What's the strangest thing you've heard on a bus?

Michellenman · 21-06-2008 07:35PM #1

I was on my regular bus route today into town, it was lashing and unusually the bus was silent cue the three 14/15 year old ''emos'' with their faux American accents etc..

Aaaaanyway, they started talking about how the smoke various kinds of illegal substances and what not, and one began to regale exactly how hash was made. According to him, special 'seeds' are fed to camels, who then shít them out and this excrement is then harvested and dried and compacted and sold...

Needless to say most of the bus nearly cracked up. So i was just wondering, what's the weirdest/funniest thing you've heard on a bus?

:cool:Don't dis him, could be my kind of guy.;)

There is a gentleman on the bus most days I get it on my way home. One day I hoped on and just caught the end of what he was telling another person which was.."..they've tried to poison me, stab me, run me over, kidnap me but they won't shut me up and I'm still here after all these years." He was well into his 60's. Wish I had have been there at the start.

Got a kind of a tin foil hat wearer look about him.

a group of 12 yeear old "D4's" who were in primary school,
discussing anal sex.
and various methods of emm lubrication..
and they certainly were not quite about it either

I once heard someone talking about a post Pighead had put on boards. That was odd.

old woman across from me one day said "were on time"

Sherifu · 21-06-2008 08:05PM

The bus driver would say 'Grand, thanks, bye' everyday. I found that odd.

Ross_Mahon · 21-06-2008 08:14PM

A group of new age scangers sitting at the back of the bus, with their straightened hair and talking like fags about stupid stuff...

Deco-"I woz ride'n her in teh toilets"
Moped-"Woz she nice looken?"
Deco-"No big fat burdd, but she gave me some E"
Burger-"Pushin for da cusion boys!" *High pitched scumbag laugh*

couple years back i was on the way home one weekend and the driver left on the microphone by accident after leaving one of the towns. he starting talking to a woman who sat up at the front, about half way through the conversation the driver said something to the tune of

"the thing i hate the most is these damn old people getting on with their free passes and then getting off a few minutes down the road"

everyone on the bus nearly pissed themselves laughing

Loopy · 21-06-2008 09:06PM

Was a guy sitting behind me who said 'think I'm gonna be sick'.

HE WAS... all over the back of my head :eek:

magick · 21-06-2008 09:17PM

not something i over heard but i shall tell u a tale !

My friend was coming back home after a good ole night on the town. Now the bus was on a fairly bumpy road , swaying from side to side.

He was very badly hungover, a poor student was alseep beside him, when the bus went over one bump too many, he unzipped his coat and got sick into the inside of it and the zipped it back up.

As you can imagine the student when she awoke was horrifed at the smell but could not pinpoint the point of origin, that was until my friend got off the bus and "chunks" started dropping from his coat:D

Sloppy sucky noises. I have a car now.

Ninja_scrotum · 21-06-2008 09:58PM

a really brilliant massive old man fart on the bus from clonmel to thurles.

seahorse · 21-06-2008 10:49PM

The strangest thing I ever heard on a bus was the sounds coming out of some dirty oul bastard while he was whacking one out sitting beside me!!! :eek: I knocked the shyte out of him. It was a crazy scene.

Gone West · 22-06-2008 12:15AM

I didn't hear this myself, but a friend told me:

There was three middle aged southern USA women on the bus, trying to make sense of a map on the 25a, they were looking for some museum or whatever. One pointed to the gang at the back and said, "lets ask those athletes over there where our stop is".

I laughed

seahorse · 22-06-2008 12:22AM

Lol Fuzzylogic; that reminds me of the time me and my sister met a lovely French girl with a real innocent demeanour in a pub and got chatting. She explained that she'd just arrived from home, was here to spend a year learning English and was staying in tallaght. She confusedly enquired of her new home: "why everybody is wearing the sports clothing"?

guy2454 · 22-06-2008 01:12AM

on the bus in waterford back in my student days. 3 aul boys sittin in the seats across from me and a friend. Bus stopped at the next stop and two aul ones got on. Next thing one of the aul boys says "hey,theres a seat here next to me", to which one of the "ladies" replies, "no i will not you'll only try and drop the hand!".the poor man didnt know where to look.needless to say myself and my friend burst out laughin.

Fringe · 22-06-2008 01:29AM

Some guy's phone rang and it played the boring Nokia theme. However halfway through, it went all out of tune and we found it so funny and started laughing.

Demeyes · 23-06-2008 01:41PM

I heard 2 guys talking about the weirdest places they had fallen asleep. Some of it was just not right. Upside on a set of stairs/Broke into his old house by mistake etc.
Also I've seen an old man take a piss on a bus. He seemed drunk and kind of half asleep and after a while started to urinate. No one said a word but loads of people had to have noticed.

