Another one from the 33 route,
I was on the bus and i guy i knew got on at the airport paying £1.15 to go as far as Rush, a evil bus conductor got on and when he checked this guys ticket he said that he had to pay £2.25 to go to Rush the guy hadnt got any more money, the conductor then said if he didnt pay he would give him a twenty pund fine so i offered the guy the extra £1 he needed but the conductor wouldnt accept it, he said 'it was his problem not yours' and gave him the fine. Not Nice!!

Dont ya hate nasty b*****ds like that who have a real chip on their shoulders... as long as the fare is paid who cares where it comes from (within reason of course)...

Waylander · 01-02-2002 05:10PM

I was on the nightlink home one night after a feed of pints after work. I sat down and swiftly fell asleep with my discman, cigarettes and zippo lighter on my lap. I woke up just about my stop and got off to realise I still had my discman etc but somebody had robbed my glasses. I had to see the funny side though so I just laughed.

I had eight _empty_ buses go by me in Donnybrook yesterday (with queues at the bus stops).

androphobic · 01-02-2002 08:01PM

great thread:)

I can't remember the number of the bus but it goes from the Omniplex in Santry through Ballymun..
Anyway, I was on it one day when two drunks tried to get on the bus when the bus was stopped in traffic, the driver wouldn't let them so they started kicking the bus and smacking their cans against it.. then they sorta ran on ahead to the bus stop so when the bus got there the bus driver stopped, kept the doors closed and waited for the gardai to arrive..

The same week, I was on the 11 or the 13 (not sure), heading into town, when a gang of kids started chucking stones at the bus when it was stuck in traffic (again).. the bus driver couldn't do anything about it but sit there and wait..

Was on the 19A heading from DCU into town one Saturday night a while ago when a gang of kids started spitting at each other downstairs.. t'was absolutely disgusting

seamus · 01-02-2002 08:18PM

A mate of mine left CUS 2 years ago, and he used to always come home with stories about breaktime (around 10.45am). All of the 6th years were allowed over to the shop, and so there was always a gang of lads out on Leeson St. at that time. Coincidentally, the open-top tour bus would always come down Leeson St. at that time. And yes, sandwich crusts, apples and half empty cans would be promptly flung in the schoolboy style. I was never there, but I'm sure it would have been brilliant

One time I was on my way from town on the 27B, the driver took a wrong turn into Gardiner Street, stopped the bus, for some bizarre reason he turned off all the lights on the bus, then attempted a 3 point turn. Naturally the 3 point turn quickly (or not as the case was) became a 12 point turn. About 10 minutes, and a traffic jam on both sides of the street later, we were finally going the right way. I still can't figure out why he had to turn out the lights.

Another time on a bus to Cork, there was a guy sitting opposite me, he was about 17 or 18. For about 3 hours, he had that Billie song, "Girlfriend" on his walkman, playing over and over, and he would occasionally start singing out loud. He didn't appear to be retarded, but I think the guy had issues. I tried staring him out for minutes on end but he was unfazed by it all.

Karl Hungus · 04-02-2002 03:44AM

Well, this one time, coming back from Dublin, I had the bus trip from hell...

Now, coming home on the bus, I always listen to my CD walkman to pass the time, seeing as the trip lasted over 3 hours.
No bother, you might think.
But on this particular trip, some abnoxious bastard in the back seat came over, gave me a bloody good poke in the shoulder, and demanded, rather rudely that I turned it down. Obviously the faint noise must have overwhealmed the sound of the bus engine and the Untz Untz Untz on the radio!?

Now, not so bad you might think?

Well, this extremely dodgy ****er gets on the bus about half an hour along the trip, and demands on plonking himself right next to me.
This was the kind of ****er that would come along, and sit in the aisle seat, with his legs spread widely and slouching... Really pushing me in.
Now, people who know me, know that I'm quite a tall ****, so I need space. Which this prick was taking up un-neededly.
This is obviously quite uncomfortable.
But when I ask him, would he mind moving his legs, he responds with "Ah, shur yer fine..." and doesn't move at all, but rather, slouches down even more.

