Thank god I have such pleasant experiences on public transit.

Some people just sound like they are constantly getting abused on the TTC.

same. but i don't really have to complain a lot because 80% of the time i get a seat both on the VIVA and the subway. however, i get the odd shove when it's rush hour on the subway when going home but even then i try and avoid it by either trying to make it at an earlier time or take the train southbound to union and get a seat on the train going back northbound.

although when a bad experience does happen, it usually takes place of all the good rides that a person has had. it really sucks that a few idiots can ruin a normal ride to wherever you're going.

this thread makes me want to bite my tongue for all the times I had bad-mouthed Mississauga Transit...it seems riding miss transit is riding in luxury compared to some of these stories.

Taking public transit is like torture for me. I hate having people get in my personal space. Usually I'm okay because I take the YRT at odd hours (1-2PMish), but there's always that ONE weirdo who decides to sit next to me even though THE WHOLE BUS IS EMPTY!!! Like fuck! Do I have a sign on my forehead that says "Invade my space"? "Rub up on me"? Argh!

Other pet peeve is Moms with little kids. Now, I don't mind your average well behaved kid. I don't even mind the screamers that much (SkullCandy ftw) however! The last thing I want on bus trip home after a day of work, is an 8 year old kid coming up to me and asking to see my iPod. Or telling me (not asking!) they want a piece of my gum. Like holy fuck lady, control your fucking kids. That shit is rude! I don't want their dirty ass fingers all over my spotless iPod, and I don't want to share my special sugar-free, whitening gum! I don't even get a "Hi" from them or anything, just "You have gum! Give me gum". Last time I did this, I gave one piece and the kid looked at it and was like "Another one"! Gah!

Oh also, stop fucking talking to the bus driver. He/she is trying to do his/her job and you are hindering that. There's a reason there are signs saying "Stay behind the yellow line" and "Do not talk to driver". It's because your motorassmouth is distracting. They do not want to know what you thought of Transformers, or how your Walmart job is, or that ProActiv is finally working on your ugly pockmarked face. Sit the fuck down, and shut the fuck up.

And please stop that sniveling sound. It's annoying as hell and makes me want to vomit. I hope you never marry or procreate because GOD HELP ME if I ever find myself on the bus with your kids. You are the reason I am saving as much as I can for a car.

haha yes! then they hang around in front of the bus, obstructing the way for the rest of us to either get on or off the bus
honestly! unless your stop is the next one, stop fucking standing in front of the bus! it's even worse when there's 2 idiots doing it from both sides, then you literally have to squeeze by them

LOL
I totally thought of this thread this morning on my way down after I transferred on the way to Mac...

This one lady got on and was fixing her purse or something... not only was she talking to herself but she also looked like the Sens' Daniel Alfredsson LOL ... anyway there were so many empty seats yet she remained standing and fixing whatever she had in her purse even though the bus was speeding along and she kept losing her balance... I swear it was like watching America's Funniest Home videos... you KNOW something is coming.
Sure enough... the bus jerks and she falls onto the lap of some dude who was holding a can of pepsi and he dumps it all over himself and her butt I suppose hahahahahhaa

He was really nice about it and didn't yell at her or anything but she got all huffy.. wtf??? Hamilton crazies....
