God, I realized today that this is because some of the train cars have toilets in them. For some reason, the fans from the toilet are connected to the air system for the rest of the car. I do think it's the same person stinking it up however and goddamn I just can't imagine what they eat everyday for their guts to be so rotten.

last week, waiting for a 286 to take me to cricket practice, there was an enormously obese man waiting for a bus with his fairly attractive girlfriend and a couple of suitcases. as he waited for the bus he kept leaning on his suitcase and doing some sort of ego-affirming dance. he was wearing massive red pyjama bottoms (or cargo pants or whatever huge ppl wear) and of course he was wearing that 6-piece baseball cap thing that most obese people who idealise themselves as being street seem to tote. then the bus came and i got on. sat at the back. he got on. his girlfriend scanned her oyster card. he started ostentatiously fishing around in his pockets. he did not have a card. he looked for some money. he did not have money. he had to get his girlfriend to find two quid. by the time he'd paid, about 2 or 3 minutes had elapsed. the bus set off. then we approached my stop. at a quiet moment, halted at traffic lights, i pressed the bus-stopping button. about ten seconds later, he pressed it as well. for me, this is a black mark against any character. dude just couldn't give a fuck about the world around him. anyway we stopped, and i got off. as i got off i noticed this dude begin to harangue the driver about something. i walked into the university site where the sports hall was, turning round on occasion. the bus was still stationary. it took two minutes for the argument to be resolved, and the bus to pull away, by which time i could barely see it. that guy gets 1/10.

6-piece baseball cap thing
?
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 14:51 (fourteen years ago) link
it might just be a standard baseball cap, but it's got the flat front brim and the six triangular pieces of leather curved up to meet at a button on top - the cap is not hemispherical but choad-shaped - it tend to attenuate their massy head girth. by 'obese people' i mean 'obese men', really.

Dudes who got on the front of the N21 absolutely bladdered, one stumbling to the top of the stairs, then another one proceeding to write the words 'FUCK OFF' in the condensation, draw a picture of a penis, and then sign his work (with an underline), then jump on his two friends sitting in the seats across the aisle and submerge them in a mock-fistfight, pretending to stab and batter them, all while calling the two women already sitting behind them 'good guys' and promising to beat his friend up if he touched them, 9/10 for entertaining and mildly terrifying me

Also on the 12, there was a guy who started screaming at the driver to hurry up and drive, even though the bus had visibly just run somebody over. At the next stop after the bus had moved on, he screamed at the driver not to stop for a woman with a pushchair who was trying to get on. At the stop after that he got off and sprinted down the road.
Not gonna rate that one tbh.

It seemed to have hit somebody as it went past, she wasn't mangled under the wreckage or anything, but the Police were already there and they spoke to the driver for a bit before he moved on.

sitting behind me on the 414 from Fulham this evening: vile couple in their 50s, at least one of whom was wankered in that slurry umc way. They seemed to utterly despise each other, with him telling her that she'd destroyed every relationship he'd ever had before repeatedly calling her a "stupid fucking bitch".
depressing end to the weekend and I wish my ipod had waited until they'd gone before running out of juice.

FUCK OFF!!!' at the air and switched to yelling in another language: 8/10, for having the ability and the grace to be as courteous as he possibly could.

Seemingly normal looking woman who took the seat next to me on the bus, but then proceeded to practically climb onto my lap such was her keenness to use me as some kind of leaning post, and who had about eight bags with her meaning I had to clamber over them to get off when my stop arrived: 0/10 and I know what you look like so whenever you get on again I will just give you the fucking seat, here, you can have it all to yourself, no really I insist.

The most awesome person who ever sat across or next to me on public transport asked me and my friends what three words in the English Language begin with "dw". We got "dwarf" straightaway and "dwell" not long after but couldn't think of the third, and my friends and I went back to talking amongst ourselves and he went back to doing whatever he was doing before he offered his conundrum. The bus reached its final destination and everyone got off, he started walking in the opposite direction to us but just at that moment I figured it out and called after him "dwindle". Without stopping or looking round he raised his fist in the air and shouted "Dwindle!"
