You would not like the old Ferry that used to go from Dún Laoghaire to Holyhead then I mean the one that ran in any weather and had no stabilizers.

So there was a poor old woman who practiced olfactory magic feeling quite ill and you just sat there?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

well people usually can't control getting sick and almost never have anything to clean it with on public transport. That said, they should notify the driver asap

I once threw up on the doors of a bus as I went to get off. I was pregnant and I was getting off a stop early coz I knew I was going to be sick but the driver didn't open the doors quick enough and I just sprayed them. Felt so bad but there was nothing I could do.

Last time I was sick on the bus was coming home from a night out in Dublin early the next morning. Had a plastic bag and got sick into it but got some on my top. Changed my top on the bus and threw bag of sick in bin when got off the bus.

A few weekends ago myself and a friend were in a beautiful 5 star resort hotel for a spa break and she threw up in the lift. Was morto for her! Poor thing still feels like she ruined my weekend and is trying to make up for it but I totally understand.

This. Most people can control their bowels or bladder on public transport (most :P ) but unfortunately it's almost impossible to control whether or not you vomit. Having said that, only the most inebriated or inconsiderate puker wouldn't tell the driver, at least. They're hardly going to hand you a j-cloth and a bottle of Jeyes fluid.

Ha, I remember that. The toilets were like an old steel bath tub full of puke, with waves of it rolling from one side of the room to the other. Sometimes almost 4 inches deep.

This is why I never sit down in public places. You never know who has been before you.

Yes when I was quite young. I think I was about 7-8. It was about 3 full on pukes and the vomit was rolling up and down the aisle on a single tier bus. My da had to put his hand to my mouth to try and stop but I was not for turning.

At least there were no turds involed.

Unfortunately I was one of them. Was on a Bus Éireann coach from Listowel to Limerick in the summer of 2005. The air conditioning on the bus wasn't working. Just as we were pulling in to the bus station in Limerick I got sick on the floor.

Not a fan of public transport at the best of times.

In my current job I've a long trek to work - Metro, Renfe x 2, Metro & Bus (one hour each way) but it's just a case of bring a book or tablet and race for a seat.

Not a bad as vomit but passengers with shamelessly bad B.O. arms, feet or otherwise should be banned, full stop.

I've been sick at the luas stop a few times. But I'm duffed so I 'think' its ok.

Remember seeing one guy on the floor in there one time getting sick with the sick washing over him.... used to be pretty bad alright

Was on a packed bus downstairs heading into Dublin city once.
Guy stood in front of me looked ghostly and was swaying a bit. He was standing just in front of where 4 people are sat near the driver (old bus layout).
Just then, he starts spewing chunks right over the 4 people sat down, making things worse by holding his hand up to his mouth and spraying it everywhere.
The bus pulled up to a stop within seconds, and off he gets as the passengers are literally dripping in the most fowl smelling sick I've smelt. One of the poor girls was going for an interview!

I used to travel over 3 hours home from college on a bus every couple of weeks. I suffer from terrible travel sickness when I'm on buses so every 2 weeks without fail I'd get sick. I'd always make sure I had a bag though and I was always pretty discreet. One week I forgot a bag so I bought a couple of things in M&S and got a bag. The bloody thing had a hole in it so it all seeped out onto the floor of the bus.

I was the only person on the bus so when I told the driver he pulled into a garage and brought me in to get tissues, some bags and a drink. It was really decent of him. I cleaned it up and moved seats and when we got to the next stop everyone that got on commented on the smell. I kept the head down and said nothing.

Those bus journeys were just awful.

No thankfully not, have once gotten on a bus and got the must rancid smell of vom and had to move to the other end of the bus to get away from it, and I could still smell it!!

I have a friend that has a daily commute of an hour and 15 minutes each way per day, she has IBS and is sometimes half way home when a cramp will strike and she is convinced she is going to sh1t herself, hasn't happened yet. A friend who gets the same bus now has herself wound up that she will be half way to work some day and will get the runs....

A group of us were getting a minibus cab into town, and it would've only been a ten minute walk, but the fresh air hit me when I got outside the bar and as the cab pulled up I thought I'd be ok for the five minute ride into town.

Bastard had the heating turned way up and I was sat in the back of the minibus, tried to motion to the lads to tell the driver to stop so I could get out. I couldn't hold it in and got sick on the floor of the minibus.

Had to pay €140 on the spot!

The lengthy toilet queues of people groaning miserably and some unable to hold the vomit in was, I reckon, a terrifying glimpse into a post nuclear strike radiation sickness scenario.
The smell from those toilets... Actually going there to relieve yourself proved counter-productive as the smell would just make you even sicker. Better off jettisoning your puke off deck.

On a night bus in London a couple years, some fella got sick coming down the stairs, bus was taken out of service for Health and Safety, with driver returning to the depot. We were given recepts so we could continue our journey, without paying again on the next bus.

A few of us joked with the driver, saying that we could sit downstairs, and keep him company, as coincidentally, our stop was just before the depot. Driver unfortunately didn't oblige, but still took it in good spirits.

Same thing happening on a Dublin Bus, driver just told us to avoid the puke.
