Random Sightings... On Buses

Have been driving to work for several months now, so haven't been taking buses. Took several buses this weekend and saw so many strange stuff!

Firstly, had karaoke at HQ office on Friday, and took bus home. As it was pretty late, I decided to board the first bus that arrived, and change bus a few stops away where I have more buses to take. Anyway boarded the 1st bus and was welcomed aboard by very loud mandarin. There was a lady from China talking very loudly on her mobile in the mid-section of the bus. Then when I walked past her, realised that she was sitting with her legs on the bus seat, occupying the entire seat which was meant for 2 people...

Then, on the 2nd bus, there was an old uncle who was sitting at the seats facing each other, and he "kiao" his leg on the opposite seat facing him! So he alone took up seats for 4 people! The only redeeming point was that he took off his shoes before putting them on the seat. And then, there was an auntie sitting behind the uncle, and she also had her legs on the seat!!

Really strange seeing all these in one nite! Is it a trend now?


Took bus 851 today, and horror of horrors, spotted baby cockroaches about 1 cm in length wondering around!! Spotted 6 of them within the half hour ride home!! Infestation!! Had to change from a window seat to an aisle seat cos there was a cockroach crawling at the side of the bus next to me!! And the guy who took my seat subsequently spotted the cockroach and flicked it... ended up on the shirt of the guy sitting next to me!! Narrow escape for me!! But I also had to jump away from this guy when he tried to flick the cockroach away.

Driving seems pretty boring in comparison to taking buses!
