Eejits on Buses

Twilightning

Ah sure we all see them when we get on! Whether it's Anto, Johnny Eyeball and the rest of de boyz down the back blairing their tunez out on their phones or people taking up a whole seat by themselves, someone will make our journey just that little bit more gick.

Any particular sorts that get on your nerves?

None of them get on my nerves anymore

The_Citizen sorted them out for me!

Hande hoche!

Crazy old woman staring into the depths of my soul can be unsettling.

FTW! I cant stand any ****er who plays their music loud on the bus. It was worse in London, nothing like Garage or Jungle music that pisses me off.

I hate those inconsiderate arseholes who insist on sitting down beside me. Don't they know that the seat next to me is for my feet/bag! Some people:rolleyes:

Ah, The Citizen, our very own Dark Knight. I feel safe knowing he is out protecting the innocent masses from evil scumbags. I have no problem on buses, primarily becuase I exclusively ride on the heavenly 84x. Sometimes there are a few annoying UCD Abercrombie asspots on it but I have my headphones to sort that out.

They have to be under 10 years old though.

Those who hop on with a massive schoolbag on the back with no consideration to those behind or around them. Take the bag off your back you cunt!

Danbo!

A message to the guy who was sneezing on my back on the 74 this morning:

Cover your mouth
NO! it does not take 18 years of college to become a doctor.
That guy in your class that's 27, isn't mad old and it's not too late to become a doctor for him
And pass a message onto that girl you talk to every morning for me, stop laughing. I can hear it even with my mp3 player at full volume.

Oh, and....
That prick that took my seat when I stood up to give it* to an elderly lady (*by 'it' I mean the seat, not actually 'give it to her')
And, people who sit beside me on a full bus, and, when the bus empties, stay sitting beside me.


I hope you all burn in hell ('you' being the people mentioned above, not the folk of AH, you guys are allllllright)

The ones that pull their seat all the way back in front of you also gets on my nerves. No f*cking consideration for other people

Did that myself, I dont know how people can tolerate being on the bus year after year. You usually have to wait, face ignorant people, bus breaking down, drenched waiting for a drive home, planning your whole day around getting the bus to here and there.

God. Where's Brendan Grace's character in Fr. Ted when you need him.

People who fart on the bus and sit there all innocent looking or worse yet, glare at an innocent bystander in an effort to divert the blame from themselves.

One bus journey in particular comes to mind. I wrote about it here, entitled Dublin Bus : The Video Game http://sidewaysquizlings.blogspot.com/2008/01/dublin-bus-video-game.html

There was also this incident, which I found funny

On the classic 44C route I've encountered:
- Copious amounts of vomitting
- Scummers smoking (both the regular and wacky tabacky)
- Fights
- Some skanger trying on the runners he'd nicked (they were like boats on his feet)
- Guys shooting up heroin
- A couple having sex (and no, not the nightlink, this was around 4pm)

Now thanks to the Luas and owning a car I miss out on all the scandal.

HELL!

Gavin "shels"

Best thing I've ever seen with regards to these "my bag needs to sit next to me" people. On the 16, bus was jammed as usual, a large man walks up the stairs and asks an Asian chap could he move his bag so he could sit down, and the Asian lad said no his bag was there, so the large lad gets the back and throws it down the stairs and sitting down casually, was gas at the time.

The worst experience I had was on a packed bus,and traffic was bad,it was a good hour and abit journey,down the back this Nigerian woman roaring at the top of her voice down her phone,and it was loud like someone shouting at the top of thier lungs,you could see everyone on bus was really irritated,but of course said nothing,my phone rang and it was my girlfriend and it was important but I could not hear her,she kept having to repeat herself,but I couldnt hear over this ignorant yoke roaring like an animal,I just lost and at the top my voice shouted 'SHUT UP THE ****'.she froze and looked at me in horror,and everyone on the bus laughing,afew mins later the volume rose again,and people on the bus had enough and everyone had a go at her,she sat there silent,with a big digusted look on her face the whole journey,people power

This Irish sequel to Snakes on a Plane will be shown as the surprise film in the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.

It stars Colm Meaney and Colin Farrell as an intellectually challenged father and son team who attempt to make it in the cut-throat world of bus driving. Hilarity ensues when Colin falls for the new Latvian driver on a competitor's route.

Luckily my hatred for all forms of public transport means I never have to deal with people on buses! Cars ftw!!

That don't sound half bad actually.

