The Bus People
When people commute long distance every day to and from work, they end up making friends and/or acquaintances with the people who do the same commute.
Sometimes, because of the so many different faces and the fact that our time is limited, we fail to remember people's names and begin labeling them with different names based on the way they look, walk, smell, and behave. So I wanted to share some of the labels of people which I commute with.
“Jesus Freak”: That would be me
“Onion Lady”: By the time she takes the bus to go home, her armpits smell like fermented onions. All she has to do is lift her arms up just a little and it's like this green fog engulfing your lungs.
“The Three Little Pigs”: Horrible of us I know but the reason we gave these 3 young women the name is because they are all related somehow because they all look alike. They are short, heavy, heavy acne and are always eating junk food.
“Cancer Lady and Man”: Both always elegantly dressed who chain smokes and because they reek of cigarette smell, we swear if you sit next to them you'll get cancer.
“Halitosis Guy”: Very nice man but unfortunately not even a mint can penetrate the awful smell that comes out of his mouth.
“Gossip Ladies”: There are only 4 women but we all know who they are because they always sit in the front of the bus and all you hear is cackling and yapping. The worse part about these women is if they don't sit next to each other and sit next to you - they will talk to you endlessly.
“The Snorers”: There are two men one large and one small - not related who snore extremely loud during the whole ride.
“The Bag Lady”: Large woman who carries 4 or 5 bags every day and hits everyone as she goes down the aisle.
“The Sweaty Guy”: Winter, Fall, Spring, Summer - this guy is always sweaty and wet.
“Fish Lady”: Must work in a fish market because every night she smells of fish.
“The Movie Guys”: Older and younger man who sit next to each other on the way home with snacks and watch a movie on a portable DVD player.
“Hoochies”: Two women who always wear provocative clothing.
“The He/She Person”: This person dresses like a woman but nobody knows for sure because of the deep voice, adam's apple and large hands. Very strange. I wouldn't be surprised if it's name is Pat.
These are just few and I'm sure I can describe a few more but what is funny is everyone knows these people by these names.
