Embarrassing Incidents on Buses

[PopT 10]

This embarassing one happened on a tram going down the Moor.

 

I was on the top deck and a kid was pestering his mother to take him to Redgates Toy Shop.

 

Everytime he asked she fobbed him off with, We'll see!

 

When the tram past the shop and saw that his mother wasn't going to take him to redgates kid's voice changed into a real Nazi threatening voice. If tha dunt tek mi to Redgates, am going to tell mi Dad I saw thi pee in Pale last neet!

 

The whole top deck exploded with laughter and the embarrassment on that mother's face was total.

 

Happy Days! PopT

Talking about youngsters embarrassing you,I was on a city bound bus a while ago which was pretty full at the time.Suddenly this youngster shouted out "Mam Mam look a kangaroo!",everyone looked out of the window to see a dark coloured greyhound crouched down having a pony and trap!.All the bus full burst out laughing except the youngster who received a sharp clip from his Ma for showing her up!.

Mine goes back to 1974 me and my mates and 2 girlfriends had just been to the ABC to watch earthquake. We went into Pond Street and caught the old 27, which was the Dyke Vale bus.

 

I got on asked for 4 x 9p fares, as yes it was that cheap for adults to travel on our buses, I got my change from a quid and thought it was wrong. I thought he'd overcharged me by 9p, so I shouts down bus nah then Dave 4 x 9s are 27 aren't they, then went oops no they're 36, I felt a right berk bus full I sheepishly made my way down the bus.

Hi Zakes incident 3 I had the same problem one hot summers day in the early 70s!.I had taken my VW beetle to Gilders up Ecclesall Road for a service,I had to catch a bus from Hillsborough to town then another to Gilders,I had been at work since 5am was hot and tired.Anyway the bus was swaying and I dropped off to sleep,I awoke a couple of stops before mine,I stood up as I was on the top deck when I noticed I had an erection a Latin American porn star would have been proud of.Those few yards to the stairs and down were the longest I,ve covered in my life,I imagined everybody was staring at me and I couldn,t get away quick enough.At this stage of my life now I ought to go back and catch the same bus again it would do me the world of good!

Being on a bus in the first place is a very embarrassing incident all on its own. I've never understood busses. You do realise that you could end up sitting next to literally ANYONE, even an unemployed! You do realise that busses keep stopping to let more random strangers come aboard. How silly, oh we're travelling toward our destination, oh now we've stopped again. Stop start stop start what a ridiculous way to travel, clearly for people with time on their hands. I can't actually think of anything more embarrassing than my situation dictating the necessity to board such transport. But then I read here that embarrassing things can happen on top of the embarrassing journey. That's a lot of embarrassment.

I was on the 76 sheffield lane top bus going home from work and the last thing I remembred was stopping in high st the next was waking up in the garage about 2 hours later and a cleaner laughing at me saying i think this is your stop love.

My embarrassing moment happened many years ago, but never forgotten; I was obviously pregnant and this thoughtful young man stood up to give me his seat. In the meantime an older man nipped into the seat PDQ, not seeing this I swung around the young man, bus swaying, and landed right into the older ones lap. I got up and said sorry, he said harrumph shook out his newspaper and started to read. The young man and I were totally convulsed with laughter and I just shrugged and said 'Let it go'. # 23 bus was the bus,

I was siitting on the bus when a young child & her mother got on - it was standing room only & they were stood directly in front of me - the little girl looked at me and with a great big smile shouted "HELLO JANET" - I returned her greeting and in the same voice she said "YOUR NAMES NOT JANET" I replied no it's not luv - she then shouted "WELL WHY DID YOU SAY HELLO THEN ?" (well it amused the other people if only to see my red face)

 

Cheers M'Dears

Years ago got on the bus and proceeded to light a fag,thought i'd shook the match out and put it back in the match box,and whoosh the whole box went up.Worst part you wasn't allowed to smoke downstairs,still blush when I think of it but learnt the error of my ways no more fags.

Many years ago my lovely Grandma used to save 5p pieces (they were larger in those days than they are now) and she would put them in an old Strerident tube. When the tube was full she would give them to me - a small fortune for a struggling student at the time.

The day after she gave me the full tube I was travelling to work on the bus , put my bag on the floor and somewhere along the journey the tube found it's way out of my bag and rolled very slowly and very noisily down the central aisle of the bus - coming to rest at the drivers cab whereupon everyone on the bus turned around to see who was going to retrieve the Sterident tube and it's very valuable contents!

Whoever picked up the tube would have had a very nice surprise - it wasn't me !

Are you saying that you kissed a 'small fortune' goodbye rather than look a little bit silly?
