i know i just posted a few photos from bus adventures (zombie edition) recently, but i’d like to recap a few favorites captured from the 6 months i’ve ridden this year. everyone posts lists of their favorite things of 2010, and instead i’ll share a gallery of strangers that made bus trips a little more enjoyable…er interesting.
most of the funniest/awkward things happen without me creepily taking a picture. examples include but are not limited to: public haircuts, beatboxing, fights, loud phone conversations, and (nsf)anywhere attire.
my favorite (crazy asshole) award goes to this lady pictured below. it was a cold winter day, i was waiting for the bus on the southbound side of N. lamar, in front of the new crestwood station. she was crossing, pushing that shopping cart while oncoming traffic honked and swerved. she approached me with an angry stare, suddenly gathered all the spit she could muster and fired away, shooting her lovely dna at me. luckily it only hit my shoe and medical attention was not necessary. we both stood at the stop for the next 20 minutes silently. i quickly realized once we both boarded the bus that she was clearly deaf, and extremely hateful. she informed all riders that they smelled terrible, at least she can smell.
