Sadly, this wasn’t on my bus

But, it is one of our RHD double-deckers, so not a video from abroad, as so many of the best seem to be.

All I get on my buses seem to people I want to get away from.

Seriously, yesterday an otherwise nice guy got on, but his voice appeared to have only one volume setting, around 120 dBA – and he loved a poor wee dug a woman was taking to the park. It must have been stone-deaf by the time she reached her stop.

Last week, our (lady) bus driver stopped in Trongate and threw and old (looking) woman off the bus – the problem wasn’t obvious until we saw her fall about, and the can of lighter fuel she’d been inhaling.

Intriguingly, I see her sitting around the same place in Trongate, very recognisable as she has a mass of black hair, still shoving a can of lighter fuel into her face, almost hidden by all the hair.

Then there was girl who spent half an hour shouting into the back of my head as she babbled monotonously into her mobile phone – fortunately I resisted the urge to do anything as she kept mentioning “visiting her mum in prison in Falkirk“. That would be Polmont Young Offenders Institution, which took the women formerly held in Cornton Vale a couple of years ago.

Haven’t seen anyone manage this on a bus I’ve been on, although there are many nodding heads – I’m just impressed by how they always seem to wake up just before their stop.

Smart phones aren’t ALL bad 🙂
