The most disgusting thing I ever saw on a bus was on the first Arthur's Day on a bus from Dun Laoghaire to Dublin City. A group of girls down the back were screaming and singing out of tune which was bad enough but then they started using their cans to urinate in. Absolutely no shame, in full view of everyone on the bus.

As foul and disgusting as that is, you can't help but admire the skill it takes for a drunk woman to accurately urinate into a can while on a moving bus.

Still awful though.

I should have clarified that point, they were attempting to urinate into cans, they were not exactly successful. When we realised what was occurring we moved so perhaps their aim improved but there was a suspicious puddle forming around their feet.

Another thing what wreaks my ceann* is people who sit beside me when theres a free seat in front/behind/across from me.

I was on a bus once (goin back yonks now i was about 19- im 26 now - so old ) and she sat beside me and i get uncomfortable sitting in one position so for the 3 hour journey i was crossing my legs at different angles every half an hour until she asked me to "stop shuffling"

I told her to sit in a different seat if she didnt like it, as i was in the seat first and she moved. Got evils across the aisle for the rest of the journey but i didnt care as i could shuffle away


*(stickn in a bitta the irish there to show how educated i am ):D

Generally I pay the fare below I'm meant to pay.
EG, I need to go so many stops and it costs me €1.85. Instead I pay €1.65.

Also, please and thanks when you get your ticket and thank the driver again when you get off.

When the bus is packed and you have a pig ignorant w*nker with their bag on the seat who looks the other way when you approach, and when you do finally get their attention, huff over with a face on them

I've been the person in the opposite situation loads of times. I get on, put my handbag leaning against me beside me on a completely empty bus. I look out the window and start falling asleep. Next thing I know, the bus has filled up and someone sits on my bag with a big huff out of them (almost always middle-aged + )! I would have moved it if they had just said "sorry can I sit there please?". I've said it to people before and they've never had a problem with moving their bag.

Can someone explain the make up thing to me? I've never put make up on in public (I pretty much never wear any anyway), but I don't know what's bad about it when other people do it, unless other passengers are so close that it's getting on them. Just wondering....

I personally don't see the big issue with this one either tbf :pac:. A friend of mine does hers on the LUAS most mornings, and has it down to a fine art to be able to apply make-up perfectly on moving public transport :P. I don't see how it affects any of the others on the bus/LUAS/train...

Stuck on a foggy stuffy bus with condensation dripping from the ceiling is one of the worst ways to pass the time.

lucozader

you should of said where you were going or the cost of the journey.


you could of been going a few stops, in which case the cost was less than 230

you might have been going all the way, maby that was more than 230

The bus fills up and you have to be asked to move your bag?

The driver was really cheerful (how, at 8am I'll never know) and was saying "Good morning" to each person in turn.

He was probably working since 5:30 that morning and finishing in a couple of hours looking forward to a cuppa and a breakfast roll

Dya know what I hate.. when ya walk onto a bus eirreann bus and there is one person sitting in every double seat.. I am immediately struck with a feeling of awkwardness as I dont know who to sit beside and the worst of it is when you have made your decision and for the whole bus journey you cant help thinking that the person sitting beside you is wondering why me.

Bear in mind I don't get the bus regularly or during rush hour, and am at the first stop, so the bus is empty when I get on and I have no reason to expect it to fill up. I'm hardly going to keep a count of how many seats are behind me as people get on.

Is it that hard for people to talk to other people? I don't see the big deal in letting someone know you'd like the seat beside them. And shock horror, when I ask someone to move their bag, I even say thank you afterwards!

Women with excessive nasty chemical smells ... not nice.

Teenage boys with half can of Lynx but still not smelling as bad as the women ... why ?

Don't think so, the earliest bus on that route is 7am :pac:

the stuff people get up on buses/darts etc. is unbelievable. i think because they think its early in the morning that they rest of us think we're still asleep not to notice their disgusting habits

Personally, I tend to spend bus journeys reading.
I wasn't aware that it was my duty to keep constant count of all empty seats to ensure that there are enough for each new passenger....
