So I was on the bus today... Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Top deck, iPod blasting Shakira at full volume , reading a battered copy of "A Rendezvous in Averoigne when I suddenly become aware of the fact that my lungs are about to explode.

My hayfever is pretty bad at the moment, last night's storm and the amount of pollen in the air wasn't exactly helping, but I start coughing like an Englishman in a Pekka thread. This bloke sitting at the back, clearly too stupid to read the large "No Smoking" stickers on EACH ****ing window, the ceiling, and the back of every seat, had lit up.

He didn't give the impression of being a ****er. I don't mean to sound like a bigot when I say that but it's fairly easy to tell which people are likely to go around throwing pint glasses into people's faces on a saturday night. He wasn't one of them.

There were about 5 or 6 people on the top deck, two I later found out were asthmatics and were clearly uncomfortable, but this guy was sitting back happy as larry.

Anyway I picked up my phone and put it to my ear, as though someone were calling though obviously no-one was.

"Hi"

"Yeah it's Ben"

*lots of coughing, spluttering*

"No I'll be ok, there's a complete arsehole on this bus who thinks his nicotine fix is more important than other people getting lung cancer"

*more coughing*

So anyway I pretend it's a fast call and 'hang up'. This guy starts giving me dirty looks so I walk over to him and ask if he has a problem, and flick the cig from his hand. It landed on his lap which I was quite proud of so while he was busy flicking it off I sat back down.

The idiot lit up again!!

We get to the bus station, he walks to get off first and flicks the cigarette at me, so in the process of kicking him down the stairs I stub his cigarette out on his hand and spit in his face, explaining politely that he's a '****ing selfish ****', among other things.

The top deck starts cheering me and pat me on the back as they all get off.

Me feel good!

No worries, in 10 years he'll be dying of cancer while I'm getting lynched by a hoarde of angry Jewish burberry-wearing evangelical pot-smoking Bach fans.

And he'll get my lungs...

Seems to me the thing to do would have been inform the idiot that there is no smoking on the bus but he prolly wouldnt have listedned anyway. I have had a bad experience on a bus as well in Hawaii. Some scabby ole bi*** got on when i was heading home from work this idiot just stasrted yelling and beating on the window apperently she wanted a few folks to move out of the front seats so she could sit down i was sitiing in the regulasr seats at the front but not in the ones u have to move for elderly. long story short nobody moved she got mad moved to were i was sitting and strted yelling spitiing while yelling telling me to move i just ignored her, then she hit me. I was like wtf. I ended up calling the police while i was on the bus and told them my bus number where we were at and told them when she would be getting off well she got off i folled her till police showed up and she was arrested for assault.

I'm totally with you Whale, this one time I was on the metro and this guy was being such an inconsiderate a.sshole. He was eating on the train, which is definitely against the rules. So I followed him when we both got off and then kicked him down a flight of stairs. That bastard.

Then this other time this guy was playing his music too loud, so I took his stereo and smashed it on the ground. He looked like he was gonna do something, so I gave him a swift elbow to the throat. Lets see him try that crap again.

Inconsiderate people.

Violent vigilantes

so does this mean you would have beat down whaleboy for playing his i pod at full volume to? Or do you just beat on unsuspecting folks that have annoyed you??

IIRC in DC (where I assume Ozzy was) playing radios are not allowed on Metro.

Kicking a guy down a flight of stairs, Ozzy? Isn't that harsh? I hope you told him what it was for or he'd think he was just being a victim of a hoodlum.

Once he had an audience he had to impress.

Just be happy the guy wasn't the type that wanted to screw you over and call the cops on you for battery (even smacking the cigarette out of his hand is battery... it's part of his person).
