Re: Crazy-ass people stories.

I can copy-paste a Facebook message I left for my brother about an interesting encounter I had on a bus once.

This happened in Hawaii BTW.


So today there was this CRAY-CRAY lady on the bus.

Basically, the bus is mostly full but no one is standing and seats aren't hard to get. There's this white lady sitting in the back row. At one point a middle-aged Polynesian man gets on the bus and sits down next to her, in the only empty seat in that row. He's probably slightly overweight. Suddenly she's talking to him and her voice is rising. And he sounds kinda annoyed with her. So I tune in.

Lady: Why'd you sit next to me? I know why you sat next to me; you sat next to me because you were trying to make me move my book!

Man: (Kind of annoyed, but not sounding angry)Is that seat for a book, or for a person?

Lady: It's for a person, but you just sat there because you wanted to make me move my book! Where is this conversation going?

Man: It's going nowhere.

Lady: I know why you sat next to me! You were like, "Hey, let me see if I can make this white lady move her book! So I can get my island back!" That's right, I went there.

By this point the entire bus is staring at her like: "o___0?"

Man: Uh, no, I just wanted to sit down.

Lady: No, you just wanted to make me move my book! I'm GLAD we took your island! You'll never get it back!

By now people are becoming concerned and looking at each other and shrugging and getting out their phones.

Lady: What'cha gonna do, hit me? Is that where this conversation is going??

Man: It's going nowhere.

Lady: Bet you're regretting sitting your fatass here now, aren't you? That's right, I went there. Fatass. Fat, fat, fat, fatass!

Now the entire bus is laughing out loud because really how else do you respond to this ridiculous behavior?'

Lady: Turn around, all of you! What are all of you looking at!? Why are you all gawking at me??

Asian boy who's sitting nearby): Why you being loud on a bus?

The lady starts rambling about some crap I don't even know. By this point she's quieted down so it's harder to hear so I lose track of the conversation, but soon she raises her voice again and the boy turns around and starts watching again.

Lady: Turn around, you! Why are you looking at me like that! I bet you're on his side because he has dark skin like you!

Boy: (annoyed) Why you gotta be racist?

Lady: What? What'd you say I can't hear you?? Look at all these people! Get a life all of you! Whatever. Forget this! I'm gonna read my book!

Though she claims to be reading her book, she keeps angrily rambling but I start to ignore her. I'd brought comics to read on the bus, and at one point I started chuckling. (Not a loud, disruptive laugh, just an amused grin/chuckle that's only natural when you read something amusing.) I overhear the lady saying, "Look, she's laughing! I don't even have to do anything and people are laughing at me! It must be because she likes you! She's been looking at you!"

How self-centered do you have to be to assume that just because something is laughing, they're laughing at you? And that just because someone sits next to you on a bus, it must be because they're out to get you.

Word of advice: If you don't want people to stare at you, don't start a freak show on public transportation.

Word of advice number two: Before telling people to get a life for watching said freak show on a bus on which there's probably nothing else to entertain them, try not picking fights with middle-aged men and teenagers you've never met before.
