I realize that squawking is all you do to contain your excitement as we sail toward the radiant beauty of the filthy industrial buildings in Woodside, but for the love of god SHUT THE HELL UP. Being a tourist is irritating enough, but being a loud, perfume-soaked American who insists on SCREAMING a play-by-play to the people around you at 7:30 am is insufferable. Remember that most of the people around you travel this route to and from work, and unless you want a very intimate view of exactly how much of the harbor is made up of sewage, I’d suggest you zip that flapping hole in your face. —Angry Commuter

OB, go fuck yourself. The only thing you said that made any sense is the ton of oerfume and that could have came from any one of the other commuters/ Unlike you, tourism is good for the area and brings in money. Of course next time you could do us all a favour and jump overboard. No one would miss your obnoxious ass.
I’m with Bro Tim. God forbid somebody from away find something to be excited about in our dysfunctional little duchy. We aren’t Albania under Enver Hoxha; we do depend on tourist dollars and it’s sometimes nice to encounter someone who isn’t obsessing about the shit-filled harbour, the moribund downtown, the crime-ridden burbs and the time-serving zombies in city hall.
Knock the sand out of your vag, before somebody does it for you.
Ditto, and ditto.
Fuck you, OB.
Leave the tourists alone. They bring cash.
And while you’re at it put on a kilt and learn some folk dancing and bagpipe playing.
If it weren’t for tourists bringing cash (and that includes the ones that like it so much they actually move here) there wouldn’t be any cash in these here parts.
i love ferries. what they said ya pillock
Ok, ok, I agree with you guys in essence – seriously OB, headphones.
But still screaming Americans would also get me bitching early in the morning… sometimes you’ve gotta be considerate of the folks around you, yo’.
Methinks ya’ll would be a little more down on the perpetrator if it was a stoned gangsta hooligan makin’ a racket.
Screaming anybody at that point in the morning would make me bitchy.
That said, leave the tourists alone. Without them I am unemployed.
Getting that angry over this leads me to believe OP has anger issues.
Chill the fuck out, dude.
The ferry ride is HOW long? FFS.
OP go buy a fucking ipod you douche
I use to take the bus to work and any time anyone opens their mouth it’s pretty annoying, because why would you possibly give a fuck about what some stranger has to say, unless you’re a nosy eavesdropper? That’s why I bring music.
You think the tourists here are bad? Try living in Paris or Amsterdam, fuck, The Eastern Townships for that matter. We should be thankful that anyone would pay to come visit this place.
Ah, the cheap tourist cruise of the harbour. But why would they choose Woodside…..yuck. Do they offer a smell by smell commentary as they get closer to the refinery?
Gerry and the Pacemakers song dancing through my head, please stop oh please stop.
Maybe they were missionaries trying to bring civilisation to Woodside? check the police reports; American tourists robbed at gunpoint in Woodside, usual suspects.
*Singing at the top of my lungs*…”Fer-ry. Cross the Mer-sey, And al-ways take me there…the place I love”
Classic! Thanks Basil 😀

“Torpedo. Los!”
lolz Ivan, glad I was finished my coffee.
Out of town for a couple of days, back for the weekend.
Have fun playing in the rain, I’m sure I will.
Can I pick vacations, or what? Have fun Hugo.
I have to admit… any consistent (and incessant) verbalizing on the bus irritates me.
I hate it when I misplace my ipod (or earphones) and can’t block them out.
I understand your pain OP…
though you were on the ferry and could have gone somewhere else… like up top perhaps to get away.
and don’t give me the “it’s raining” bs…
Which is more annoying? rain or some prat driveling on…
you made your choice
It *is* irritating, but getting so pissed off that you write a bitch about it? I can see if it’s a repeat thing, but it’s a one shot deal because they’re tourists.
The only way to survive metro transit, really, is an ipod.
well I would have since, yes, it does irritate me that much…
but there’s nary a day that goes by without a bus bitch.
What I really want -when I have a frivolity fund to draw from- is one of these suckers to leave on a few of the buses.

The ensuing footage from the bus cams would prove golden.
Just keep better track of your shit and don’t lose your ipod and voila, no more bus frustration.
Sometimes I think you purposely make things difficult for yourself. 😉
Of all the stupid shit people bitch about this one is no more irrelevant.
Imagine if it was a water-being-turned-off-because-you-didn’t-pay-your-bills bitch!
I, too, would bitch about annoying, loud, abrasive, Americans. And I do it regularly.
…at least it’s not about dog poop, suv strollers or bikes eh ralmn?
