Top 10 Things Witnessed on Public Transport

After many rides aboard the various forms of public tansport available around the world (i.e. train, plane, automobile, ferry, bus, taxi, mini-bus, metro, donkey, etc.) I have experienced some wild rides and borne witness to some, how you say, ''interesting'' sites!  Here is a list of the Top 10 (in no particlar order):
  1. Stereotypical nerdy guy who walked onto the subway playing wıth his Yoyo and went on to display his mad skills for about 5 stops -- New York City Subway, New York
  2. Old man farting loudly as he dozed off to sleep.  On one occassion he woke himself up! -- Bus from Bath to Ambleside, UK
  3. Lady talking (arguing the majority of the time) continuously for 5 hours straight.  Who would be crazy enough to be listening on the other side of the phone I could only imagine -- Bus from Lisbon to Lagos, Portugal
  4. A pickpocket attempt gone wrong with the end result an older gentleman timingly shoving the would be thief out of the subway car just as the doors closed -- Metro in Bacelona, Spain
  5. Various couples making out with little or no regard for modesty.  Gay couples not excluded -- Worldwide
  6. Lady would be Cougar who couldn't stop looking at me wıth a devilish smile and exclaiming ''Muy Guapo, muy Guapo!'' -- Train in Seville, Spain
  7. Kid attempting to train hop and getting busted by the train conductor.  He was chewed out, heavily fined, nearly arrested, and shamed to say the least. -- Train to Paris, France
  8. Drivers flirting with the lives of their passengers while navigating the very narrow and windy roads that cling to the cliffs above the coast.  The clearences at fast rates of speed are sometimes mere inches! -- Busses on the Almafi Coast, Italy
  9. Donkey passing gas at eye level no more than an arms length away while riding up hill. -- Therasia Island, Greece
  10. Watching a larger gentleman attempt to sit on one of those playground spring ride-on animals while waiting to catch a taxi.  His backside was flat on the ground.  It's a real shame I didn't have my camera! -- Cinque Terre, Italy
