in being cross at the girl on the very crowded commuter-stuffed bus who decided to peel and eat a satsuma?

Two reasons I am pissed off at this. One is, I do think that eating something very odiferous in a confined public space is anti-social....there is no escape from it...(even healthy foods)

second, and I do know this shouldn't really come into it, but its an hour long bus journey for ds who has dyspraxia, and he has trouble with travel sickness AND is a supertaster....literally throws up in the presence of oranges being peeled and eaten. She was sitting right opposite him.

I saw how he was trying to control himself, but it was clear he wasn't going to make it. So I manage to get him off the bus, for him to throw up all overhimself, and poor wee lad has to walk 25 mins in the freezing cold without his top layer....

Possibly IABU.

Was it a bendy bus ? I can't sit anywhere other than the front bit, and I can only face forwards. I'm a martyr to me travel sickness.

MadameDefarge · 08/03/2010 18:33

no. It was a nasty double decker style one.

I love the bendy buses. Danced jigs of happiness when they were introduced. Yes, the old routemasters were things of beauty, but the whole getting on and off with buggy and baby and stuff, if you were even allowed on....good riddance I say....

MadameDefarge · 08/03/2010 18:34

sitting on top at the front is our favourite seat....that works a treat....

sitting downstairs over a rumbling engine does not.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 08/03/2010 18:36

Oh, no, don't get me wrong. I thought that whole bring back the Routemaster thing was ridiculous - obviously run by people who had never been old, disabled, or had a pushchair. Just wish they didn't make me sick

MadameDefarge · 08/03/2010 18:36

when I say nasty double decker, I mean not that double deckers are nasty, just some of those styles are less salubrious than others....

OP posts:
Jamieandhismagictorch · 08/03/2010 18:36

Yes, top front.

MadameDefarge · 08/03/2010 18:37

poor Jamie. I feel your pain.

OP posts:
Jamieandhismagictorch · 08/03/2010 18:37

Yes

Jamieandhismagictorch · 08/03/2010 18:39

Thanks . Have we driven everyone else away ? Hully would be proud ...... Safe thread steerage triumphs again !

MadameDefarge · 08/03/2010 18:40

I do hope so. I don't think I can take anymore poking with pointy sticks.
