To the drunk idiots who sat behind me on the bus the other night, more specifically the girl who let her lunch go on the seat behind me: Next time, STAY THE FUCK HOME! The last thing I want to do after a long day at work is listen to some drunk girl screaming at her boyfriend. No wonder he told you to shut the fuck up! I was about to do the same until the gentleman up front reminded you that you were not the only two people on the bus. Like many people I don’t have much of a choice in my mode of transportation and I like to make the best of it…let me tell you, it’s really hard to do that when someone is spewing all over the back of your seat. I think I speak for the busdriver and every passenger when I say stay the fuck home if you’re going to drink so much that you can’t even walk or notice that your little quarrel is pissing people off…I don’t think that you realized when you decided to take the bus, that the busdriver doesn’t want to be cleaning up your vomit sure as hell don’t want to be sitting in it!
I hope you got picked up by the cops and thrown in the drunk tank… if not I’ll take comfort in the fact that the next morning karma would find you

Oh, that’s just fucking nasty! I can’t stand people who can’t control themselves when they drink. Everyone has a limit, you just have to know what yours is.
I was on a train once and some drunk guy decided that the aisle and empty seat next to me was a toilet and pissed all over it. I Scooted as close to the window as I could to avoid splashback..but I was otherwise trapped. I was too shocked to actually yell at the guy which would have only draw his attention and result in his aim adjusting further in my direction anyway. When they finally hauled his drunk ass off the train and arrested him he was told that “urininating in the aisle is simply not acceptable behavior.” That puts it mildly. I have been pretty wasted in my day, but never so much I don’t recognize a toilet or barf all over public transit….some people’s children.
Maybe instead of bitching about stupid MT drivers, we should keep to bitching about stupid MT riders, who are probably the main cause of the drivers being stupid. I for one certainly have a lot more horror stories about riders than drivers, but I’ve never been nearly puked or pissed on!
