    I was once sitting downstairs at the back of the 128 on the way into college when out of nowhere this old man comes tumbling down the stairs with his walking cane. :pac:

    I can laugh about it now, right?

    I was in a bus once and the driver had a paper on the wheel and was reading it while he was driving. I got off at the next stop. Also I was in a bus when it hit a bird. It hit just below the windscreen so pretty much seen it happen. The thud was really loud from it as well.

    The strangest thing Ive seen was a drunk or stoned fella getting on the bus.Half an hour into the journey the bus driver stops the bus walks down to where the drunk fella was and roars at him to get off the bus.
    I never found out what he was thrown off for.I was seated near enough too.

    In the gaeltacht a few summers back we got picked up a bus driver who was supposed to take us to the school, instead he drove up to the cliff's edge and pretended he was going insane, thinking it was hilarious, I nearly wet myself!

    Was on a bus once when these group of skanks got on. One started roaring about needing to go for a piss. Apart from the skangers there was me and two other people upstairs, all up the front, infront of the stairs.

    So all this is going on behind us, right? And obviously nobody wants to turn around to see whats going on.

    The first skank asks her friends to get off the bus with her cause she doesn't want to "piss in a bush on me own" The other 2 cleverly reminded her, sure why get off, piss right here.

    This was 4pm in the afternoon by the way!! :eek::eek:

    So off she goes, and has a piss.

    Thats not the worst part. When she had finished, she ran to the top of the bus, in front of the three of us (other passengers), starts looking down at the ground, and laughs just before shouting, "Look girls, me piss is travelling down the bus"

    I was sick

    A girl (who's in my year but I didn't advertise that :P) having a complete rant at the driver because he wouldn't let her on with chips.. she was getting old women to agree with her. After 5 minutes fighting, she got off screaming and kicked the bus as it drove off.

    Lard arse

    The lady in front of me sneezed on the head of the bald lad infront of her. He turned around with a disgusted look on his face and she apologised. She then turned around and winked and smiled at me. She was also reading Harry Potter and a book on mental health simultaneously.

    I used to be a Dublin Bus driver many moons ago,i was driving the 39 bus to clonsilla,started on the quays at the time ,bus was packed to the gills

    So im sitting there stuck in rush hour evening traffic, and i can hear in the backround the passengers getting a bit frustrated and annoyed about something, but i was kind of daydreaming to myself whilst stuck in the traffic going nowhere fast

    Anyway this frail old lady comes up to me and taps on the security screen and says "Excuse me son,are ye not going to use the Bus lane??"

    I wasnt long in the job and didnt last too long either

    Me and my mate sat up stairs on a bus which was empty except for only guy who must have had Tourette's syndrome by the way he kept swearing profusely to himself for the entire journey. We were shocked at first, but it was hard to keep a straight face after a few minutes.

    was on a bus eireann bus, some indian guy (well i think he was indian) got on and sat beside me. He took out his phone and turned on what i can only describe as a bad Indian attempt at rap and played it full blast for the whole bus to hear, and then had the cheek ta go asleep and leave us listen to it. I was so happy that i was gettin off at the next stop

    I've posted this before, but sure I'll post it again:
    On the bus out of Galway I was sitting on the left aisle, as a drunk aged about 70 sat a few seats ahead of me on the right aisle.

    As he was sitting down I glanced momentarily in his direction, when he saw me he blew a kiss at me.

    I quickly, and wrongly, assumed that he was trying to start a fight and through my peripheral vision I noticed that he was waving his hand around in a subtle manner in an attempt to get my attention. To avoid any hassle I decided not to look at him in case he might be angry at me for some reason.

    This went on for a further ten minutes, during which I bit my nails to look busy.

    Eventually, I accidently looked at his waving hand at which point I acted surprised and made eye-contact with him. He then gives me a lecture as to why I shouldn't bite my nails. His two major points were that I would develop skin cancer and that I was "too pretty to die." It was then that I realised that he wasn't starting a fight with me, he just thought I was a woman and was coming on to me. Heavily.

    He continued to talk to me, peppering his conversation with "darlings," telling me that I was lovely and blew me more kisses when there was a lull in the conversation.

    He then asked me what music I liked to listen to, specifically asking if I like country and western. "Kenny Rogers?" “Dolly Parton?” “Johnny Cash?” “Big Tom?” “Margo?” When I said no to all of these, he agreed and told me that I have far too much class to like that kind of music anyway. He asked me again what I like, so I told him The Beatles.

    He then went on a long rant about how great the Beatles were and that I have great taste in music as I stood up to get off. Finally, he shook my hand as I got off the bus telling me that he will give me his number the next time he sees me and winked at me.

    The weird thing is, I've actually had to sit next to him before on the bus. He's usually quite lecherous towards the other any girls on the bus. This was the first time he thought I was a girl though.

    On the nightlink coming home top front of the bus, with two mates. Turn around the 2 eastern europeans and a girl there. The i notice one the cockbags has an army knife on his knee pointing right at me and eyeballing me. Thought i was gona die that night!. Kept taking it in and out of his combats. Swiftly got off when close to where i lived when a gang of ppl got off. Intimadating stuff, wish i had a big **** off gun to whip out, whipe the smile off the scumbags face.

    My mate was on a bus one day and a dwarf got on. I think the bus driver charged him a kids fare, he was going mental. Wouldnt shut up for the journey moaning, as he was getting off some guy shouted 'hey grumpy, tell snow white i said hello' or something to that effect :)

    I was on a bus once that apparently was going to blow up if it went under 50 miles an hour...
    Some bird was driving it too...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭sells


    oh yeah, i was on a bus one day standing at the front, then this old woman and her grand daughter went to get off the buss, so anyways the bus driver stoped, he must off been on his period this week aswell, but when he stopped, the grand daughter went out first then the old woman walkin slowly. The driver opened the doors, then as soon as the woman got to the door, half way out, the bus driver closed them again and they closed on her neck!!! The driver opened them a second later to wich the old woman turned around and gave him the most evil stare like to say"Im gonna kick the f*uck out of you, you prick" that stare lasted for 5 seconds, then the driver said in a smug voice ............"yes???" like he did nothing wrong....everybody thought that her head had been cut off! That made me angry but also laugh at the same time.
