Woman on the bus wanted half my fudge...

Light-hearted thread (hopefully?).

I was shopping today, got on a bus home. As a treat, I got a nice bar of Christmas fudge (kind of like mince pie flavour!). Trying to save up and it was a bit pricey, but I haven't gone out in ages or done anything much that would cost anything, so I thought it would be a nice thing to have a little treat. I was hungry, so bit off a bit to much on, and put the rest in my handbag. Then a woman sitting across tapped me on a shoulder and asked what it was I was eating, so I said what it was. She said it smelled nice and if she can have the rest of it (!). I was a bit take aback and said I ate it all and there was non left. She kept on asking where I got it and how much it cost and if I was sure there was none left a few times.

I later thought she was maybe hungry, but then she saw my shopping bag sitting proudly next to me on my seat with bread and bananas sticking out and didn't ask for those, so wonder if she was a CF just going after my nice fudge?

What a weirdo!!

@MadameButterface haha!

@borisanddoris some people don't have the choice to use public transport and for many reasons don't have the luxury of having a car and it's not always due to finances. I myself can't drive as I am partially blind and can't legally get a driving licence

Did this happen in a dream?

YouSmellOfBeefAndCheese · 11/12/2018 21:35

A woman in my street asked me when and where the nearest bus leaves from to get to town. I said I didn’t know as I have a car.
As I walked towards my car she said ‘oh I will just get a lift with you instead then’ Confused.
She had the nerve to give me evils when I told her I wasn’t going to town as I was visiting my parents.
So yeah all bus people are weird bus wankers

borntobequiet · 11/12/2018 21:38

I like buses and have never been asked to share treats when travelling on them. Perhaps I look too scary.

thefinn · 11/12/2018 21:40

Pretty sure it really did happen, if not such things LIKE happen very often in buses. No need to feel bad op but would't label the woman a CF either just based on this x

Fuzzywig · 11/12/2018 21:40

Jeez I can’t believe a stranger on the bus asked to eat your mince pie fudge how greedy/grabby of her!

OP can I have some of your fudge whilst I read the comments?

Go on, I know you have some.... I can see it in your handbag 🍫👜

thefinn · 11/12/2018 21:41

meant to write things like this without caps

UtterClusterFluff · 11/12/2018 21:41

Once when I was pregnant I sat next to a women on the bus holding a paper bakery type bag. It smelt so amazing I couldn't stop thinking about it so I asked her what it was. I've just realised I was a bus weirdo that day...

She probably thought I was hinting for some!

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 11/12/2018 21:42

Definitely missing a few social skills and awareness there

Bless her ! That’s made me giggle

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 11/12/2018 21:43

People are strange and that’s life
Doesn’t mean she is bad or weird

Just .... different

Sparklesocks · 11/12/2018 21:43

I was once in a pub with a boyfriend eating a lovely bowl of chips and a woman walked by and asked if she could have a couple as they looked so good(!!) - people are very cheeky!

MadameButterface · 11/12/2018 21:44

“Pretty sure it really did happen”

Oh i am a total cynic and hardly believe half of what i read on here, but as a lifelong avid pedestrian/peasant/user of public transport i believe this 100%

There was a man smoking a bong, an actual full size bong, in the bus shelter last time i got a bus home from town in an evening. You see all of human life when you take the bus

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 11/12/2018 21:48

Why is there always one who comments on these threads about the evils of cars? They're usually the type that go on foreign holidays in a plane Hmm

Hwory · 11/12/2018 21:48

I spend two hours a day mon-fri on buses.

People are fucking weirdos I just sit there hoping no one talks to me or tries to touch me I can’t wait to either pass my test or get a new job. Roll on which ever comes first.

Ontheboardwalk · 11/12/2018 21:56

I would stab you with my fork if you asked for my food and I wasn’t up for sharing.

Mona keep a fork in your hand everytime you get on a bus just incase you come across them again

Poppyinagreenfield · 11/12/2018 22:01

I always offer the person next to me a piece. It’s rude not to. Quite often they accept. A simple gesture can make a lot of difference.

You never know what the person next to you us going through.

KennDodd · 11/12/2018 22:01

You should have given her a bit. Meanie Grin

Wigwambam10 · 11/12/2018 22:04

I once got my ponytail cut off on the bus while having an epileptic fit. So yep strange people on buses

SnowyPaws5 · 11/12/2018 22:06

Where do I buy mince pie fudge please???

SomethingAboutNothing · 11/12/2018 22:07

YouSmell the same thing happened to me but I gave her a lift. She stank of booze! I used to see her heading to the village shop to buy more alcohol and chuckle. Then I stopped seeing her Sad

thisonebreath · 11/12/2018 22:07

Total oddball CF.

Also, @MadameButterface I haven't heard the term 'massive benny' in aaages! Proper lol at that. Grin

katekat383 · 11/12/2018 22:07

Weirdo woman.

thisonebreath · 11/12/2018 22:08

@Wigwambam10 Shock That's appalling!