Not weird but divertingly amusing. Was on the nitelink home a couple of weeks ago. By the time we got to Ballymun there was only two passengers left on the bus, me and a guy who was asleep. Bus driver asked me to wake yer man up to see where his stop was, I got up and he looked a bit rough but said sure why not and after a good bit of pushing woke him. I asked him where his stop was and he sat up looked around and said next stop. So anyway we went to next stop and had to wake your man up and he said next stop again. So bus driver asks where he's going, yer man says next stop and this goes on for a while til your man eventually says Leixlip! When I told him he was in Ballymun I've never seen anybody become so alert so fast in my life! Bus driver dropped me off outside my estate as a favour for waking the guy and then drove yer man back into town. Poor guy was facing another hour and a half at least before he got home.

Ebonyellie · 23-06-2008 01:57PM

I said the most stupid thing on a bus, i cringe just thinking about it - a few years ago i was sitting up at the top of the bus beside a guy who was friends with my then boyfriend, before the bus departed a lady with a birdcage got on, walked halfway down the bus and sat with the cage on her knee. There were two tiny birds in the cage but they made big big annoying noises, anyway a few miles down the road, in typical N3 fashion we were standing still in traffic, the guy i wa sitting beside turned to me and said " i hate tailbacks, they get on your nerves" to which i replied " tell me about it, they never shut up since she brought them on the bus " a few people heard and the driver pissed himself

antodeco · 23-06-2008 01:58PM

These two american folk asking the bus driver where "In Chickery" was. Bus driver looking very bemused didnt have a clue what they were talking about. The americans showed him the name on the map and said "Ahhh, Inchicore!?"

Another time this oul one and another chap were having a conversation. Going past the four seasons hotel.

Old Woman: "Thats a nice hotel"
Guy: "Yeah it is"
Old Woman: "Its the four seasons, isint it?"
Guy: "Yeah, but with the irish weather, its being called the "One Season!!"
Old Woman: "Ah no, thats a shame, i much prefer the four seasons".

Cue half the bus cracking up.

That one might be an urban myth as I've heard the same story from a load of people ... but it always started off with, "I didnt hear it, but a friend told me..."

Best one I ever heard was while going into work one Winter morning on the 16. Was a typicial dark, cold, miserable morning and there was a load of primary/1st year secondary school kids on the bus shouting and roaring. With that, a girl who looked no more than 16 let a roar at them ... "for fook sake will yiz all shut up, some of the poor fookers on da bus are trying to get a bit of kip before going to work"
And to be fair, they all shut up and I dozed off again for a bit

Another time, a mate from college had just moved up to Dublin for work and was kipping in my house until he got a place sorted. He was coming home from town one evening but wasnt over familiar with Dublin so hopped on the bus and asked the driver "How much is it" ... Driver asked "Where are you going" ... and without thinking, my mate replied .."Home!"

Not on a bus sorry, but in one of the burger joints on O'Connell St a good few years ago... Overheard two women, the wife and the other woman as it turned out, trying to come to agreement over who could see the man and when etc. "But I'm his wife..", "But he loves me.." "But the kids.."

Pen1987 · 23-06-2008 02:30PM

Leaving college from BCFE in Ballyfermot village, there was a load of us students jumping onto the 76A to head back towards town. A few of the drame/theatre/performance girls are very well healed, always have a face full of make-up and very stylistly dressed. We got on the bus and went upstairs where there was these two junkies sitting down the back about three rows from us... one of the junkies goes to the other "will ye luk ah' deez moths... the amount a fake tan... If it rained on dem dah place wud be like a river a' grayvee!" I was in tears laughing none of the girls knew where to look!

Skangerette 1 "I swear he was fcukin me tha hard i thought me gee was gonna fall off"

Skangerette 2 "Ye but itz a deadly buzz it makes the bloke yer ridin cum dead quick!!"

:rolleyes:

The driver had the radio on and thought id be fun to play the song "Ring my bell" by Anita Ward over the tannoy.... i laughed and pressed the bell

jester77 · 23-06-2008 03:16PM

You got to love the bus drivers. I was getting a bus into town and it was pissing rain, no bus shelter. Next bus was at 5:20 so I timed to avoid as much rain as possible. No bus shows, next bus was due at 5:50, no show. 6:10 an unscheduled bus shows and I'm soaked to the bone.

Me: "So what bus are you meant to be, the 20 past or the 10 to?"
Driver with smug grin: "I'm the in between bus"

What's the strangest thing you've heard on a bus?