Now, some of you might not mind this kind of thing, but myself being rather a slight Misanthrope, I can't stand any close contact or crowds of any sort. I'm the kind of person who'd leave a club if it got anyways crowded.
So imagine how uncomfortable this situation is for me.

Now, about an hour away from Galway, someone farts...
Not a normal fart, mind you, but this was the most disgusting diseased ****e you could possibly imagine!
They had to open the sunroof.
You can guess who it was too...
The ****er sitting beside me!
What does he do? Demand that the window be closed, as he's cold!

Now, the smell is really lingering, and this thing is fecking VILE.
People are covering their mouths for over half an hour.

So what do I do? I pull out my deoderant can, reach over, and give a little spray down the aisle... Ah, better!
What does the guy beside me do? He shouts at me "Man, ****ing cut that out, that's rank!"
FFS! WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS RETARD!?

At this point if I had a knife, he would have gladly recieved it in the throat.

And a while later, what does he ask me?
Would I turn down my CD player!???
It's now down so low, that I can hear the radio over it.
I turn it off out of spite...

Now, people are getting off the bus, and I'm hoping, ah, maybe he'll move now. Think he would? Of course not!
So I *ASK* him to move!
He fecking refuses.
And he also refuses when I ask him to let me move.

I'm hoping he'll get off before the final stop, and I can ****ing stretch my legs...

Finally... We come to the final stop... What does the bastard do!?
HE FECKING WAITS UNTIL EVERYONE ELSE GETS OFF! And I have to wait for HIM to get off...

Pure. ****ing. Hell.

I'm sorry this isn't very funny, but it was really one of the worst moments of my life.

That was you who farted you liar...and you know it was you, and that music was too loud and i asked nicely first time, but you had it up too loud to hear me.

not.

schrodinger · 04-02-2002 09:59AM

I'm forever doing my usual of falling asleep on the nitelink and waking up in Tallaght and having to stumble home. I like adventures.

Gavin · 04-02-2002 06:21PM

Was on the 11 one time heading out to DCU in the morning.

Sat on the bottom for a change.. after seeing some , excuse my non PC language, mentally handicapped person getting on the bus. Needless to say I was hoping that they would sit upstairs..

So of course, me being an unlucky plonker, she sat in front of me. I kept my face averted cause she was swinging her head around an awful lot. Well anyway, this old woman sits down in front of the special girl. We are trundling merrily along, everyone ignoring the mumbling and sing song talking of special girl when *WHACK*. Out of nowhere the special girl smacks the old lady in front of her. Slap right in the back of the head. Couldn't believe it. 5 minutes later.. *WHACK* another in the back of the head. The old lady had just ignored her the first time, but this time she got up and got off the bus. Sat the rest of the way in silence, hoping i wouldn't get a whack.. Wouldn't look to good having a struggle with a mentally handicapped girl on a bus.

po0k · 04-02-2002 10:40PM

Angelwhore, what do you mean he wou;ldn't let you move?
Give the asshole a thump or a kick in the leg and tell him you have to take a piss, and if he won't let you out then start unzipping your fly.

Just pray you have a bit of juice in case he calls your bluff.....

Would serve the prick right too.

daftbegger · 04-02-2002 11:55PM

I thankfully dont have to worry about Dub Bus anymore, coz I got my Bike back from the shop with a 590cc rebore.
Which was nice

P.s. I also got £200 quid off my insurance policy from a liquidation refund. It just don't get any better!!!
XXX to all involved.

