    Ah sure we all see them when we get on! Whether it's Anto, Johnny Eyeball and the rest of de boyz down the back blairing their tunez out on their phones or people taking up a whole seat by themselves, someone will make our journey just that little bit more gick.

    Any particular sorts that get on your nerves?

    FTW! I cant stand any ****er who plays their music loud on the bus. It was worse in London, nothing like Garage or Jungle music that pisses me off.

    I hate those inconsiderate arseholes who insist on sitting down beside me. Don't they know that the seat next to me is for my feet/bag! Some people:rolleyes:

    Ah, The Citizen, our very own Dark Knight. I feel safe knowing he is out protecting the innocent masses from evil scumbags. I have no problem on buses, primarily becuase I exclusively ride on the heavenly 84x. Sometimes there are a few annoying UCD Abercrombie asspots on it but I have my headphones to sort that out.

    They have to be under 10 years old though.

    Those who hop on with a massive schoolbag on the back with no consideration to those behind or around them. Take the bag off your back you cunt!

    A message to the guy who was sneezing on my back on the 74 this morning:

    Cover your mouth
    NO! it does not take 18 years of college to become a doctor.
    That guy in your class that's 27, isn't mad old and it's not too late to become a doctor for him
    And pass a message onto that girl you talk to every morning for me, stop laughing. I can hear it even with my mp3 player at full volume.

    Oh, and....
    That prick that took my seat when I stood up to give it* to an elderly lady (*by 'it' I mean the seat, not actually 'give it to her')
    And, people who sit beside me on a full bus, and, when the bus empties, stay sitting beside me.


    I hope you all burn in hell ('you' being the people mentioned above, not the folk of AH, you guys are allllllright)

    The ones that pull their seat all the way back in front of you also gets on my nerves. No f*cking consideration for other people

    Did that myself, I dont know how people can tolerate being on the bus year after year. You usually have to wait, face ignorant people, bus breaking down, drenched waiting for a drive home, planning your whole day around getting the bus to here and there.

    I'm almost 18 and I still get away with the child fare so it's grand!

    Humph,

    I thought the thread was about the striking drivers...perplexing!

    God. Where's Brendan Grace's character in Fr. Ted when you need him.

    People who fart on the bus and sit there all innocent looking or worse yet, glare at an innocent bystander in an effort to divert the blame from themselves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭TeletextPear

    One bus journey in particular comes to mind. I wrote about it here, entitled Dublin Bus : The Video Game http://sidewaysquizlings.blogspot.com/2008/01/dublin-bus-video-game.html

    There was also this incident, which I found funny

    On the classic 44C route I've encountered:
    - Copious amounts of vomitting
    - Scummers smoking (both the regular and wacky tabacky)
    - Fights
    - Some skanger trying on the runners he'd nicked (they were like boats on his feet)
    - Guys shooting up heroin
    - A couple having sex (and no, not the nightlink, this was around 4pm)

    Now thanks to the Luas and owning a car I miss out on all the scandal.

    Best thing I've ever seen with regards to these "my bag needs to sit next to me" people. On the 16, bus was jammed as usual, a large man walks up the stairs and asks an Asian chap could he move his bag so he could sit down, and the Asian lad said no his bag was there, so the large lad gets the back and throws it down the stairs and sitting down casually, was gas at the time.

    I would of picked up the Asian an thrown him, there so small - you could prob fit a full one in the bag, you might need to chop him up a bit - itd be a rayte good trophy

    The worst experience I had was on a packed bus,and traffic was bad,it was a good hour and abit journey,down the back this Nigerian woman roaring at the top of her voice down her phone,and it was loud like someone shouting at the top of thier lungs,you could see everyone on bus was really irritated,but of course said nothing,my phone rang and it was my girlfriend and it was important but I could not hear her,she kept having to repeat herself,but I couldnt hear over this ignorant yoke roaring like an animal,I just lost and at the top my voice shouted 'SHUT UP THE ****'.she froze and looked at me in horror,and everyone on the bus laughing,afew mins later the volume rose again,and people on the bus had enough and everyone had a go at her,she sat there silent,with a big digusted look on her face the whole journey,people power

    This Irish sequel to Snakes on a Plane will be shown as the surprise film in the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.

    It stars Colm Meaney and Colin Farrell as an intellectually challenged father and son team who attempt to make it in the cut-throat world of bus driving. Hilarity ensues when Colin falls for the new Latvian driver on a competitor's route.

    Luckily my hatred for all forms of public transport means I never have to deal with people on buses! Cars ftw!!
