    Returning from a stag in Galway, on bus now to Dublin, hung the fook over!! Woman gets on and sits behind me and her straps what looks like a three yr old boy in beside me and he has fallen asleep against me! His head is against my side, I can't put my right arm down!!

    As I write this I am squeezed against the window uncomfortably as I have no idea what to do?

    So do I....

    Wake him up with an "accidental" elbow to the head/face?

    Wait for bus to take a sharp left and hope he flips to the other side of his chair or across the aisle?

    Ask the Mom to move/wake him?

    Do nothing and moan about it on boards?

    Help!!

    No doubt there's an abandoned push chair at a bus stop somewhere.

    OP is clearly homeless and has latched onto the family in the hope they'll bring him home.

    I remember being on a bus years ago and falling asleep on the journey.
    I woke up with my head against a very hot birds shoulder..........twice!

    She was very polite about it.

    tell the kid your are "the man" that mothers always tell their kids about

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    It would be more interesting if it were a little girl. You know the ones with the pretty little faces, and the exposed legs in the hot weather.

    .....what I'm just saying it would be a more interesting/tense situation.
