|
|
|
being a public commuter for nearly 6 years straight now, i've
|
|
grown accustomed to the many normalities seen on busses, subways and
|
|
trains that can sometimes appear to be strange to one not-so-accustomed
|
|
passenger. Things such as foul odors, "wackos", and of course, we can't
|
|
leave out the perverts.
|
|
|
|
living in the metropolitan city of Montreal, i've seen many
|
|
*things* (use your imagination) in my travels. the odors, however, can
|
|
be the most deceitful form of attack when riding a bus, train or subway.
|
|
a senior man approaching the back of the bus, eyeballing the empty seat
|
|
next to mine seems harmless, from afar. but as soon as he sits down and
|
|
that familiar stench fills my nostrils, i know i'm in for a ride from
|
|
hell. the smell is a mixture of garlic, B.O. and some other UFO
|
|
(unidentified foul odor). sitting on a packed bus full of tired,
|
|
disgruntled people in the middle of February is depressing enough, but
|
|
the stink is the last straw. breathing through my mouth hoping to salvage
|
|
what's left of my sense of smell, his smell becomes a taste, leaving me
|
|
in a horrible disposition. i can't open the window because it's frozen
|
|
shut, so i have to decide whether to taste or inhale his scent. the best
|
|
idea to avoid this situation entirely is to try and grab a single seat,
|
|
if you're lucky.
|
|
|
|
then comes the "mentally different". i'm not talking about
|
|
serious mental cases, just the people who feel they have to make
|
|
themselves heard in some form or another. i've seen men who talk to the
|
|
ads, women who talk to the windows, people who talk to people who aren't
|
|
really there, etc. most of these people are harmless, but there are a
|
|
few who can crack at any given moment. some decide to pull the bell cord
|
|
incessantly until they're "asked to leave", others will ring the bell but
|
|
never get off, and some will even pick fights with each other. being in
|
|
the middle of a scrap between two 40 year old women (it really happened!)
|
|
isn't what anyone normally expects to see on their way home.
|
|
|
|
last but certainly not least, the perverts. in my years
|
|
involuntariy using public transportation, these are the most common in
|
|
the pack. if you're female and riding public transportation, you're
|
|
automatically deemed a target. a common attack would be a man sitting
|
|
next to you on the bus when there are barely any other people on the bus.
|
|
you just KNOW something's up with that. the most exciting is when this
|
|
person is trying to pick you up *actually believing* that we will fall to
|
|
our knees and scream, "TAKE ME NOW!!". and being told that the scarf
|
|
you're wearing makes you look SO sexy isn't exactly the most romantic
|
|
line in the book (not many of them are). this is the point where you
|
|
nail your steely combat boot into his foot and ask, "How sexy am I now?",
|
|
if you've got guts.
|
|
|
|
the best way to avoid being scarred for life by public
|
|
transportation is to NOT USE IT. but since most of us get stuck with it
|
|
one way or another, i suggest a good loud Walkman to block out the
|
|
freaks, nuts and perverts. you don't want to wind up angry and
|
|
disgruntled because of busses and subways (like me... and you DON'T want
|
|
to be like me). so good luck.
