I have the fortune of working in a busy downtown environment comprised of overpriced offices and businesses that charge exorbitant amounts of money for goods and services usually free anywhere else - like parking for my vehicle. In an effort to save money when I first started, I bought a bus pass to commute to work. I'll leave out the annoying parts about waiting in the rain and cold for a bus that seems to never show, then stopping every 1/4 block to pick up people too lazy to converge at the same stop even though they were close enough to have a civil conversation with each other.
My favorite part of the whole ordeal was the amazing people you would encounter, people just like the ones you will find here. I've never asked you for anything, but please keep your phone handy when riding public transport and send me the funny photos you snap. Might just make it in an article.
1. You can just follow that gaze and connect the trail of judgement dots all the way to the promised land.
2. I don't know why these people are smiling. I saw this picture and dropped my s--- and ran. I'm writing this article from my phone in the hallway now.
3. After a long day of 'gettin 'er dun', Earl needed a country minute to catch a few winks.
4. After defeat at the hands of Batman, Bane fell on hard times. But he found his time on the bus to be rather relaxing on his way to his new job as a Subway sandwich artist.
5. It wasn't until Hermione was asked to move her feet that she and Ron realized that Harry didn't lend them his real invisibility cloak.
6. In an effort to get even better milage, some people will try anything.
7. Here is Flava Flav's distant cousin, Ticky Tick, riding the subway and enjoying her favorite novella: Hickory Dickory Dock.
8. This guy has taken the cliche subway act of sleeping on the shoulder of the rider beside you and totally committed to just power napping like a boss.
9. Listen, we don't all have the luxury of time okay. If she needs to multitask her commute and cooking - so be it. I'm sure it'll be a deliciously sanitary meal.
10. As a PSA, always be aware of the traffic conditions around the bus and be prepared for sudden stops.
11. Tim worked hard for that body, but he was tired of being treated like an object. He decided his socks were a perfect vehicle to ironically protest.
12. No matter how hard she tried to shake it, Kim just couldn't let the feeling go that she had forgotten something today...
13. This might be a little below the belt, but it's probably a good thing he doesn't need those legs anyways.
14. Little known fact: Iron Man has an unfortunate brother, Duct Tape Dude.
15. Upon realizing that he left the bologna at home, Gary knew he would have to go to extreme lengths to catch lunch before the end of the line.
16. Andre 300 preparing another outrageous concert outfit. Ms. Jackson, the woman to his right, claimed that upon being poked by Andre's crochet needle, she was apologized to with an "I'm sorry."
17. Fed up with no stores carrying her size, this woman decided that it was just a number, and she would no longer be a part of a system designed to keep her down. Either that or six toes. Meh.
18. Let it all go. Let it all hang. You paid for this ride, I'm pretty sure that means you're basically entitled to treat the place like home.
19. Most people who ride public transit can make it sound like hell. To drive that point home, this guy uses it.
20. Meet 'White Chocolate' and his pet bird, 'Chocolate Salty Balls'. BFF 4 LYFE.
21. Buzz has never been a social guy, so his bump-and-go 'no people allowed' fort has been a godsend.
22. You ever have one of those nights where you lost your phone, wallet, keys, clothes - everything but your beer? I think it's safe to say we've all been there.
23. The problem with riding the subway is that there just isn't privacy when using the toilet seats...wait, that's not a thing?!
