- A driver singing "All Along the Watchtower" without any accompaniment but the music in his head.
- Another driver singing "Loving You" (all at once now: is easy cause you're beautiful...) while it played on the radio - she tried to hit the E above High C. Doo doo doo doooooo. Ow.
- Still a different driver berating a woman in a wheelchair for letting other people on ahead of her. Apparently, he needs to lower the ramp first to ensure he doesn't pass her by and get a bad report. He got one anyway. I called in and ratted him out for yelling at a lady in a fucking wheelchair.
- A boy of maybe 16 very obviously looking to hustle. He appeared to be coming down off of something.
- Several people getting on to the bus with newly-bought televisions in tow.
- Random snippets of people's life stories. If I had the time, I would ride until the end of the line and back again just to eavesdrop. It's amazing what people will tell complete strangers when you considering how much we keep from those closest to us. One fellow claimed to have won the lottery only to lose it all to a greedy ex-wife. He fessed up to the fact that he owed hundreds of thousands in back child support but was sure the Lord would get him some more winnings soon. He hitchhiked from New York to L.A. - it apparently took a month.
