Gotta love it!!! Stinky people!

I think that law would be hard to enforce. It's really subjective.

It's really fun when you ride public transit in the rain - that makes it 10x worse!

I used to ride the buses in college from my apartment to campus - it was mostly college students, so most people smelled fine.

You couldn't pay me enough to ride public transit now!

I don't use public transport anymore.
I seem to attract Stinky pete, Funky Joe and Shaky Jake with his Psycho-Mojo-crew every freekin time! And they ALLLL want to talk to me!!!

Do I have the kind face that screams "I LIKE CRAZY PEOPLE!" even while telling them to "F" off?

If they want "normal" people to use MRT they need to get rid of the loons. (or at least hose them off first)

The last time I rode the trolly down town, Shaky Jake and Wobbly Moly came over. I had JUST bought a latte and it was ROCKET HOT! liquid steam....
Anyway, Wobbly Molly just walked up, took it, popped the top, and chugged it like it was Coors Light! Of course, then we all got a shower of liquid steam, hot coffes, spit, snot and all whatever.

Her "Handler" came over and tried to apologise and offered to buy me another cup. I was inconsolable, and extremely P-Oed. My exact words were, "If you can't keep your %$#@ animals under controle, don't take them out in %$#@ public!" I continued my rant until the next trolly stop. Then I got a cab.
I sware to what ever allmighty you believe in, If I had a knife at the time, I would have been on the evening news and I'd death row by now.

Rude and insensative? Yes.
Do I regret that I lost my composure and said horrible things? Yes.
Did I say what every person that got sprayed by hot coffee was thinking anyway? Yes.
Am I a bad person? No, (well maybe...)

I don't use public transport anymore...

I'm sorry they got nothing on a room full of stinky, hormone laden 6th graders!

I've never, ever, EVER pooted on the bus...



































... and admitted it.

If someone gave me a complimentary Speed Stick, I'd tuck it in my purse to save for a stocking stuffer. I'd remain stinky, thinking they meant someone else.

On a side note, what's up with Speed Stick? Does it really make anyone speedier? I must be using Poky Stick.

While in college, I enjoyed so many public transportation rides, it just warms my heart. Riding at night seemed no different than during the day. Crazy is crazy. A woman pulling her hair out and eating it. Homeless guy eating homemade fried chicken (more food than I'd had that day) and offering me a piece he had been gnawing on, and the wonderful assortment of guys that wanted to score with the lone young lady. My parents would have been proud. I started wearing a Walkman so I wouldn't have to talk to anyone, but the bus doors shut on the cord and ripped the headphones off my head as it rode off into the sunset. That was a little startling.

I used to work in an office where there was a girl at a desk not 2 feet from me. Every single stinking day she came in, she smelled like she had been out clubbing all night long in a smoke filled club and then slept in those clothes and THEN smoked on her way into work with the windows of her car rolled up! Her clothes, her hair.

It was AWFUL and the smell from her would bring tears to your eyes! ....and I'm a smoker.

This was not the smell of fresh cigarette smoke. It was stale stinky stale. It got so bad that she became the office joke and I started keeping a little bottle of vicks vaporub in my desk drawer to stick in my nose.

My mother and I were sitting in a waiting area when a woman came in with her small son. The smell coming from her was so horriable I almost had to gag. She smelled like an ash tray!! I recently quit smoking ( 5 months ago) I turned to my mother and whispered " Did we used to smell like that?" She told me yes. I guess when you smoke you don't smell it. I was humiliated at the thought that I used to smell like that.

Also I think people should be fined if you can smell their breath more than 4 feet away. Pet peeve.

Floss please.

Front loading washing machines are FAMOUS for making peoples clothing stink. I have to wonder if she's the only who does laundry so she can't get them out of the machine as soon as they're done.
I have to run my machine once a week with hot water and a 1/8 bottle of bleach to keep it from smelling like decomposing plant matter and I'm got a top of line machine.
My BIGGEST pet peeve is having to have my clothes smell good.
I cannot tell you have much money I spend a month on expensive dryer sheets and fabric softener and they MUST match in scent or it's a no go.
