The 12 Types Of People You Meet On The Bus
The bus....the one true place where everyone's pet peeves come alive. You have no doubt yourself pissed off someone with one of your quirks over the years only you probably don't know what exactly your quirk is that annoys people. Well we thought we'd help you out, here's the definitive guide to those know collectively as....
1. The hot girl/guy
Let's start in a good place because it's only going to get worse from here. You always seem find a hot girl or guy to swoon over on the bus.....in reality, they're not even aware of you...
2. The music too loud in earphones person...
A massive pet peeve of mine. It's usually something insanely shit too....like smiley virus or that Bieber kid. How are these people's ears not bleeding...
3. Annoying teenagers who have recently hit puberty and so naturally feel like the whole world needs to know that they hate everyone.
"Hi I'm a teenager...could I be anymore annoying....."
4. The one who sits beside you when there are loads of free seats...
Why oh why....half the bus is empty and you want to sit beside me...no words can describe how pissed off this scenario makes me...
5. The messy eater
That bang of popcorn that goes up your nose when someone cracks open a bag just shouldn't be experienced in a small restricted place such as the bus....this is not a cinema. Sandwiches also may smell lovely in your mothers house but that hum of meat in a bus is just wrong....also, stop eating like you were born in a field...
6. The feet on the seat person..
I actually don't have a problem with this at all. Obviously if the bus is full I wouldn't dream of it but if the bus is quiet I'm going to put my feet up and relax...I'm sorry but that's just the way it is. I don't cause any damage to anything and I have a comfortable journey, the way some people bang on about it you'd swear people should should be sent to the gallows for it...
7. The drunk/wino
Can be a funny sight, generally spotted on the night link but sometimes you can get a bonus one during daylight.
8. The person doing her (maybe his) make up..
Annoys some people...not me. Hilarity may ensue when travelling over speed bumps though....
9. The talking insanely loud on the phone one..
Here's an idea...I don't give a shit about your conversation. People can talk on the bus at low levels...amazingly I have actually managed to do this myself so I know it's not bs. So please take it down to around a 2 and stop annoying everyone...
10. The shrieking kid...
Touchy subject....all I know is I've seen enough parents absolutely leather their kids on the bus for doing next to nothing, it really is quite disturbing. Generally what happens is the kid does something that warrants the parent asking them to stop. However in these cases the parent, instead of talking to the child, resorts to physical retaliation that wouldn't be out of place in Ultimate Mortal Kombat ensuring a shrieking teary experience for all passengers.
11. The one who smells like $h!T..
How can people not know when they smell this bad? Please use some deodrant, lynx, aftershave, perfume... we should be allowed mace someone who smells this bad..
12. They lovey dovey couple who make everyone else feel sick with their tongues down each others throats...
We get it, your relationship is blossoming in its early stages and you can't keep your hands off each other.....in my mind however I am beating you both with snooker balls in socks...you disgust me...
