People who put their feet up on bus seats.

Hmmmm.

Not wishing to knock any posters here (except of course, for OP and his BS hardman-fantasy-nonsense) - but the point of public transport is that it's, well, public.

In the absence of the comfortable, clean, reliable, frequent, cheap public transport service we'd all love - and of course, if you're that upset about the buses to moan at length on here you have done the same and contacted your local council and MP about it, right? - there's one sure way to always reserve your seat, never have to share your personal space with other people, and have transport that is in tune exactly with your needs.

Buy a car.

My sentiments entirely voiceofreason.....I don't use public transport so much these days but when I do I accept that it is "public" therefore for everyone to use including smelly, large or insane! I do understand that it isn't always pleasant having spent many years cooped up on buses and trains 7 days a week with some of the strangest people I have ever encountered but I saved and saved and got myself a car or I walk whenever possible.

Very brave of you - why do you think it is acceptable practice to put your dirty feet on a seat that someone has to sit on?

Wasn't brave at all of me, i was homeless at the time, had been walking for over 9 hours, managed to finally beg some bus fare and my feet were truly hurting me bad, even leaving them on the floor was painful so i put them on the seat and it felt fantastic, just when this woman tried to condem me i had had enough and told her straight.

Wasn't brave of me, just exhausted and and in a bad mood with blistered feet.

I wrote this to give you your answer so if you want to go ahead and say other things i will not be replying to you OK.

Whatever.

Still a manky, dirty, scabby thing to do. And then give some woman grief for calling you on it?

What a man you are.

You cowardly old liar.

Two nonsenses out of three, there - point out the cowardice and the lie or retract these slanders.

I dislike you

Your business - though to be fair I don't think much of you either, matey. I'll not lose much sleep over it.

Widelats wrote: »

i think your false.

In what way? In that I have a username instead of using what's on my birth certificate? In that there's not a grinning picture of me captioned "this is what I really look like" on my profile?

You consistently spout contentious nonsense on this board and bottle out of discussion or cry "foul" when called on it. Now that's cowardly.

Aside from wiping your dirty feet on some poor sod's bus seat and shouting at women (again, not really the mark of a brave man) - what do you have to offer?


[EDIT] - I realise this response may now not make much sense. I can assure you that it made plenty of sense before Widelats edited the original post. Apologies for confusion, etc.

I've also used the opposite seat on a train as a footrest so I can have a kip. I take my shoes off, or put them on my handbag though because I also don't like the idea of sitting where someone else's shoes have been. In my experience, people who take up several seats and the table with their laptop and electrical equipment are FAR more annoying than a bit of foot crud on the seat.

I have done this but put my newspaper on he seat to protect it from my hsoes instead of taking my shoes off, was once woken up in Germany by someone asking of they could read my newspaper :rotfl: Gave me a laugh anyway. (It was Bild if anyone is interested, my German wasn't yet good enough for a real newspaper).
