October And A Bus Ride..

It's October! -le gasp!- October is an odd month. For me, anyway. There are birthdays and anniversaries, and HALLOWEEN, and the beginning of the Charlie Brown specials. Ah, Charlie Brown... one of the few cartoons of my childhood that never gets old. But, I've already been nostalgic... so, I'm not really sure why I'm typing. But, I would like to comment on a weird thing that happened yesterday on the bus. Two things, actually. So, I was sitting on the bus and listening to music and then a lady comes on the bus and she was eating an apple. It's not weird or anything, but I'm mentioning it because I usually see people eating fast food or drinking coffee on the bus, so this was quite different. Hooray for you, healthy person. Anyway, after that, these two girls got on the bus, and they were obviously high school students. And they began gossiping literally like this:
"I mean, I heard it from Amy, who heard it from Paul, who heard it from Wes, but it's supposed to be a secret, so don't tell anyone." [Note: I changed the names.]
Now, while they were in the middle of this, I just wanted to start laughing. As far as I know, I don't think I've ever had a conversation where I actually listed the stops on the gossip train. Maybe I'm just weird, but I found that really weird and not normal... But then again, neither am I, so I don't know... it just seemed like it was a scene out of a parody of an actual teenage drama show? =X
Well anyway, that was my lame adventure, and here's the challenge: Have you ever had any odd or weird encounters on the train/bus/in traffic/etc.? Maybe someone pulled your hair and tried to braid it. Or maybe someone tried to sell you batteries? Or maybe that's just me... Whatever it is, leave it in a comment or such.
