To the chick who vomited on the number 81 bus this morning around 8am.
What the fucking fuck?!!!!
Not only is it completely disgusting an inappropriate to vomit on a public bus, but you had the fucking nerve to get OFF the bus, leaving your bag of vomit ON THE BUS for everyone to step over.
Just for future reference – puke somewhere private, and clean it the fuck up next time.
— just trying to get to work.

I wonder what the odds are of her vomiting on purpose… on the bus… its not like when you need to vomit you can stop it at will. But leaving it on the bus was a dick move.
I’m sure she did it on purpose as a prank on you OP…
everybody pukes, but hell yes take your barf bag with you for god sakes..the bus stinks enough…. *gag*
Think that’s gross? When I was on a commuter train in a city in another country that I was visiting, I found a used diaper on one of the seats I was about to sit on. I nearly spewed.
At least this mystery has been solved…
There was OBVIOUSLY a used diaper on her seat and THAT’S why she barfed.
Don’t you think we should be focusing on the real culprit here? Who the HELL left a USED diaper on the bus!
She was likely distraught and / or running off to puke again so perhaps the bag of vomit slipped her mind. Puking on the bus is my worst nightmare, so I feel for this woman.
OB is dickhead. if you’re getting motion sickness on the bus, there is nothing you can do both hold on for your life and pray you can hold it in, and if you can’t, you definitely don’t want to spend another second on the bus full of judgemental 9-5’ers
Puke happens, even at 8am. While passengers will curse at this, and the driver too (getting a changeoff bus in the middle of rush hour is near impossible), it is a fact of public transit life. Tomorrow is another day.
What the fucking fuck is such a NS thing to say…
Actually, not JUST a NS thing to say…. if you’ve ever watched Dexter, you’ll find his sister Deb says it, like, twice an episode.
And I think anyone who feels anything other than utter sympathy for someone who loses their breakfast in ANY public area is a tool. If it happened to me, my mind would not be focusing on how well I can clean up after myself- I would be finding the nearest hole to fall in and be swallowed up.
I’ve never had the unfortunate experience of throwing up in public, thank god! But to the OB- may you find yourself out in public when the stomach flu or something equally as bad hits you. That shit comes on fast and unexpected. Be happy she had a bag. Or maybe she was pregnant? Either way I doubt she set out to throw up on a public bus you twat.
I work on the planes and I’ve had people try to give me dirty diapers, puke bags and cups of pee, pillow cases full of puke ….nothing surprises me anymore. If you can grab your backpack, you should be able to grab your pukebag!
I’m going to hope it was morning sickness…. though don’t really get offended or sick at the sight/smell of puke anymore. suppose I can thank the times of tequila with lightweights and all the times my cat hurls the lung butter on that.
I do know some people will spew at the sight of it though …which I never really understood since it’s just warm acid, bile, and what’s left of whatever they ate. nothing too disgusting about that in retrospect…
anyways, she should have taken it with her… that’s just common courtesy.
bitch.
In the words of the late & IMO great George Carlin… “Spitting on the metro is a $50 fine. Puking is FREE !”
Gross! She could have had some contagious disease! She’s completely irresponsibly. Someone should have thrown the BagO’Puke out the bus door at her!
I almost puked on a bus once. I had food poisoning and it hit me while on the 2 going up main ave. I could feel it rising in my throat and I did everything I could to suppress the urge to toss my cookies. And I had no bag to barf in so….I almost had to yell “STOP THE BUS OMG!”, but thankfully, the urge to throw up was successfully suppressed until I got to lacewood.
Thing *is*, OP, not many people would purposely barf on a public bus (or in public for that matter) — sometimes you just can’t stop yourself. I threw up a couple months ago in the bathroom at Lawtons while paying for a prescription while having a particularly nasty gallbladder attack. I had to RUN to the bathroom in the middle of putting my pin# in. And I barely made it. Sometimes you just can’t stop it.
So sorry, precious, if an uncontrollable bodily function bothered you. I’m sure it bothered her a lot more.
I will agree, though, that not taking the barf bag was a dick move.
About 10 years ago, I was on the bus sitting across from a woman who kept opening a plastic bag, and vomiting into it (it was suprizingly quiet vomiting). The bus driver knew her and asked her how her chemotherapy was going.
So, perhaps the woman on your bus is going through chemo herself. Yes, she should have taken the puke bag, but to say it is “inappropriate” to puke on the bus is a stretch.
I’m surprised no one mentioned how good it was that she puked in a BAG! She very well could have puked all over the seat or on the floor, having it slide up the floor of the bus every time the bus stopped. Sure it was nasty that she left it on the bus but it was in a bag!
I hope people who read LTWWB while eating their lunch didn’t wander into this thread
= ).
OP, bodily waste can be gross but you really need to get some understanding and tolerance.
I was at a public function once when the smell of feces filled the air. Everyone started looking around wondering who was making the disgusting smell. Anyway, this big guy got up and went to the washroom, and when he got back people kept staring at him. The smell got worse. Finally someone rudely snarled to the guy, “Why don’t you go back to the bathroom and finish the job. Your stick is sickening.” The guy saw everyone staring at him and flipped out. Anyway, although I didn’t say anything, I knew it was the old lady next to me. When she had bent over to put her stuff under her seat, her shirt rode up, and I saw the edge of her Depends diaper. She must have been mortified as she just froze there, never looked up once and continued sitting there when everyone else got up to leave.
There’s nothing I hate more than an adult who cant puke with a little dignity! Even if I drank too much in my younger days, I always, without fail, managed to get my frigging head into a garbage can or a bush well on time! I’m still traumatized by the pig on my catamran trip last summer who spray-vomited all over me, my husband, my 11-month old baby- and the stroller. Oh sure, she mumbled an apology, right before spraying us again 3 seconds later- this time getting me in the eye and all the parts of the stroller and our clothes she missed the first time. She was standing right over the garbage can and was the first of the people who got seasick- but she couldn’t even tilt her fucking head down to use the goddamed bin because she was too busy scanning the crowd to see who was pitying her! Funny, all the little kids and other adults who came after her managed to do it INTO THE FUCKING BIN!!!!! This heffer couldn’t even bother to apologize afterward or offer help in cleaning the stroller. FUCK!!!!! I’m still not over it!!!!!!!
I can remember many times I’ve had to jump off the bus, far far away from my destination to vom on the side of the road.. no matter how far away I was from where I was going, puking on the bus was never an option for me.
No one ever wants to puke on the bus. Obviously she didn’t have any other option if she hurled on the bus at 8 o’clock in the morning.
‘vom’, po0lshark? …really? You do it enough to have a nickname for it? Impressive!