Listening to other peoples choice of music is most irritating. I've noticed that there seems to be a direct corrolation between "Volume played" and "Musical Taste". The louder it's being played, the more diabolocial the music seems to be. I mean, when's the last time you had to take a sissors to the headphone cable of someone playing Tchaikovsky or The Gotan Project?

I remember on a corwded bus this gang of about 8 scanger girls running around the bus writing and spraypainting "tags" everywhere.I think what annoyed me more than anything was nobody else seemed to mind.
I rmonstrated with them and teh conversation evolved along predictable lines "its **** all to do with you".."this isnt you're bus" etc etc.
Telling them that the bus would be withdrawn because it would have to be cleaned and that would deprive elderly people of transport didnt seem to cut any ice with them so i lost it:"Ya bunch of ****in scum.Did nobody ever teach ya ****in respect for other people's property?You ****in low-life scumbags yas.People have to clean that shiit off and nobody wants to look at yer poxy tags.think yas are ****in gangsters do yas?****in gangsters me ****in hole.Bunch of ****in dogs.If i had a thousand pricks i wouldnt give yas one.Scumbags!"
That shut them up and they slunk off the bus at the next stop although one of them gave me the finger once she'd gotten off.
Assholes.

One weird thing I've noticed is people writing stupid stuff on the windows when they're steamed up. I had some fairly old guy, probably in his 60s, sitting at the very top of the bus one busy morning. Bus was packed. He bent forward and wrote "Tiocfaidh ar La!" on the window for no reason at all. And on another day, some 4 foot tall scumbag from my school walked around a packed bus upstairs writing "James is gay" or something to that effect over and over.

That and I've had scumbags down the back of a packed bus with a pellet gun, shooting at the window at the front with pellets bouncing back off the window hitting people. Of course nobody did anything.

There's always something, 1 thing, that ruins every single bus journey. The amount thoughtless, horrible **** and vermin children out there doesn't bear thinking about. The people who think they are the first people to ever listen to music are particularly annoying.

oh man this could be the legendary chuckey tag writer, hes been around since the 80s at least..has a very distinctive writing style..he used to draw phoenixes (well, half a phoenix and they looked like chickens) and ira men and various provo slogans ..i always wanted to find out who he was

If that happened to me, I would stay sitting in the seat too - it seems kind of rude to get up.

he seems to limit his activities to the north side though.I've seen his stuff from caple street to phibsboro,in pub toilets and on bus shelters.
Always the same
"Be a patriot its your duty"
"Unite ireland and create prosperity"
"Everybody has a part to play"
A couple of shamrocks and "celtic FC"
Was that a phoenix he draws?I thought it was a stick with flames coming off it!

I once shared a bus with a woman who spent a large percentage of her journey on the phone. She was very loud. So loud that I took out my phone to record her because I knew that later, when I retold the story, no-one would believe how loud she was being. Of course she then decides that she no longer wants to share her conversation with the entire bus and hung up.

I'll be perusing this thread to see if anyone replies with "I was on a bus one day, minding my own business, talking to someone on the phone and this crazy bitch takes out her phone and tries to record me! Freak!"

The conversation was in French.

Loretta.

upstairs on a packed 25a home one evening. bunch of kids from down the back proceed to lean over everybody and close all the windows. no-one says anything as usual. lack of manners enrages me so i open the window next to me again. girl comes back over to close it immediately. i open it, saying nothing. she closes it and says her brother is cold. i tell him to put on a jacket. open and closing game continues a few more times. still no-one says anything. seething grows as i tell them to sit down the back and stop climbing over me.
now they gather..dude beside me now steps up and tells them to back off. then the bus comes to a random stop and bus driver runs upstairs and tells them all to sit down and be quiet. they do and the bus moves off.
2 mins later same again and driver tells them to get off so eventually they all move downstairs. 15mins later the bus still hasnt moved off and now the engine has been turned off. so finally some-one gets off their arse to find out. says the driver was assaulted and he wasnt letting them off the bus til the guards came!
so....everyone takes out their phones to make the "f*ck sake* calls.
eventually guards arrive and cart them off and we move on.
no-one challenged them because they werent irish and were too afraid of being accused of anything. now dont get me wrong, if they were a bigger group of kids or were older then I would have just sit down and shut up but they were 7 or 8 years old max and it sickens me that out of 30 odd people, none had the balls to simply just say "excuse me, i'm sitting here"
