Everytime I have a less than savory public transportation adventure; I feel like I should just go get a car again…but then I think again; and I realize that all my friends embrace my wacky public transit stories and think perhaps; they won’t talk to me anymore if I didn’t have good tales to tell. So alas; I’ll hold out for a little bit longer and continue with my vast social anthropology experiment.
I’m on the bus going to work and the first weird event (in the long string of them)…there is some cheese ball douche bag talking at extremely loud decibals about how; “he was going to be on set”…(the only thing that mofo is setting is the damn kitchen table for dinner) and he called about 10 people bragging about his lame existence. THEN he calls what appeared to be a girlfriend and was talking baby to her and saying cheesy weird things like; “baby, when I’m rich….(insert douche bag phrase here…in regards to a fancy car, house or jewelry or anything of monitary value)…He’s asking her what she’s wearing…if she’s naked…I mean, come on dude…have some decency here…no one wants to hear you talkie walkie to anyone who is idiot enough to actually date you.
Have I described this dude yet? Let me indulge you…greased back hair, wearing sunglasses (the real douchy ones)…somewhat of a suit/preppy thing going on…he was tall and looked like a steroid freak and had a swagger that no one on a damn bus should be allowed to have. or maybe his part-time gig is a male gigalo so he needs to look inticing to dirty old men and sugar mommas to get work?
I digress…so this joker FINALLY gets the fuck off the damn bus. Then some Miss THANG hops on the bus and tells the bus driver; “I ain’t got no money”..the bus driver says; “get the fuck off then Miss Thang”…and miss Thang continues to walk to the back of the bus and then pulled out an entire collage of make up and played beauty shop with her clown like face…
FINALLY..I get off the fucking bus. I have a mediocre day, masquerading like I’m working…then the bus ride home is even more exciting!!! First of all…the buses are all freaking packed to the gill so 3 of 4 of them pass me and don’t stop because they have so many bastards in them…I’m freaking skinny; I could totally fit on that fucking thing…but whatever…so some nice old man is making small talk and telling me that the earth is going to hit a planet and explode soon…to which I reply that we probably deserve it. He laughs heartily. I bade him goodbye when one of these damn buses finally stops.
I hop on…then these gawd awful emo kid crack addicted skate boarding kids try to sneak on the bus and sit there and argue with the bus driver for quite some time…they had all kinds of excuses as to why they didn’t have bus fare…they were mugged, beaten for their dollar…etc…and the bus driver replies; “mugged EVERY damn day”…Then some nice japanese old lady offers to pay their fare and the girl went ghetto psycho on the old lady and screams at her; “Bitch, dis ain’t none o your damn business…”
At that point the bus driver was trying to kick these fools off…cuz you don’t fuck with old people man. Then out of the blue; this douche bag in a CL class Mercedes Benz (one of those 100,000 dollar rigs) drive smack dab directly into the bus. It was ridiculous!
He gets out and starts freaking out at the bus driver who was a very nice man and cleary having a bad day already. The guy was screaming at him and the bus driver was handing out incident reports cuz we were all pretty much witnesses to this guy driving directly into us without slowing down or nothing.
All the gang bangers on the bus pretend to be injured (which was hilarious)…they kept asking the guy for money and he was screaming; “no one is getting a cent”…Then two of the gangsters asked me if I wanted to help roll him…which I was tempted cuz he looks like the type that would be stupid enough to carry large sums of cash on his person. But I politely declined…although flattered to be included in such a lofty money making plot.
I then help all the little old spanish ladies fill out their reports and a few russian woman as well…I felt like a translator at the UN. I translated for the cops and paramedics (I can’t believe no one else on the bus could freaking translate…WTF? We are in LA bitches…you need to know more than one damn language yo)…
So we all stick up for the bus driver and the angry douchy guy that hit us was pissed and kept asking people to “be a witness for him”…of course the gangsters tried to get money from the fool…but he was like; “you people suck”…but it’s like; dude, forensically, you HIT the fucking bus…there is no question about it…
Anyways, there is weirdness and arguing and blah blah…finally the douche bag admits to talking on his cell phone (once the cops came) and said he didn’t see the bus. Cuz buses are very tiny objects trolling around on the street…people miss em all the time…
I finally hop on a different rig and wouldn’t you know it; the gang bangers decide to follow me cuz I’m so cool…and they told me I was street like them…(great…I’m winning over gang bangers all over the city)…then they all decide to get off at my stop (to which I’m thinking of an escape route)…they think I need to be walked home safely (sure)…then they all do that number; “you got a boyfriend?…girlfriend?…”….argh, so I say my normal repellent phrases about being into beastiality and necrephelia (see blog below!)…That didn’t work; they were IMPRESSED with my creativity and ingenuity…WTF?
This tale wraps up with me formulating my plan…then when no one was harassing me; I literally hopped off at a random stop and waved at them as I quickly hopped off the bus and they were like; “hey, where you going?…HUH?” Then I took a cab home the rest of the way…and that is the end of another public transit adventure.
