I'll start.

I have to get the bus to work every day and as my work is next to a college and usually the bus is rammed with students.

Not too bad you may say, also because of the fact a fair few amount of the girls who go to the college are cracking to look at  

But some of the students chat is chronically woeful.

Had a pair of students on the bus yesterday shouting at each other what was better, crispy or non-crispy bacon on a roll, very irritating and the 'discussion' went on for easily fifteen-twenty minutes.

Also couple this with people who shout on their phones and smelly, disgusting junkies who insist on talking loudly about the most heinous of things in front of the general public.

Damn I need to get my iPod fixed so I can drown these peoples chat out!

Sound like things posted regularly on here TBH!! But you're correct, it is chronic chat  

[Vlad-Stupid]

Folk that listen in to all the private discussions on the bus. Nosy *****

trololololol

[Ray Gin]

My pet hate is the seats being too close together for somebody over 6 foot to actually be able to sit in them without painfully having their kneecaps crushed up against the seat in front.

To be fair, it's quite hard not to listen when they are sitting at the opposite side of the bus and are shouting so loudly, broadcasting their convo.

Mines is the folk who are clearly meant to be sitting in the disabled seats with their gangly mutated legs poking you in the back through a plastic backed seat!!!!

Exactly this. Buses dont cater for giants like myself. Im not hard enough to sit at the back either!

Anyone who gets on the poverty wagon deserves everything they get IMO.

[brownkg]

The fact that the routes are all changed from when I was growing up and so now I jump on a bus and end up in entirely the wrong part of town for that bus  

eg no 42 used to take me to the sheep's heid, peffermill,Kb,Chambers street, rose st and home now I end up at the Northern Infirmiry

Is there anything anybody on JKB doesn't get upset about?  

Chat on buses
Bursd clothes
Born Slippy lyrics
BT adverts
Children
Squirrels
Music

and that's just page 1 of the Shed.  

I must be a very easy going chap.  

[Benzinho]

Folk who stand downstairs when there are loads of seats upstairs, meaning that when people get on they also stand downstairs because they think that means there are no seats upstairs.

Folk who come upstairs, take a brief glance, see a lot of people and immediately go back down stairs when there are actually seats to be had if they looked properly. This also makes anyone coming up behind them think there are no seats.

****sake. Two people having a private chat about some inane subject makes you SEETHING.

**** your life.

The only bad thing that's happened to me on the bus was the time a junkie started smoking crack behind me and telling me about selling the meat he steals from Tesco in the pub.

Try to aviod using the buses when its peak hours. If I need to get somewhere it will be using the car if possible.

Bit too much seethe going about today, it's as if a everyone's time of the month has synchronised.

Not the first time I've heard of a rather dodgy junkie on a bus going to East Lothian.

Luckily I'm off the 26 well before then.

[Bert Le Clos]

Lothian buses don't do pet hate.

I've seen several dogs, a cat and once a massive rabbit on a Lothian bus. The rabbit was terrifying.

[Creepy Lurker]

I hate it when people refer to things that other people talk about as their 'chat'.

Sometimes I hear it on buses, but then again sometimes I see it on Kickback.

[Kimi Raikkonen]

My pet hate is when people update facebook etc complaing about the buses. Whether its passangers personal hygiene or giving updates on other passangers chat

[Robbo-Jambo]

The David Obua type smiles from the drivers when you get on the bus.

Why does that annoy you? I sometimes stand at the bottom even if there are seats on both levels. Get that right up ye.

Something that irritates me is why they have a screen showing you what's happening on the camera. Makes me paranoid if I'm sitting directly in the view of one. No need for it.  

[Gabriel]

People who sit with their feet on the seat in front while staring vacantly, and do I mean vacantly, out of a window which has a sign kindly asking them not to put their feet on the seat in front.

If I ever have the misfortune of using a bus I usually stand regardless of whether there's seats available. Beats sitting next to a sweaty smelly poor person

I do that and take genuine pleasure when people look annoyed by it.  My view is that it's a stupid rule and anyone sad enough to be annoyed deserves it.

[McGlynn Style Advisor]

What harm will someone putting the tip of their shoes on a seat do? The seat will be manky and pish stained anyway. They let dogs on buses ffs.

I was on a 35 once and some old woman came on with her dog. The dog had the biggest set of pink hairless balls I've ever saw. Swear I could smell them from my seat 10ft away. Every time the bus went round a bend Its big smelly baws swayed to the side. It was horrendous

[The Merse]

Folk who stand right at the door instead of moving to the back of the bus making it a nightmare to try to get on/off.

Erseholes.

Anyone that doesnt put their foot on an empty seat in front of them is a bit weird tbh

Can understand it if there's no space on the bus, but it's just sad for people to get annoyed otherwise.  It's not like your average LRT passenger has been cavorting through the fields before getting on the bus.

I refuse to queue. Just wait at the side and get on when my bus comes.

Thats just ******* weird. I once had a man sit next to me on a  completely empty bus. He made grumbling noises for the duration of the journey.

[Jezza]

Dicks that play loud music, usually shitey happy hardcore get on my nads.

Jakie's arguing on the bus actually amuse me though.  

For me, biggest crime is the inconsiderate w@nks that smoke in bus shelter.  I have more time for murderers than I do them.

People's feet aren't generally that dirty and even when they are, the seats are filthy anyway.  Unless there aren't any free seats, it serves no purpose.

There's simply no need for this kind of beastly behaviour. Kill them all I say.

[heartsfc_fan]

I had the misfortune of getting on the bus the other week.

Some jake staggered on and fell up the stairs before asking everybody on the top deck if they wanted to buy some weed




This was a stop at Leith walk aswell, so probably explains it

[rossthejambo]

Queuings a bit gimpish, used to bug me but seeing as all the OAP's can't wait to get warm on the bus and barge past you it would appear to be a free for all.

As long as you're not pushing on the bus before everyone gets off.

[McGlynn Style Advisor]

Idiots who haven't got their money/card out. I'll not seethe if they are running for the bus, that's fair enough.

Inconsiderate people in wheelchairs during rush hour. Wastes about 5 minutes having to wait for that wee ramp to go up and down.

Women who can't fold a buggy quickly.

[Morph]

There seems to be a growing number of scaffs wanting to shout the bus down about their drug taking habits and the 'stretches' they've done in Polmont.

Wouldn't say it annoys me tbf though, i think it's quite funny.


People who smell like shite then sit beside you are annoying though.
