    we all have a story of being on the bus and something happening, 1 of mine, is getting off the bus and being polite I always say 'cheers mate thanks' to which I got the reply, ''its ok I was goin this way anyway'' another time I was on a bus and a guy was sitting at the back on the bottom floor, he proceeded to take off his shoes and socks, and pick all the dead yellow crusty stuff from his toes, I nearly threw up,? Was violently disgusting, well anyways we all have a ''i was on the bus and'' story, so lets hear em, :)

    I was on a bus, and this lad stood up and said he didn't know what a tracker mortgage was.

    I was going to tell him, but I don't know either.

    I was on the bus once and a woman started giving out to the bus driver because she didn't have enough change and that he couldn't accept notes.

    *Never happened.

    Overheard in Dublin must be short of material for the 2010 edition.

    I was on the bus picking the dead, yellow, crusty stuff from my toes and this bleedin dzope nearly got sick on me !

    I got sick on a Bus Eireann bus once after a few too many pints, just before my stop. I stood up and walked to the front of the bus to get off. As the driver braked by the stop, a stream of guinness puke ran up the aisle after me for all to see. Not my proudest moment.

    Another time on a dublin bus a group of 6 or 7 scangers got on the top deck. A few of them started shouting abuse at some student down the back who was wearing a pink scarf. They were shouting at him calling him pinky and a fag*ot and the likes. One of the skangers knew yer man with the scarf though and started shouting at his buddies telling them to shut the fuk up. His buddies didnt like that, so next thing you know theres 7 scumbags beating the schite out of each other on the bus! It was fuking hilarious. The driver copped what was going on and pulled the bus over. Everyone got off except for the scumbags who were still laying into eachother. There was blood and all.

    I was getting on a bus and the driver said he only takes coins, and they give the change back in receipts and I was "like what twit thought up that system?" and he was like "I'm outta here" and I didnt even get on the bus, he sped off up to 50 miles per hour, and jumped the liffey over a gap in o'connell bridge, and headed off towards the airport without slowing down.

    I was on a bus once and it brokeded so the guy comes out and fixes it but tells the driver not to stop again if possible and we had to take a route to college with very few traffic lights and when picking people up we slowed down and let them jump onto the bus...

    I was on a bus once and the driver got shot in a tussle between a police officer and some hoodlum despite the fact the cop wasn't after the charlatan in question. Anyway the cop had to drive the bus over a speed of 50mph otherwise a bomb would explode killing us all. We had some fun and highjinx for about 90mins until the cop finally saved us. Man that was a wild bus journey, think it was on the 27B, my memory aint what it was.

    Anyway the cop looked very familiar, he reminded me of the guy in the Matrix, funny that.....

    It was a warm day and I was on a bus going through rathmines around 4/5pm on my way to tcd student accomadation for a particularly awesome session. The bus was in especially heavy traffic and pulled up to the stop. At the stop there was an exceptionally good looking arty/studenty looking girl wearing a loose top (and as it later transpired no bra) who started bending down to fix something in her bag. From my privileged top-deck position I couldn't help but sneak a peak and to my surprise her breasts were on full display :pac:!

    Yeah, that's about as exciting as my bus stories get. The poor guy in front only started looking when it was too late, and he probably got caught too :pac:. Put me in a good mood for the night though!

    I was on a bus and it was full of people I would have gladly killed.

    On the bus home one day and this nice older french couple were looking a bit lost. They asked the driver finally at one point "is this the right direction for going to x"
    He pulled over at the bus stop, explained to them for a few mins what to do to get to where they wanted, let them off and then off we went again. I thought that was lovely of him. It was on the way out of town in the late evening so I guess nobody was in a real rush anyway

    I was once sitting at the back of the bus, downstairs.

    The bus pulled over to let a Granny on. As I was looking out the window at her boarding, one second she was there, next she disappeared.

    She fell. It was horrible and I'm not proud, but I did laugh a lot :(

    Some things I've unfortunately observed over the years on Dublin bus:
    *on my daily bus ride to the city centre a woman would sit and tweeze the hair off her chin and upper lip

    *was on a bus going through town, a guy gets on, sit down then hops up again wait for the bus to stop at the next stop. While he’s waiting the $hite that he'd just done falls out the bottom of his trousers.
    *a loved up couple fcuking at the back of a night link.
    *a guy wa*king off a few in the seat ahead of me.
    *lots of fights
    *lots of smoking hash
    ...I wonder why I avoid taking the bus, hhhhhuuuuummmm :rolleyes:

    Could have been worse. He could have been in the seat behind you.
