Is this weird or is it me?

I had the weirdest train journey today.
I was at the station waiting on the benches and the woman next to me was eating a bunch of grapes. Which is cool, except that she seemed to be having the most intense orgasm every time she put ok in her mouth
Every time she ate one she was like "ooooooooh mmmmmmmmm!" It was pretty amazing.
Then when I was on the train, I was staring out of the window and saw the reflection of the woman behind me, flossing her teeth using the the window as a mirror. That's weird right?
Then!
Old man across me, pulled a whole onion out of his bag, peeled it and sat and ate it like an apple
My eyes were watering even being sat acorss from him. He must have some sort of super onion immunity.

These things were odd right? Or is it just me? I felt like I was In some sort of weird dream.

Everyday commute for me!

ConvincingLiar · 21/01/2017 23:18

I'm glad I have a car, yanbu.

Are you sure it wasn't some hidden camera show set up?

ShoutOutToMyEx · 21/01/2017 23:19

Yes all of those things are weird. I once had to go on a Megabus (never again) and there was a man on there eating an entire roast chicken out of a bag. There was also a man wearing a bus driver's hat. He was not the driver.

I once saw a guy walking down the street in a nice suit, obviously on his way to work early in the morning, but he was trimming his beard with an electric shaver as he walked along

I'm not sure if it was the best or worst train journey of my life.

I once saw an old man sat in the pouring rain eating an entire chocolate gateaux with a comically large spoon. That still makes me laugh now.
Maybe my whole life is just being filmed for some bbc3 show

What UntilTheCowsComeHome said. Old Man had clearly been hypnotised, no one else can eat a raw onion.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 21/01/2017 23:29

Sounds like a normal train journey to me that's why I'm always amazed when people on here are so willing to let their 10 year old go half way across the country unaccompanied as there are some absolute nutters on public transport

I would've needed a pint of gaviscon after a while onion.

There were a few people admitting to enjoying doing this on the "confess your sins" thread the other day u know! It's deffo a 'thing'..

Best thing I ever saw on public transport - back in the days when I had to catch the bus home from Piccadilly, Manchester (renowned for its nutters avant garde types) was a rather large woman get on and buy a ticket - she had a huge Afro, loud make/up/jewellery and was wearing a kind of crocheted dress, like a string vest with massive holes in it. Bit weird but ok, whatever.

Then she turned to walk to her seat and had absolutely nowt on underneath it. Massive pendulus droopy tits and furry bush went sashaying past as she took her place at the back, giving all and sundry a right eyeful. (one poor chap who I suspect she sat next to came scurrying to the front like a rat up a drainpipe) - I'm laughing now remembering all the faces, my own included!

maras2 · 22/01/2017 00:00

I think I read somewhere that it's a rite of passage in some Central European Countries,to be able to eat a strong onion as you would do an apple. < mind you I may have drempt it >

jayho · 22/01/2017 00:06

I was chastised by a vair posh lady on train for eating a tangerine. 'It is not acceptable to eat citrus fruit on public transport'

that's me told....

LucklessMonster · 22/01/2017 00:09

My grandad ate onions like apples. He was from Poland, think it might be quite normal there!

Etak15 · 22/01/2017 00:16

Plenty of wierdos of public transport I was flashed at on a bus as a teenager

OohhItsNotHoxton · 22/01/2017 00:21

I once sat on a national express bus with an old man peeling and eating a raw garlic bulb clove by clove behind me. He reeked of it.

Littledrummergirl · 22/01/2017 00:26

Ds2 eats onions like Apple's. We got him a bag for his birthday once- best present ever.

user1477282676 · 22/01/2017 00:30

I would quite frankly have been sick had I had to sit among those people. How rude they all sound!

foxyloxy78 · 22/01/2017 00:31

Haha amazing train ride OP. I bet it was being filmed as part of a hidden camera show. So funny!

TheClaws · 22/01/2017 00:37

Bushymuffmum that's a beautifully described image!

FairyDogMother11 · 22/01/2017 00:37

I used to commute and had similar such stories everyday. I used to have quite the following on Twitter. Had a # and everything

EddieHitler · 22/01/2017 00:59

That is quite odd. But at least it was entertaining. I was on a bus last week and the most 'entertaining' thing was someone farting every 2 minutes during the whole half hour journey.

brasty · 22/01/2017 01:12

I have very ordinary train rides. Maybe I am the weird one?

laurenandsophie · 22/01/2017 01:37

Omg I have tears running down my cheeks! Love these stories!!
