When someone sits beside you on the bus...and keeps on talking

[KingKitty]

I had a day from fucking hell yesterday from start to finish that dumped me into a migraine.

Woke up this morning still feeling fragile with nausea and it was a new day. I was looking forward to seeing my hairdresser and getting my hair done. I got the bus into the city. Just for a local lady to sit down beside me on the bus.

This lady, she is ok but only on very small doses. First of all there were other empty seats on the his but she insisted on sitting beside me. It was a whole entire hour where she never stopped talking. It wasn't even a casual chat about the weather or holidays or anything it was her whole entire life history and medical history and an interrogation of me of where I work and who I work for and everything else and just everything and it was a journey from hell.

There was no fucking way yesterdays migraine was going to disappear after that in the morning.

I was looking forward to listening to music going into town to pump myself up with energy or just taking time to out and time to myself to compose myself.

It was a journey from f*cking hell. She was a sickener.

I even faked a call but she refused to let me take it and kept on talking.

I only regret that I didn't make an excuse and get off the just when she got on it and just wait for the next bus. That likely would have been so much more easier and bearable.

I only regret that half way into the city that I just didn't get off the bust and walk the rest of the way or wait for the next bus. It was that bad.

How can someone be like that? To constantly look for attention from another person? It was awful. Half of the time I wasn't even listening to her.

I only regret that I didn't start talking about cock to her in the hope that she fucks off to another seat.

Hasone ever been in that position? I wonder could you actually just get up and walk to the end of the bus or somewhere else? Or what is the way forward. I never want to be in that position ever ever ever again where I am on the bus and I am subjected to her.

I don't mind chatting to people and I met a different lady a few weeks ago and we had a beautiful chat and talk going in on the bus but it was also mixed with some relaxing moments of quite and some jokes.

But this morning was something else and it it just compounded the stress from yesterday and the migraine that will not go away.

Do I wait for my next dose of solpadine for about 11pm or start knocking down vodka when I get home.

How can other people be so bad and be so obvious to their badness so much so that they makes other people ill?

I wish I could be a cunt and just start making other people suffer.

I empathise with you. I got stuck on a plane once next to some old dear who just wouldn't shut up. Eventually I had to just say "mum, I'm trying to sleep".

Had it myself a few months ago while on the bus with my newborn. Some woman just wouldn’t leave me alone, she wouldn’t shut up.

i understand people get lonely I do but Jesus, just go away 😂

Headphones/earbuds you don’t even have to listen to anything I always find it’s a good deterrent! Don’t make eye contact or acknowledge them lol

Just listen to your music and ignore her next time.

Headphones on even is nothing is playing and then completely ignore them

I had headphones on and I did ignore her. I even had my bag on the seat beside me. When she got on the bust she spent ages talking to the bus driver before coming down and she stood right next to my seat where I ignored her but she forced her way to sit beside me.

I've been known to move, even if it means standing at the front of the bus. Can't be doing with it, especially after work.
