Woman on the bus wanted half my fudge...

[MonaLisaDoesntSmile]

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?

@SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed can’t believe you just let him sleep on your shoulder! I’d have pushed him off!

@SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed - was that woman about to leave her baby on their own!!!???

I have also had the "stranger fall asleep on my shoulder" scenario while on public transport.
Seeing this, another passenger asked me if he was dead

I have also been given a bag of oranges while waiting at a bus stop. When on the bus, sudden braking caused the oranges to fall. As the bus went uphill, the oranges went down the bus...as it went uphill, they rolled the other way, with other passengers trying to catch the errant fruits...

You can buy mince pie fudge from Wilko

I nearly complimented a girl at the bus stop on her bag this morning. Glad I didn't now .

A couple of years ago while waiting for the bus an elderly chap asked me if I had a calculator, and told me various things to add and subtract. I wasn't sure why he needed all the adding and subtracting, and I did fear the answer was going to be 8OO85 (BOOBS), but it was some maths trick that told me my exact age regardless of the number we started with (and it did). I think he was a bit lonely, so I played along, but I was also glad when the bus came.

Usually, though, I rely on my crabby resting face to keep people away. Now I also know not to eat fudge that I am shortly going to buy from Waitrose

I've ordered some mince pie fudge from
Ocado with the Christmas order. I love Mumsnet.

do trains count too? When I was 18, I sat at a table and someone who knew who I was because of mutual friends sat down opposite. I’d never heard or seen him before. He then proceeded to quiz me about what I thought the meaning of life was before pulling out one of those huge tubs of protein powder you get from Holland and Barrets and started eating it with a spoon. He then tried to give me a spoon to share. I was very glad when I realised I wasn’t getting off at the same stop as him.

CF Cheeky Fudger!

@MadameButterface another nostalgic lol at 'massive benny' - haven't heard that since me and DB were kids!

I must be odd because weird fudge-cadging bus people are one reason I love public transport. All of life is there.

My local ALDI was out of mince pie fudge but I found cranberry and clementine instead. For those who don’t like flavoured fudge they do a cracking looking clotted cream one. My mission will continue, larger ALDIs to be visited, Wilkos and Waitrose.

god I hate the bus. At the vets recently I had a 70 year old man ask me for some fags as he didn’t get his pension until the next day and he needed a joint when he got home I gave him some.

Do you really think MN is the right place for you? Hmm? Do you?

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.

CF but sounds like she was more bothered by the lie.

I'd have given her a square of the bloody fudge. Christmas cheer and all that.

? I'd have got off the damn bus.

We had a bus experience today !

So last week my DC left their gloves on the bus

Today a woman kindly returned the gloves ! Not sure if she had them for a week or saw on floor

DC happy put gloves on but then we all noticed a strange bad smell

It was the gloves ! They smelt like they had been pickled in dustbin juice for a week

DC face of disgust

We still said thanks to the lady though

I'm amazed at so many people having an aversion to using the bus. Never thought of such a thing before. I have a nice car but use buses all the time.

I am a bus chatterer magnet, people tell me all sorts of life stories but I actually quite like it

What I really hate is the ones sneezing and coughing who sit directly behind you. Ick.

Though at the end of a really long trip one,a woman who'd been perfectly polite and normal up to then asked me if I was her religion. When I said I wasn't she said oh, shame, here, take this picture and kiss it daily and it'll be ok

She's obviously a very unusual character. The fact that she kept asking tells you all you need to know.
TBH, I would have given her some. Her behaviour indicates she has something else going on other than CFkery.
