It really creeps me out when I'm on a bus, and I'm pretty much the only one on the bus, and then some random stranger comes and sits RIGHT NEXT TO ME. And I don't mean they're sitting on a seat thats rather close to mine when theres plenty of room throughout the entire bus, but I mean they come and sit on the seat which is right up against mine.
Like, why?
It's already awkward enough when you're sitting next to some stranger on a crowded bus and everytime the bus turns a corner you accidently touch them with your knee or something and they look at you funny. But when its just you and some stranger hip to hip in an empty bus? Creepy.
A really funny thing happened to me one time when I was on a bus, actually. I was sitting towards the back and this weirdo came and sat about three seats behind me. I was wearing a Sex Pistols: Nevermind The Bollocks shirt, and he obviously saw the writing on the back of the shirt, because he got up from his seat, sat in the one behind me, put his elbows up on the back of the seat I was leaning on and went "Sex Pistols, aye? Sid Vicious he killed that Nancy, he killed her".
Naturally, I turned around with a WTF expression on my face and this man proceded to tell me his ENTIRE life story. Did I ask? No.
I learnt about how he was on his way down to get a kebab because ever since his wife left him and won't let him see his daughter, a kebab on a Saturday morning is the only thing that has kept him sane. "Been doin' it for five years," He said. "Five looong years".
I really don't understand why he kept telling me this, because really, if you were there you would wonder how on earth he could NOT KNOW that I didn't care.
I finally got to my stop, got off the bus and kind of broke into a casual jog to get away from this creep faster, and I look into the bus window, and he's there WAVING AT ME.
Some people, I swear to God.

Ha ha OMG I have to deal with this crap pretty much every day on the train!! It's always the smokers or the homeless who sit next to me, never the normal people!! I can't stand it, ha ha I always make an annoyed face when they go to sit down hoping just once they'll get the hint, hasent worked yet!! BTW-I love reading your posts, I am learning so many cool things about you, and some awesome new words (off to look up kebab(hope I spelled that right)).
