I took the bus to work yesterday
Normally the bus people don't gross me out, but today was different.
It started out ok, A few scantily clad busty women boarded the bus and brushed their humongous ta tas against my shoulder. That was cool.
However things took a downward spiral when this woman sat in front of me, and proceeded to continually scratch her face, and really digging in.
Then she started digging in her ears and wiping the ear wax on the back of the bus seat that was right in front of me ewwwwwww.
I couldn't move, because the bus was packed with school kids after their first day of public school! :/
Puking yet? It gets better...
I hate to mention this, because it's really of no consequence, but the woman was black. She had incredibly ashy skin, and started to rub the back of her neck to get the dead skin off. Guess where the skin flakes went?
Oh Yeah, right on my lap, with a few flakes going directly into my face! MMMMMMM
Finally, I had to say something to her, much to the embarrassment of her young son that was with her.
What was I supposed to do? Gleefully eat some strangers skin flakes?
As nicely as I could, I asked her if she could please stop doing that because her skin was falling onto my lap, and that it was, well...disgusting.
She started screaming that I was an uptight white bitch and that I was harassing her, because I was a racist.
Excuse me, but I don't gleefully eat anyone's skin flakes regardless of nationality.

Blech....

6. Weird Al always says it best....
"There's a suitcase poking me in the ribs
There's an elbow in my ear
There's a smelly old bum standing next to me
Hasn't showered in a year
I think I'm missing a contact lens
I think my wallet's gone
And I think this bus is stopping again
To let a couple more freaks get on, look out"

x_X Damn gas gouging and damn crappy public transport.
