Public Transport TraumaCompletely Underwhelmed writes, "I was on a bus the other day when a man got on wearing shorts, over what looked like greeny grey leggings. Then the stench hit me. The 'leggings' were a mass of open wounds, crusted with greenish solidified pus that flaked off in bits as he moved."
What's the worst public transport experience you've ever had?

For anyone familiar with GlasgowSome of my worst public transport experiences have been due to the football fans round here, particularly those in the vicinity of Ibrox. No offence to anyone of that persuasion, it's just my bus route!
Particular favourites have included being the only sober and non-singing person on the bus, and my stop coinciding with a rather rousing chorus of "the bouncy", which, for anyone who hasn't yet had the pleasure, simply involves all participants jumping up and down and rocking the bus from side to side. Not the most graceful exit from a bus that I've ever made!
And then just last week I was lucky enough to enjoy a sing-off, in best sunday school picnic, front-v-back stylee. Being stuck in the middle between some Rangers fans at the back and the Celtic ones at the front made for quite a nervous journey, waiting to see which particular sectarian chant would be enough to provoke violence. Fortunately they all waited until they got off the bus to chase each other, depriving me of ringside seats for the bloodshed.

I have experienced "The Bouncy"!I was on a train to Manchester for a friends birthday, which coincided with the Rangers match...managed to come back into town just as the rioting got going too...
