15+ Times When People Got Off Public Transport With a Story to Tell
Public transport has long become an integral part of our daily lives, and we no longer tend to notice how many comical and unusual situations occur during the journey. Sometimes even one phrase from a passenger can bring a smile to your face and make you feel positive for the rest of the day.
I’m travelling on a bus. A young mother is standing with her little daughter. She looks very tired. Some guy says, “Oh, why so beautiful girl looks so gloomy?” She doesn’t react.
The daughter looks at the guy sternly and says loudly, “Leave my mom alone! She wants to go to the toilet!” You should have seen the faces of the other passengers. I’m travelling on a tram. The phone rings. It’s my mom. She starts asking me how I am, how’s my health. I say, “Mom, it’s inconvenient to talk now, people around are listening.”
I say goodbye and promise to call her back later. And then some woman in front of me turns around and says, “Shame on you to think about us like that! No one wants to listen to your conversations!” I wanted to laugh, but held back. I’m travelling on a bus. Next to me is an old couple. The man keeps looking at her and smiling, he’s literally glowing! And she’s sullenly silent.
And then the old man, apparently, can’t stand it and says, “Oh, my dear, it’s so good that you forgot your dentures at home today. You’re so silent.” The lady snorted under her nose and turned away, and the passengers next to her could hardly hold from laughing. I still remember that man’s smile.
Yesterday, I was travelling on the subway with the classmate I’ve been liking for a long time. At some point, she didn’t keep on her feet and began to fall. For a split second, I imagined how romantically I catch her, how our gazes meet, how beautiful everything is…
But in the end, by some miracle, I couldn’t keep on my feet myself and started to fall. The girl ended up being deftly caught by another guy, and I broke my nose.
