Replying to The "Awkward" Public Transit thread

So, I'm guessing I'm not the only person who's had an awkward experience riding the bus...I'll kick off the discussion with what happened to me yesterday...

I rushed to the back seats of the bus without looking at the people around me because I was the last one on and I just wanted to sit down to avoid the disapproving glares of my fellow bus riders. Immediately upon taking my seat, I saw something wasn't right. Directly in front of me, sitting perpendicular to my line of sight, was a very...interesting looking individual. Being the day before Halloween, I legitimately couldn't tell if they were dressed up for the Hallowed eve or if this was a daily thing. So, I though it would be interesting to see what some of my friends thought. I planned on surreptitiously taking a photo on my phone while pretending I was texting. The bus was really full, so I didn't think my social faux pas would be spotted...needless to say, I was horribly wrong.

Upon taking the leap and clicking the shutter button, to my horror the camera's flash lit up the entire back of the bus, causing everyone to look my way, and the subject of the photo to become aware of my mission. Naturally, I buried my embarrassed face into a game of MadSkills motocross, pretending that it never happened. The rest of the bus ride was possibly the most awkward thing I have ever experienced. Luckily, the individual in question got off on the stop before me (so they don't know where I live, thank god), at which point I noticed that he/she was carrying a small black duffel bag that looked about the right size for a collection of knives or something. At this point, I thought it safe to check to see what the photo looked like, only to find that the subject was staring directly at me, see below for proof. I burst out laughing.



So, let's hear some others, what u got NS?
