People being funny without realising it

LightningBolt

Had to get a train into Heuston this morning and was waiting for a bus to bring me further on in. Bus pulled in and the driver stepped out and went walk about. Bus conductor (needed in Dublin because we've so many buses) who is a man in his 50's with a full beard, complete with high vis vest and black hat "parades" across the road and with yells out while gesturing with his hands "Ladies and gentlemen, the bus will pull off shortly once the driver has finished going the toilet". Nothing hilarious now but once the driver returns and starts taking people on the conductor took it upon himself to grab peoples bags and put them in the holding area and commenting on how pleasant the ladies looked and wished the lads a good day!

I was on the way home then this evening and I see the same guy at Aston Quay and again he led people on the bus, swiped some of their passes for them and wished people well. Three women from Limerick were waving goodbye so he waved back at them whilst blowing kisses!!

Some of you cynical féckers will tear this to shreds but that guy made my day!

You'd want balls of steel to blow kisses at a Limerick woman.

Not funny really, but that level of hospitality on a bus, I have to say, I would be impressed an dit would make me smile!

I think it's lovely
It doesn't cost anything to be nice.
I think the only reason it's funny tho is because it just doesn't happen often enough, We're not used to people being nice and friendly for no reason and it makes a nice change

This.

Some of the express way service drivers are OK. But the shuttle bus drivers have to be the most depressed, rude, unhelpful people walking the earth.

Before I got a car had to travel via bus to work and 1 of the drivers was such an ignorant pri*k that he made my blood boil. Literally. Id love to name & shame but not worth the hassle. Everyone who took this route would say the same. Pulling into garages to get change, stopping up and talking to an old buddy etc. and ask him to stop for you?? He used to say woo? pretending he couldnt hear u, then stop half a mile on and let you off.Sound man. Clare area by the way

Theres a LUAS driver I get occasionally thats a scream.

He makes crazy announcements about the topic of the day.

Sometimes its about the weather, politics, the economy or the previous nights football match.
But he gives his personal and refreshing view in all circumstance.

His most famous claim to fame was when he warned all travellers to be aware of two female pickpockets operating on the LUAS.
" Both ladies are wearing tracksuits, and the blonde one usually carries a large hold-all bag which she uses to shield her dark haired partner to relieve you of your belongings"

The very next stop two girls got on matching the exact discription!

He had seen them while approching the stop and decided to have a bit of craic.

The behaviour of the commuters was hilarious!

I have one. I can't remember what show this happened on and who said it. Was one of them Friday night shows. Maybe Never mind the Buzzcocks? Anyway, there was a study done on how women orgasm and it was discovered that their orgasm type was in their genes and was 90 odd percent identical to their grandmother, it skipped a generation.

One of the female celeb guests innocently asks "What if you're not wearing jeans?" with a confused look on her face. Even after the audience burst out laughing it took her a miniute or two before she copped what was going on.

I know the guy you're talking about and i LOVE him, he makes my day every single morning.

I remember one morning the driver was taking ages to park the 92 up beside the curb and the inspector says really loudly :

'Jaysus it's not the Queen Mary ya have there!'

Just as I was giving out about bus drivers yesterday...

Today I was waiting for the City Link bus in Limerick and the Bus Eireann buses go down the same road into the bus station. I was sitting on my own with time to kill and was listening to my iPod, when a Bus Eireann bus passes and the bus driver waved at me! Never have seen him before.

Put a nice smile on my face!

The poster obviously has that special "no coagulating when boiled" blood type. Simples.

I was at work and this old boy came in. While I was serving him he was staring at me. Then he comes out with "I love your glasses" and a few moments later- "You're beautiful, you look like Sophia Loren-with glasses".
My ensemble on this particular day at work:

A grease stained blue t shirt
Grease stained trousers
A blue hat
No makeup
Grease splattered glasses.

Made my day:D

(I work in a take away btw-in case there is any confusion as to why I am a big ball of grease plus it was at closing time-long day)

Ok don't know why i'm sharing this cos i only come out looking like a fool in this story but a couple of years ago just after i started college there was a campaign run by the SU to give out free rape alarms. Anyway on hearing about this i turned to my friend and said that it was a joke that rape alarms weren't free already. I then continued by saying that "what were the chances you would get attacked beside a rape alarm anyway and that even if you did manage to get to an alarm, you might not have change on you to put into it so really you would have no chance against an attacker" Totally confused as to why she burst out laughing, i continued that i'd never even seen any rape alarms dotted around campus.. At this point, my friend interrupted and somehow through her fits of laughter at my ignorance explained that rape alarms were not like fire alarms that were stationed in certain locations but were instead portable alarms that you carried around. Looking back at it now i realise how ridiculous it was that i actually thought that in the case of an attempted rape i would first of all have to fight off an attacker, run to the nearest rape alarm and then have the correct change to put into it in order to raise it....
I can only say that i am no longer so naive , actually no there really is no excuse for that clanger..

last year my self and my daughters went to bray on the train, grand no prob, on the way back, we crossed over to the other side of the tracks, thinking that the train would be coming in that direction, (didnt realise it was the last stop) we were there for a bit when the ticket collector announced, "if the 3 lovley ladies sittting on the wrong side of the track want to go back to the city thay should come back across to this side" we didnt take much notice of this, he then came back on describing what we were wearing, we copped on and were mortified having to cross the bridge again,

Back in the good ol days I was in college(2000). The lecturer said she wanted some project or another printed out by whenever.

This girl, lets call her Michelle, turns to her friend and says"Where are we going to find typewriters?"
