    People pissing and taking a dump.

    A car crashing into the bus.

    My gf was on a 45a that a few seats got thrown through the upstaris window. Driver threw scumbags off, picked seat off the road, used it block off stairs and continued on his way

    In London on a school trip we got on a bus into the city and finished singing 99 bottles of beer.. despite the teachers telling us to stop(all but one who joined in).
    I've sat beside people who just talk to themselves very loudly and curse at everything around them.
    I've also seen some people lose their balance and fall on others.
    On the way to croke park on a dublin match day my dad started singing dublin songs and everyone joined in!

    I've had many strange experiences on the bus, the most recent one was a few weeks ago, around the time that U2 were playing Croke Park. I was getting the bus back from town (that's Dublin town, for the culchies :p) and as we were passing the Clarence Hotel, a seemingly ordinary-looking guy in a suit, who looked like he was just coming home from work, opened the window and shouted out "PAY YOUR FCUKING TAXES, BONO!", and then sat down with a big smile on his face, and ate a Cornetto.

    It was so random.

    Mates of mine saw a Heroin addict shooting up.

    Seen that a few times too beside me...

    Upstairs seats thrown out the top windows but an old lady being hauled up by her armpits onto one of the older buses in Drimnagh is my personal best..

    78A ftw:cool:

    Was on the way home one evening with the local bus driver who wasn't afraid of using the accelerator. A tourist broke a red light in front of him and bus couldn't stop. A right off.

    Try explaining that to the rental company yank...

    I didn't know Degsy likes Cornettos.

    I was actually thinking, "I wonder if it's Degsy!" :p

    But I've seen Degsy's pic in the Know Your Nerds thread, and no, it didn't look anything like him.

    Another 45a story.

    Gf got on bus down at Ballybrack roundabout going towords DL. Gave me a ring to come out for the bus, I'm halfway along churchview rd.

    Driver turns right instead of left coming onto Church road at St Mathais church. She point this out to him, he apologises saying he was thinking about the Graduate (pub) at the time and headed toward it without realising. Anyway he turns down churchview heading back Bray direction, picks me up and three point turns at Tesco heading back in the right direction.:)

    (Probably won't make sense to people not familiar with the area)

    On the Number 8 in Cork, a man came on the bus but had no money. So he started asking everybody on the bus already for some money :pac:

    A young man gave him some money.

    That is brilliant. I wonder if he was saving the cornetto as a reward for abusing Bono.

    Seen a lad on a bus having a full blown conversation on his mobile when all of a sudden the mobile rings. The wierdo was having an imaginary conversation before the phone rings for real.

    Have a couple more but they were on Trains.

    On the train to Westport one friday and the train is packed to the rafters. I was down the very back and i think one of the only seats left on the train was next to me. Anyways we are waiting to pull out of Heuston Station when a blind chap is escorted down the platform onto the train by an irish rail worker. He was the last person on. Seeing as the only seat left is next to me, he sits down and the train pulls off. About 20 mins later his phone rings and he is yapping away to whoever was on the other end. I wasnt really paying attention until he says down the phone "Yea John gave me a lift to the train station but when I got to the ticket booth and asked for a ticket to Westport, the fella told me I was at Connolly Station and not Heuston. I had to get a taxi down the queys and only just made it." He then started cursing his mate John and how he should have never accepted the lift off him. Thought it was hillarious. I tried really hard not to burst out laughing.

    My other train story was again involving a blind person. Ive absolutly nothing against the blind by the way, but this type of thing doesnt happen on a train every day and tends to stick in your mind. Anyway it was the Drogheda - Dublin train and i was dozing in the seat. I was eventually woken by a horrendus smell. It was then i realised that there was a blind woman a few rows ahead of me and she had laid out sheets of newspaper on the aisle floor for her guide dog to go to the toilet, and by god was he going - shyte everywhere and it was running like a river. So anyways she lets the dog finish and then sets about picking up the newspaper after him. She had a suit jacket on her and by the time she picked the paper up, both sleeves had gone into the shyte i dont know how many times. I dont think ive ever smelt anything so bad, I felt sorry for the woman naturally but all i could do was get up and leave.

    I get the worst bus ever. There's one chick, bit off, talks to herself. Heard her talking about electrodes in her brain, how people who murder people should kill themselves and their family, once shouted that she wanted to hang some one from their **** on a skewer.

    Then there was the time the gardaí were called to my bus. This 70 something year old fella had been cursing at everyone since he got on, bus driver then wrestled him off the bus, and he was put in the squad car.
    Few weeks earlier he had spat on another passenger for zero reason. Threatened to fight him, threatened to fight some kid in the back seat, mooned the bus before getting off.

    The old man who comes on to younger girls, his chat up line is "you no need no paint no polish", then gets up to move seats and pukes on himself.

    I once saw a pregnant woman punch an american tourist in the face for asking her not to smoke on the 15 bus in Dublin.

    A few years ago getting the bus home after school. Bus was packed and it was pissing rain, an ould lad who was always on the bus in the evening was sitting in his usual seat behind the driver, 20 mins into the journey and its the lads stop. The bus stops but the old lad doesn't get out of his seat to get off. The bus driver turns around to see what the story is, your man is asleep. Driver shakes him to wake him up, nothing. Poor lad passed away during the trip!!!!

    Getting the bus back from Galway. Two guys convinced a woman they'd seen singing in a pub the night before to sing a few songs to pass the time.

    Before long the two guys and the girl were entertaining the bus. After about 30mins of songs, the bus driver pulled over on the side of the road and marched down to the two guys and girl. He told them to, 'shut the hell up or they could get off the bus right now!!'.

    He got boo-ed by the passengers as he walked back to the drivers seat.:D

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Been on the 7 a couple of time and this teenager with down-syndrome on it also. He tries to chat up every girl who sits near him. Kinda funny but feel sorry for those people, trying to be nice to him but most of the time wishing the could just ignore him.

    Maybe he's going to meet a Mrs Robinson type some day with a fetish for Down Syndrome sufferers and she'll take him home and ride the baloney pony all the way to me-hico.

    But I know what you mean about feeling sorry for the people - personally, i wouln't think it wrong if one of the girls said "Fcuk off corky you dirty perv"

    A perv with downs is still a perv i reckon.

    Got the bus in Cairo once and a large amount of the floor was missing. People just stood around the edge of the hole looking at the ground like there was nothing strange about it.
