videogame system on the fucking bus? You want to get robbed so you can whine on GA about it?

I agree.. I don't like riding public transportation much to begin with, and it people started using it as a pick up spot I think I'd start avoiding eye contact all together.

Although, I do think Missed Connectons on Craigslist is pretty neat.

Actually I hate the people who work in busses/trains more than the people who use them. Sometimes I wait at a bus stop for a bus, and it stops...but that damn driver doesn't open the door and continues driving.

Once I witnessed the bus driver roll on past a few people waiting at a stop because she was arguing with two kids about their cursing in the rear of the bus and didn't want to let them off until they apologized. [somethingawful wtf emoticon]

Then there's the ones who give you attitude when you say anything (up to and including "hello") because it's just so hard to drive a vehicle and announce stops for 8 hours+an hour break per day

I don't know how that could possibly be true.

The one time that I have asked for a number on a train I got burned like nothing else. I had drank a few (just buzzed) and the train was mostly empty, and my friend and I talked up a couple girls. My friend left and so did one of the girls, so we were left to continue talking. She was wonderful. My stop came and I asked for her number as I headed for the exit. I didn't catch it the first time and asked again. Didn't catch it. Asked again... door closes on me. Oh God how badly did that suck.