One time on the Nitelink (The 42M or whatever it was called, it goes to Portmarnock), I fell asleep, possibly due to alcohol induced fatigue (i.e. I was pissed). I woke up somewhere along a beach, pitch dark, freezing cold. I had to walk about 2 miles before I got a taxi.

kiffer · 05-02-2002 04:15PM

Ahh change the one thing that Bus drivers truely hate ... they can spot when I put 5 pence to little in but not when I put 5 pence too much ...
one day I get on an 84 at UCD(bellfield) and pay my £1.15 putting in a pound coin and a 20p , the driver looks at it . prints my ticket but give no change .... (keeping it for himself !!!) so I ask for it and he grunts and says how much did I put in ... then gives me my little change slip ... buss finaly gets to my stop and as I'm getting off , he yells at me , asking my how much i paid ... I say 1.15 and he says its 1.30 to which I get super mad as I know its only 1.15 having take the bus for 4 years ... he gets really upity and says that if he ever finds me not paying full fair again he'll get the inspecter to get me :eek: .... so while i walk from the stop to my house I ring Dublin Bus and ask them what the fair should be ... they say 1.05 ...(note from town to my stop it costs 1.30 but from UCD its 1.15 or 1.05 {if you ask a driver or the people in dublin bus customer care})

Now i shall shut the hell up ...
thank you for me feet.

i have to bring this post back up after my experience on a bus tonight.

we were on the 15A at about 9.00pm on the way home from town. a man got on in rathmines, with a bag of dutch gold, and sat a few seats up from us (we were at the back upstairs). firstly he started drinking his cans, and then he started havin a wánk. we ended up having to just not look at him and just go downstairs, but it nearly made me puke. as we were getting off the bus, we were talking to a fella who said that he gets on the bus everyday, and the drunk is always on it and doing the same.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Monkey · 13-02-2002 12:50AM

Report the wanker to Dublin Bus, that is just not on.

I once got a Bus that arrived on Time, I know, unbelievable, but true. I am not goint to say what route, just in case it never come's again.

A mate of mine was comming out of club 92 pissed, and got on the bus that brings everyone to stillorgan, he got on anyway and proceded to the drivers seat, then drove off with everyone on(full bus) drove to the leopardstown race course gates, open the door and walked from there home......he remember the bus driver running after the bus, while he gave him the twin fisted salute..

madds · 13-02-2002 03:10PM

This is a few years ago now, and I suppose I can laugh at it now, but it was dead embarrassing for a few afterwards.....

Had more than my fill of drink in the Viscount in Santry after work one Friday afternoon & evening. Had a few more in town and stumbled onto the 66N at about 1am, very very drunk.

Woke up a couple of stops before my own stop in Leixlip, and I can remember my vision being very blurred. The upstairs was packed full of people shouting and chatting - usual Friday night. I was sitting just in front of the stairs.

Knowing that I was in bad shape I decided to make an early dash for the door, but as I got out of my seat, the bus lurched, my stomach heaved, and I chucked out the biggest barf ever...!!

There was a young guy asleep in the seat in front - she never moved a muscle - even when the puke landed all over her! I stood up and turned round to head down the stairs....everyone upstairs had gone dead silent and just stared at me. Even with my blurred drunken vision I could see that that they were just looking at me.

I skidded/fell down the stairs, fell off the bus, had another puke and went home.

Not my proudest moment....

I like that one

And he wasn't arrested? Nobody on the bus freaked out? Nobody on the bus rang the police? Nobody on the bus kicked his stupid arsé? C'mon, is this serious? :rolleyes:
I have great difficulty believing this.

Guy Incognito · 13-02-2002 04:18PM

I was in dublin yesterday. Went on the bus from Heuston to Connolly Station (Don't know the number). The bus was completely full, there was even a fella sitting on the top of the stairs. Then as the bus moves off you can hear someone downstairs shouting at the man on the stairs.

"They're nice shoes mister." "Hey, mister." "Mister, they're nice shoes."

The man gets up from the stairs and stands upstairs.

"What size are they?"

Then the man downstairs starts shouting questions at everyone down there.

"Here missus, are you married?" "Is that a wedding ring?" "What kind?"

Then as everyone ignores him or tells him to go away ("What? Go away? Alright then missus."), he starts on a lad from Cork.

"Where are you from?" "Where?" (He answers him) "From ....?"

Everyone upstairs laughing, just hoping he wouldn't come up. Thankfully he didn't. Poor Cork guy, he kept him talking for most of the trip. Same questions over and over again.
