Stock Characters on the City Bus

People have to get around, and not all of us have cars (especially those of us who live in a city).

For people-watchers, public transport is a blessing in disguise. And no matter where you go, there are some stock characters you might run into—on the L.A. bus line, in the New York subway, or in a London Tube car. Here are a few:

1. The Really Smelly Guy
2. The Woman With Giant Glasses and Way too Many Bags
3. The Little Kid Who Just Can't Sit Still and Has to Talk to Everybody
4. The Businessman Who Yells Into His BlueTooth
5. Four Really Loud Girls with Coach Bags
6. The Man Who Mumbles to Himself the Entire Ride
7. The Old Woman Who Is Angry No Matter What You Do or Say and Even If You Make Room for Her to Sit Down She's Still Angry
8. The Creepy Greasy Guy in the Secondhand Army Jacket Who Won't Stop Staring at You
9. The Toddler Who Is Constantly Screaming and Crying and the Mother Who Keeps Telling the Toddler To "Shut Up Right Now" to No Avail
10. The Guys Who Have the Same Clothes and Haircuts and Only Call Each Other "Bro"
11. The Couple That Is Sitting Together Even Though They Were Clearly Having a Very Intense Argument Just a Minute Ago
12. The Guy Who Tries to Sneak Aboard and When the Driver Calls Him on It He Asks Everybody On Board For Change
13. The Woman Who Is Intensely Reading a Risque Romance Novel
14. The Couple That is Probably Too Young to be Parents But Are Pushing Two Strollers that Take Up the Entire Aisle
15. The Guy Who Never Makes It Aboard, Because He Was a Few Seconds Too Late, And He Runs After the Vehicle, Waving His Arms Frantically, To No Avail
16. The Young Man With Scary Bandages and a Sullen Expression
17. The Chatty Guy Who's Just on the Bus so He Can Talk to the Bus Driver
