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?

Oh! Oh! Oh! I have 2!First was on the Northern Line coming back home from work one evening. I was even coming straight home in the heighth of rush hour, so there must have been plenty of witnesses.
Anyway, this fairly respectable looking guy gets on and sits next to me. You know the sort. Suit. Briefcase. Fairly straight looking kinda fella, I thought. So I duly (because it's still the tube) bury my head in my book and think nothing more of it. Until 2 minutes later, when I notice out of the corner of my eye that he's opened up his briefcase, pulled out a jazz mag and is happily browsing through pictures of ladies' boobies and bits. It wasn't anything classy either - something at the lower-rent end of the rythm magazine market - Fiesta, or Razzle or somesuch. As luck would have it he didn't actually bang one out, but he was definitely shuffling suspiciously in his seat.
The second one was on the number 1 bus in Basingstoke, from the big Sainsburys to the Bus Station. I was sat merrily making my way home (I'd upgraded by then from book to laptop) writing a bit of code and generally filling the 2 1/2 hour journey home with somethng engaging when I heard an almighty scream from the teenage girls who were sat at the back of the bus.
It would seem that someone had left a deer's head in a carrier bag at the back. WTF? A friggin' DEER'S HEAD. A HEAD! FROM A DEER! Looked pretty rfesh as well. The eyes hadn't started clouding over, and some of the blood around where it had been severed still hadn't had a chance to congeal.
Haven't a clue what it was doing there, but I'm sure someone was gutted when they got home and discovered that they'd left their deer's head on the bus.
Now I drive to work. Which is far less eventful.

those crazy absent minded taxidermists are a scourge among public transport users:D

Hmmm......Reminds me of the time I nearly brought 8 legs of venison for £500, but it was too dear.....
Have a click for that feeble joke!
