More than once I’ve been faced with having to sit in close proximity to someone on the bus who hasn’t taken the time to brush their teeth. I realize that maybe there is the odd occasion that someone is so rushed to get out the door and catch the bus that they simply haven’t had time for their oral hygiene routine. Whether or not this is the case, the alternative (although temporary) solution is this: KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED. —Bus Bitch

  1. offer them some gum or a breath mint they may not get your drift but at least you will be able to breathe, op there’s nothing worse than stank breath, it gags a person. feet are bad too though. and a dirty ass is beyond repair. get up and move to another seat.

  2. Fuck THAT.
    I would rather miss my bus and go into work late than leave the house without brushing my teeth in the morning. Some people are just disgusting.

  3. What’s worse is having their arse fat hang over into the seat beside them and having the choice to either sit beside them or stand.

    Hey, there’s an idea: STAND!

  4. I can’t imagine being in such a rush that I forget to brush my teeth…it’s the first thing I do when my feet hit the floor in the morning. I mean, how does a person go through the day with morning breath and filmy teeth? Yuck!

  5. On a bus full of random strangers, the only common denominator is you, OP…perhaps you have bad breath and are unaware. lol

  6. I’m with the nurse. Brushing my teeth is the first thing I do in the morning (outside of peeing). Going through the day with grimy teeth would be bothersome.

  7. I actually don’t find the cigarette breath that bad compared to the hot morning breath of strangers’ unbrushed stinking gorges. Toothpaste is a dollar, there’s no excuse. True story, I once dated a guy that hated mint toothpaste, he only used that red closeup kind and he had a fear of chewing gum. Seriously, it was a childhood fear somehow, he hated to chew it and always refused gum offered to him. He didn’t even like ME chewing it. Anyway, he had the most rotten fucking breath I’ve ever smelt, therefore doufuss got dumped real quick. nasty ass motherfuckers, brush ya damn teef!

  8. “Aqualung” and “Thick as a Brick” were my favourite LPs PG. The group was in their prime then.

  9. bad breath can also be caused by a number of illnesses, most of them having NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with oral hygene. Halitosis is often caused by gastronomic disorders.

    Asthma and allergies make it hard to breathe through the nose.

    Both of these are common phenomena.

    Put the two together and you’re suddenly a giant douche.

    I’m surprised, with your nose so high in the air, you can smell anything but considering your entitlement to your own perfect chariot, my suggestion would be to get a car. Since you see yourself far above the unwashed (no pun intended) masses. They call it the Proletariat Chariot because that’s who’s riding it. So if you can’t deal with the proletariat, don’t be part of it. Unless you are and can’t afford your own wheels. Then i guess you’re shit out of luck.

  10. See op someday (someday soon because life is short) you’re going to be old, probably fat, incontinent, maybe a little crazy. You’ll be too old to drive and you’ll be back on that bus (if you ever leave it) and you’ll hear the mean remarks of people around you about why can’t that gross old person hurry up and die because they can’t stand the smell of urine and A535 mixed with rotten teeth. Because, you know, that old lady can HELP it right?

    Someday op you’re gonna be that guy. If you’re not already.

  11. How about being wedged between two plus sized people with your arms criss-crossed. Or someone that sits with you that smell of cigarette smoke and urine. The fun nevers stops when you ride Metro Transit.
