6 Reasons I Hate Taking the Bus Home On Friday & Saturday Nights

6) Last night I hop on a bus from downtown after a quality night with friends and as soon as I get on the bus it is packed. It's only the first stop and it gets really hot and uncomfortable, especially when your sitting beside a random stranger who you think could possibly be a witch looking at the pentagram on her purse.

5) The Random people you get on the bus who are extrmely odd and make you uncomfortable. Last week my Girlfriend and I were coming back home and a random asian man sat down in front of me and promptly started to fall asleep. The akward thing was he started leaning towards me and he almost started to rest his head on my lap. Nothing infuriates me more than people (especially men) fall asleep on me. though he woke up before he went all the way I was ready to start throwing punches.

4) The amount of time it takes people to get on and off the bus late at night on a weekend is painful. It's a bus all you have to do is step on or off. Your not going through the Iraq border and getting searched for a bomb, just get the bus moving again.

3) The hardcore guys who take alcohol onto the bus. Last night a guy walks on a bus with a couple of Lucky Lagers (The poor man's version of Molson Canadian's) that makes a statement about his character already. He cracks one open on the bus and starts drinking. Clearly class takes a break late at night on a bus.

2) The loud obnoxious guys who come on the bus going to a house party. Here is a late night bus staple. Guys walk on loaded and start hitting on any girl in sight. First they embarras everyone else on the bus for them but at the same time give me a little bit of joy. Then it's on to story telling time with the buddies and then hearing about how he got to touch a girl once a couple of years ago cause clearly no girl self respecting girl would touch him with the state he's in. Here presents a prediciment because on the bus there are girls with little to no self respect. Usually by the end of the bus ride he's got another story of how he totally could have gotten with that girl on the bus.

1) Girls who are on the bus and crying. This is a common occurance usually becuase their boyfriend is a jerk or their best friend is a b****. It makes everyone else on the bus uncomfortable as her friends try console her when it's really beyond the point. This is usually when drunk party goer guy gets on the bus and shows a side of himself, the emotional side who is able to comfort her and bring her back to a normal mental state. Usually a story for the buddies occurs after this.
