Most annoying type of bus passengers.

Post Reply New Topic

I figured since we have one for airplane passengers I figured I'd make one for bus passengers. I commute by bus a lot and I believe in bus etiquette and I have certain annoyances.

-senior citizens who push through the line because they feel like they have the right to board first, I would of let you board anyway but you don't have to push
-people who insist on being first in line and they pay with big money like bills or a lot of coins (let people with bus passes on first, it makes the line go faster and other people don't have to wait outside freezing in the winter while you figure out how much money you have)
-people who don't stand up and let senior citizens or people with disabilities sit in the front priority seating
-teenagers who insist on being really loud and obnoxious on the bus by talking in loud voices, swearing, laughing and saying rude things
-people who put their bag beside them when there's already not enough room for others to sit down...I can see if you have 4 bags but if you only have one bag then you can put it on your lap
-when the bus is over-crowded and people who push to get the free seat even though you've been on the bus longer than them
-when somebody with nothing on their back or isn't carrying anything insists on sitting in a free seat when other people carrying heavy things are standing up
-when you're just about to sit in a free seat but a girl behind you raises her voice and asks if she can sit there to the person leaving before you can sit down
-people who drink on the bus
-creepy people who sit beside you and wont leave you alone
-people who smoke in the bus shelter
-people who smash the bus shelter, especially in the winter
-people who talk to the bus driver or keep asking questions which delays departure (it's okay to ask questions but not when it's taking more than 10 minutes)
-people who eat something that smells strong like salad with salad dressing or McDonald's, etc.
-letting your children run around and scream

Anyway, I could go on and on but these are just some examples.

-people who sit in the aisle seat, and then only turn themselves to let another passenger in or out from the window seat, rather than standing up.

People who put their feet up on the seats
People who play loud music on their phones
People who make fun of people in the street as they go past
People who sit next to people with mental retardation and ask them rude questions, like, 'do you know what a blowjob is?'
People who smell
People who beg for money on the bus
People who are clearly over 16 insisting they pay child fare

- The people that leave graffiti

I hate getting on a bus, sitting down in an already uncomfortable seat (if I'm lucky) and having to stare at "Thugz-4-Life" for 30 minutes. Yeah, I could look at the window and try to but with aspergers, if something stands out and shouldn't be there, it's VERY difficult to ignore.

Oh... and...


- When it's raining and some "genius" thought that it was a good idea to leave his soaking wet umbrella on one of the seats.

Some NT people say that Aspies don't have any common sense but I think that the comment is only relative to the person making it. We have our own common sense regardless of if other people have the capacity to always completely understand it.
"Which of these words don't belong with the others?... Chair, seat cushion, butt, UMBRELLA..." lol

How true!

The type that always comes to sit next to me (smelly, weird, fat, hideous and arrogant as hell).

Yes it's only one type who does that all the time, normal people seem to avoid me.

People who yap non-stop on their cell phones.

People who sit beside you in the aisle seat,pull down the tray,put a cup of coffee on the tray,then read a newspaper while spreading it out into your personal space,then put on headphones so that when you have to ask them to let you out (because they're inevitably travelling to the terminal) they can't hear you at first then they have to carefully lift their hot coffee and everything else out of the way while they let you squeeze past them and their still turned-down tray.

People who keep asking you for directions at the bus stop
and won't leave you alone.

Old folks who bring their push carts on the bus.
{Do they not know that those things don't belong on a bus?}

Petitioners who keep asking people to sign a petition.
{These types annoy the crap out of me.}

People who abuse their children, physically or verbally.
People who sit in the back, making ignorant noises.
Young guys who whistle at the women on the sidewalks.
Punks who pick on people with disabilities.
Valley Girls who sit behind me and pepper their sentences with words, such as like like and totally.
Wife beaters.

People making out on the bus right in front of your nose.

Noisy gum chewers sitting right behind me.

People who f*****g fart on the bus.

I also hate it if you're on the GO bus or a greyhound type of bus and the person sitting in front of you puts their seat down so you have hardly any leg room.

My dad was on a train when he was 17 and he was sitting in a seat beside two hippies who were making out for two days in a row. He went to complain to the driver on the third day, and the driver said he couldn't do anything about it. They had as much right to be on the train as everyone else and they could do whatever they wish, as long as they weren't hurting anybody.

People with dogs that come and sit next to you. Now that's even a bigger nightmare, since I have a dog phobia. Even worse when they bark at you all the damn time and I'm extremely jumpy by nature.

The most annoying passenger I saw was the one who tried to stop the bus when it wasn't at a stop, then urinated all over the floor in the back.
'
I should mention that the buses in my area have grooves in the floor running from front to back, so the design was optimized for the spread of urine throughout the vehicle.

Rather pitiful than annoying, unless it was his intention to literally stop the bus and do the pee in pants act out of attention.
