The characters you meet when commuting.

Got my usual bus home yesterday evening after work. To my surprise there was quiet a few empty seats so I sit down, take out my Zen and proceed to watch a tv show that I had recorded on it.

Next minute I get nudged in the arm. I take off my ear phones and look up and there is a guy (around 40) reeking of drink and he asks if he could sit beside me as he was sitting at the back of the bus on his own. I didnt want to be rude so I said fire away.

He sits down and proceeds to talk to a guy that was sitting across from me. I could only catch snippets of the conversation but it involved the drunk guy shaking the young guys hand every 5 seconds. The young guy got off the bus and then the drunk guy nudges me in the arm again.

I take off my ear phones and conversation goes like this:

Guy: How do you cope with it?
Me: Copy with what?
Guy: You know what, it must be very hard.
Me: I dont know what you are on about
Guy: All the attention you get
Me: (thinking he thinks I am someone else) Ah I think you are confusing me
with somebody.
Guy: I reckon you are the best looking guy on this bus. You must get a load
of women after your.
Me: Eh oh.

I dont reckon I am anything great in the looks department but still it was nice (sort of) to get a compliment.. even if it was from a drunk guy.

Anybody else meet any strange characters on their commutes to and from work?

Not so much strange, but there is a lady i used to meet when i'd be coming home from my previous job - she'd arrive at the bus stop at 4.30 every day in order to wait for the bingo to open which would have been 8.00. She would just sit at the bus stop for those few hours watching the world go by until it opened and then have her dinner there - she would have been in her 70's and told me she was from Ringsend - obviously living on her own but we chatted on a few occasions and i have to say i felt sorry for her - her whole life revolving around that!!

Now if that’s not personal abuse I don’t know what is. Not even a smilie in there to imply a joke.

Your an ugly bastard too.;)

Yeah, there's a woman, she's about 60, who's at my bus stop every day when I'm going home from work, always see her on weekdays, when I get the 8:50 bus home. She gets a different one though. Anyway, I don't know why she doesn't just go home when the shops close, it's pretty strange. She's also in my shop a lot JUST before the barrier goes down, arguing with security etc why they won't let her in. She has dyed black hair, red lipstick, wears a hat, always a skirt, then Vans..very strange altogether.

There's also 3 travellers that are on my busses a lot, weekend or weekday. The mother is actually disgusting, really fat and saggy, stinks etc. There's a daughter, or possibly niece, I don't know...no older than 15, dresses like a porn star on a day off..belly tops, low-rise jeans in December etc, and a toddler, often with REALLY greasy hair, don't know whose daughter she is.. They often fight over the phone with someone else, and communicate bwteen upstairs and downstairs by shouting...always manage to hold up the bus at some stop or other, and one time, weren't allowed on the bus because they called the driver a 'black bastard', then couldn't understand why he wouldn't let them on.

there used to be a dude on the dart who was mute and would always try so hard to offer his seat to women getting on and try to chat to them (through writing) he was weird.

another dude on the dart used to get on the last one from bray on sunday night and tell jokes and take the piss out of people, always ended up getting taken off by security, he was funny

Yeah, you meet some characters all right.

Just yesterday I was coming back home after few after work drinks. I was bored, so I sat down beside these two lads. One of them wasn't up for a chat because he was watching something on his Zen. So we had a good laugh at him with the other lad, knowing he can't hear us. Then we decided to have a bet - I said I can confuse poor Zen listenning lad and wake up his inner gay. We shook on it and proceeded. I nudged him and basically told him he was pretty. I knew, that even though he was told he was pretty by a 40 year old male drunk, he will still love it enough to boast about it to his internet friends the next day. What a character.

Sadly, I was to drunk to realise that we have no way of settling this bet, especially thet the first lad got of before I even started. Ah well.
