Well today's bus ride was not a disappointment. I swear I do not know where these people come from or where they are going...its actually frightening.
As we were pulling away from a stop I hear what has got to be the most awful sounding voice ever say, "You need to let me off this bus!" Now, you have to imagine that being said in a drunk, slurred, old lady, 3 packs a day, voice...nails on a chalkboard. I have been a bus rider now for over a year and I know that someone demanding to be let off the bus cannot be a good thing. As I turn around to take a peak at this songbird, I am not even prepared for what I see. She is sitting on the floor of the bus facing the back. Good Lord...this is not going to end well. She keeps insisting that she get off the bus. Yeah lady, like getting off the bus is your biggest problem. She then proceeds to lie down on the bus!!! What the hell is going on?! Now, at this point, there are other people around trying to help her up and the bus driver is not even really paying attention and keeps driving. I cannot help but watch this train wreck, plus I am dying to know what the front of this person looks like! She grants my wish and turns around. Holy Moly folks...this is one from my nightmares. Her eyes are open at different levels, she has that leathery skin, her hair has not been washed/brushed in at least 6 months, and I am pretty sure she has been drunk since Jimmy Carter was in office....bottom line, there has not been a happy hour in Seattle that this one has missed. I literally gasped. She continues to struggle and it takes 3 people to help her off the bus. She ping-pongs her way down the aisle to the door forgetting her bag of course and then exiting. Umm, what is she going to do when she exits...she is now leashed out upon the city of Seattle....eh, I guarantee there are worse out there than Drunk Mary.
