So I’ve had some interesting bus rides. But this takes the cake: buddy gets on this morning with a surfboard. A huge, 7 foot surfboard, in a case. It’s too tall to stand up on the bus, so he hauls it all the way to the back and puts it in the aisle, in between my friend and I (we were sitting across from each other).
Besides the fact that neither of us could get off the bus without him moving, he leaned the surfboard against her on the seat. She was too stunned to say anything.
Isn’t there a better place for your surfboard? Do they fit in the bike racks? Also, where the hell are you going surfing on the 52? —Non-bus Surfer

Where the fuck is he suppose to put the surf board. He brought it to the back of the bus…..so he didn’t fucking block off the front part of the bus……?
ZzZ says: “Angels full of shit. Don’t bring a fucking surf board on the bus unless you can pay for it”
Angel: “You don’t have to pay for kids.”
ZzZ says: “But its’ 7 fucking feet.”
Jono Says: “Its less then five years old, fare is free.”
You’re on a roll this morning 1fa1! 🙂
lucky it wasn’t a dead wart hog there o.p.
Sorry OP, it’s just school buses that you cannot take your boards on. How else was he supposed to get to the beach, hitch-hike?
Maybe he plans on surfing the turds of the harbour, because I am pretty sure no bus goes to Lawrencetown. Metro Transit needs to begin restricting what people can and cannot take on a bus…..surfboards and those huge baby stroller caravans should be banned. Oh and fat people.
Once I had an old man get on with wooden boat oars! Personally before I invested in a boat, I’d consider a car…Anyhow he propped them up against all three people sitting in the same seats OP is talking about, then persisted to complain and mutter angry remarks each time someone tried to get off and got tripped up by his boat oars…That he had placed on their feet!
Please make some kind of restrictions to avoid this craziness :S
This is good news for me!
Transporting my Nubian goats back and forth from the Dartmouth Commons to the Halifax Commons will be a cinch now.
Thanks for the heads up!
Dartmouth has a commons?
there was a similar bitch last year. maybe it’s the same dude…making a pilgrimage or what not
Dartmouth has a commons?
yes, rosie, we have a commons. you should consider leaving the peninsula every once and a while.
I leave the peninsula every day hon… to come out to Windsor (and I don’t mean Street) 😀
I was kind of “WTFing” when I read this bitch until you state it’s the 52.
What do you expect, OP? Really. It’s the 52.
Last week I was coming home and some fat older lady (and I use that term loosely) got on the 52 in nothing but a too-small bathing suit talking on a cell phone. It was bad enough until she decided to put her leg up and…let’s just say I’ve seen more hairy roast beef curtain than I really ever care to on metro transit.
And when she got off the bus the ass of her suit didn’t quite fit over her ass cheeks and they kept flapping and slapping around while she walked.
*shudder*
PK… I just threw up a little in my mouth 🙁
oh dearie me that is some bad kinda semi-naked
AAARRGHHH….. PK…. i need to go wash my brain out in cyanide.
Ugh… reading this while eating is NOT recommended. Lovely imagery, there, PK… you are slowly working your way to #2, behind only the lovely TTFN.
She’s clearly too sexy to be kept hidden PK.
i’m too sexy for the bus, i’m too sexy for my cats……
I’m really sorry I may have ruined someone’s dinner with that post but….if i have to live with that burnt into my retinas for the rest of my life I might as well share the joy. I mean I *still* can’t eat hamburgers. 🙁
Or tacos.
Oh Dear Sweet Puddy Kitty, don’t make me show you fuggly:)
What? There’s no dress code on the bus? Standards are indeed in decline. I am a firm believer in the idea that folks should dress up when they travel.
There is also the hygiene issue. Who knows what toxic biosolids this woman may have left behind, from her ‘behind’ and her “hairy roast beef curtains”.
