I had the thoroughly humiliating experience today of getting on a bus. Can't believe my car broke down.
Everyone must have assumed I can't drive or I was off to college or something. Horrific4 -
I don't think you have any worries given society's modern day bus passenger who insist on keep pressing the bell to stop the bus even though somebody already pressed it and several times over already. Then you have those who like to sit in the aisle seat yet leave the window seat free. Then there are those who think there shopping is entitled to a seat and those who will have a loud personal conversation on the phone. All of these during peak travel times.cafcnick1992 said:I had the thoroughly humiliating experience today of getting on a bus. Can't believe my car broke down.

I think there minds will be more occupied by thoughts of a mouse running inside a wheel rather than you

I think the modern day bus passenger has evolved and has gained a sixth sense; a sixth sense that gives them the ability to smell if another passenger typically uses private transportation.
Once detected, they'll just stare at you and combat your presence with leg bashing, bus stopping noises and by forming some kind of chant which typically involves thanking the bus driver every 40 seconds.2 -
Unless you are an OAP, then you have a bus pass, and it makes sense to travel by buscafcnick1992 said:I had the thoroughly humiliating experience today of getting on a bus. Can't believe my car broke down.

Use of the word 'abortion' to describe something that isn't very nice. I detest the use of that word in that context.3

If you must know, they thought I said appedite when I said appetite, but I have a cold so it sounded like appedite. You should work where I work, barrel of laughs
I did a presentation a couple of years ago and instead of saying 'there are certain elements' I said 'there were certain elephants'. Tried styling it out, but unfortunately I don't work in a zoo or Zanzibar, which matey boy knew full well when standing up, pointing, and shouting loudly 'he said elephants'.
I'm not one for public speaking....

The saying
'give enough chimpanzees typewriters, eventually they'll come up with thebible/the works of shakespeare'
Why would a chimpanzee care about shakespeare or the bible?1 -
Dads at the playground, who swing their tiny kids either on either a roundabout or one of those swinging basket things to almost an inch of their life. WTF are you doing ?
Want to frog-march them to the nearest fair, stick em on the waltzer and tell the attendent that this bloke thinks you're all no good pikies and might warrent a bit of special attention. See how they like it.3 -

Utility company workers who don't put the manhole covers back "properly", like this...
Drives me crackers when I see it and I've had to stop myself going out and sorting out the one up the road to us that I walk past several times a week. Bonkers I know.
And yes, yes, yes there's no need to be point out that's more than a little OCD thanks...10 -
a few years back I did a presentation in front of an audience of zoological experts.
i came to the subject of elephants and was about to talk about the difference between African and Indian elephant's ears.
however, instead of saying 'there are certain elephants', I said 'there are certain elements...'
i tried to style it out but the crowd just started trumpeting at me and calling me a fake.
needless to say, i am no longer involved in giving animal presentations.6 -
African elephant ears are the shape of Africa and Indian elephant ears are shape of India.
So what came first, the continent/country or the ears?
Either way, Surely this is proof once and for all there is a god....

people sucking their fingers when eating.
some dirty cow on the bus yesterday sucking the frazzle crumbs off of her fingers after every crisp and now some bell end in work eating chicken wings and making the most disgusting loud sucking noise.3 -
African Elephants are cooler, let's be honest.1

I remember doing an elephant trek in Chang Mai. Whilst the day was very enjoyable, and we got to ride an elephant, at the end they let us play in the mud pools with the elephants. At first it was fun, everyone chucking mud at one another, larking about. However this went on for the best part of an hour. Fine for 10-20 mins, but no way you can dedicate a whole hour to it3

This one also belongs in the general things that confuse you thread
People who wait at a pelican crossing without pressing the button. First, you won't be able to cross the road without pressing it unless traffic is kind to you. Second, did you not see the button to press and does something not click in your head when somebody else turns up after you and has to almost lean across you to press it as you were stood right next to it too?
Becoming more common these days sadly.1 -

Add to that, people who insist on crossing the road yards from but not actually on a crossing then look at you like you're the anti-Christ for not stopping.MartinCAFC said:This one also belongs in the general things that confuse you thread

Or, here in Portugal, they stroll along the road and then without hesitation, deviation or repetition do a 90 degree wheel without looking and are on the crossing expecting you to stop when you were six feet from said crossing when they enacted their last minute manoeuvre. The same person, 5 minutes later when they are in their car, will almost run over your toes when you are half way across a dual carriageway on a crossing yourself...DaveMehmet said:
