The "Assaulted while riding on a bus' thread

Inspired by THIS YouTube video

What is it about riding on a bus that incites such violence? Is it being in close quarters with so many people? So many smelly, retarded people?

That, and the ultimate realization that, try as you might to deny it, you are one of them.

Plus there's just some really aggro people on public transit. I usually keep to myself with headphones firmly plugged in, reading a book, but I've still gotten fucked with. Only had to deal on somebody twice in the four/five years I've been using public transit in LA, which is apparently a good track record, and both times were involving guys who were being drunk assholes, so the deck was stacked in my favor anyway.

I blame the woman that looked like Yoko Ono on that front seat.

If that's the same Muni line that I'm thinking of, it gets fucking PACKED with people. I don't doubt that there'd be some aggression showing its face at some point.

As if being a giant manbeast doesn't stack the deck enough?

Buses are fun.

About a year ago I'm riding on the bus and this guy, drunk out of his mind and reeking of alcohol from 10 feet away comes on. He spots this cute girl and starts hitting on her and getting really hands on. So I get up, grab him by the collar, tell him to shut up and then I make him sit by a window and sit next to him so he can't get up. I ask him what his stop is and when the bus comes to it I take him out. All this time the only person he's bothering is me. And what happens in the end? I get told off for being a pussy and not kicking him off the bus immediately.

Next time, rip your shirt open and re-enact selected scenes from 300.

Haha something like that happened to me while riding the Transbay bus from SF to Oakland. Late Friday night and I'm on with a bunch of teen to early 20 somethings. 3-4 really drunk guys and a couple of really cute Chinese girls were sitting near me. One of the guys is so drunk the muscles on his face aren't working properly, so when he starts talking up one of the girls and tries to smile, I saw one of the most hilarious (and indescribable) facial expressions I've ever seen. It's like three part of his face were moving in completely different directions. Adding to the comedy: his slurring speech as he asked her her name, looked deep into her eyes ("the Look of Love"), and kept trying to get her number. All the while she just looked down at the floor and giggled.

No violence, just a really funny event

That's exactly what happened the second time I had to deal with one of these idiots, except I moved the dude and sat down next to the woman. Cue five stops of this disgusting fat slob of a guy calling me a faggot and drooling all over the place talking about how he was going to kick my ass. Luckily, he was getting off at La Brea and Santa Monica too! He got off the bus, staggered out of the crowd of people exiting the bus, turned around, and immediately struck a karate pose that made me burst into uncontrollable laughter. I just walked away. Fuck him.

About a year ago there was a fight on the bus here in Houston. One guy pulled out a gun, and shot the other guy down. Somehow the shooter got off. Not with manslaughter, or anything like that. Like zero charges filed, period. I've always wondered what the whole story there was. The Press tried to get some answers, but wasn't able to.

I've never witnessed a fight or anything here in Atlanta. But I only usually ride the bus and Marta when I go to the airport.

Since moving into the city I've been taking the bus almost daily and have been holding my breath for some shit to go down... because yes sometimes it can just attract the right kind of drunk retard...
Makes me wish I wasn't 5'6" and skinny.
And a pussy.

RE: the video

I love the guy in the glasses acting like he's too cool to just watch the shit unfold. Haha. Gotta love that overblown big-city mentality of "mind your own fucking business," even if an interracial bitch fight of epic proportions is about to take place right in your lap. (ETA: Not to say minding your business doesn't have it's place. But for god's sake, enjoy the show when you're presented with one)

Seriously, if you were on that bus, how could you resist the urge to jump in between them and shout at the top of your lungs, "Ladies! Ladies! Forget it... it's Chinatown."

The girl who got in between them to break it up was awesome - "Stop it, stop it, stop it! Fucking STOP IT!"

And if you wanna see drunk, gross assholes who get in your face on a bus on a regular basis, travel the NYC-Port Authority to Atlantic City route. I grab that bus when I head down to visit my foiks, and it's like they just let half of these people out of prison.

Tell me about it. One time I was riding the bus and some old lady told me I should offer her my seat. I stood my ground and didn't budge for this bitch, but later another passenger told me that I was the pussy! The horrors of public transport.
