A couple of days ago I wrote about an evil bitch (whom i'm still cursing will miss every bus she runs after) pointing and laughing at a lady who made attempted to run after a bus in vain. Incident fresh in my head, I'm always looking out for amusing happenings in the MRT or bus.

-The seat-hoppers
I have no idea why, but some people (middle-aged and more-than middle-aged women especially) simply love to hop from seat to seat along one bus ride. They may start somewhere like 3/4 through the length of the bus, shift to an empty bench nearer to the rear door, shift to the empty bench right behind the rear door, then to one that' in the front half of the bus. Attention Deficient Disorder like kids?

-The wrigglers
Then there are those who can't seem to stop shifting in their seats. Throughout the journey, you'll see them shifting front and back, left and right, legs crossed, uncrossed, blah blah blah. Do they find the seats of our buses and trains too uncomfortable, or are they itching somewhere in the ass or groin area, or are they actually controlling their poo and pee? Not too sure.

-The humpty dumptys
Some love take the oppurtunity of the 1 hour journey to catch some sleep (or fake it so as to not make themselves guilty for not giving up a seat to pregnant women). Ok, I sleep on long journeys too, and have woken up to find myself drooling a little (ew). But what I want to talk about are those who are amazingly stable as they rock from side to side. If you notice, many seem to come close enough to just miss resting their heads on your shoulder. That's not the most impressive. I ever saw a lady having her entire upper torso at like around 40 degrees to the ground and managing to stick her butt on the seat. Now beat that.

-The let's-let-the-whole-bus-hear-us conversationalists
Those who want to talk or are hard of hearing take note. Stick close together on the bus or train! Many people are more interested in minding their own business or looking at the passing scenery rather than being sandwiched in between some people who are talking about the prices of fish at the market today or if Ah Beng got punished because he put a nail on Ah Seng's chair in class.

-The glitzy / too raggy dressers
Alright, I'm not going to be ridiculous to say that there should be a dress code in public transport. But to those who really dress too sloppily (I'm talking stained and kind of torn white ah pek singlets and worn out slippers here) , are you sure you should be going out like that? To those who're wearing a big pretty dress or tuxedo: I think you should just spend that little bit more to at least share a cab to get to your obviously important event, judging from the dressing.

Just a few types of people I noticed on our public transport. Watch out for your fellow commuters and identify them for yourselves. Meanwhile, happy riding.
