An incident on the bus today (which you'll find first below) inspired me to draw together a list of a few intriguing bus-relate moments that have taken place in the coming few weeks (as originally shared on Twitter).
- Pressing the bell immediately after someone sneezed on the bus made it sound like they were using a spittoon.
- ON A BUS FULL OF CHILDREN TALKING LIKE THIS.
- When three people on the bus pressed the bell at exactly the same time today, I expected us to be thrown into another dimension.
- When I pressed the bell on the bus today, only the last four letters of the 'STOPPING' sign lit up to spell 'PING'.
- I'm all for happy accidents.
- There's a man on the bus sniffing like he wants to inhale the whole planet.
- Overheard Luton Bus Conversation of the Morning:
- MAN: "Gravestones are expensive, in't they?"
- WOMAN: "I don't want a grave though; I'm going to be burnt".
- Man on bus, talking loudly & confidently on mobile so we're all party to it: your conversation can't be that important; your phone is PINK.
- I'd like to introduce a blanket ban on people staring at you when you're checking the timetable at a bus stop.
- The on-board poster asking 'Do You Want to Drive this Bus?' was a bit last-minute.
- I once saw a kid on the bus on his way home from school, working his way through a whole packet of Pink Wafers - savouring each one - and then washing them down with a family-sized bottle of Coke.
- That's how I feel after watching #Eurovision tonight.
- Word on the street at Stevenage Bus Station: "...and there were kids everywhere, all dressed up as Halloween..."
- Made a grave error by travelling home on the school bus. 48000 children and me; it's like the monkey enclosure at Woburn Safari Park, except the monkeys have stormed the vehicle.
- A game to play when you're on the bus on your own (as I am at the moment) is to pretend you're in a massive, many-seated stretch limo.
- Man on the bus with a sneeze that sounds like a police radio.
- There's a man on the bus, with 'Awesome Dad Since 2007' written on his t-shirt. I hope his kids are eight.
- Waiting for a bus at Walsworth Crossroads. No blues guitarist. No Devil.
- The chavs on the bus go round and round, ALL DAY LONG.
