Overheard on the Intertown
« on: March 03, 2010, 07:15:38 PM »
You know the situation. You're sitting on the Intertown, and you overhear conversations.

I reckon if we chuck them all into this one thread, it'll be a good laugh for all involved.

Here's one from this evening:


(Intertown is arriving at Woden)

Girl 1: Oi,  Let's get off here..
Girl 2: Nahhhh man, look: Coppers! Let's stay on
Girl 1: Nah fuck that, I'm not goin' to fuckin' Tuggeranong, let's just get off here

There is a section in the MX newspaper in sydney called 'Overheard'....

Maybe ACT BUS should distribute a free newspaper for ACTION commuters :P

That's actually not a bad idea.....

At first, it would cost considerably with printing costs and whatnot, but once advertisements start, it pays for itself!

Not exactly overheard but the funniest thing that I ever saw on the buses happened on a 314 on a Saturday arvo a few years back.

Heading north I picked up two extremely dubious looking characters at the Melrose Dr stop. They were unshaven, wearing beanies and one had a very large sports bag which was nearly bursting. They looked like they'd just done a burglary. I got into Civic and this somewhat down on his luck looking man got on and said that another similar character who had already boarded had just asaulted him and stolen his wallet. I asked if it would be OK if I got the cops to meet us at Belconnen as I was due to leave and didn't want to arouse the alleged mugger's suspicion by waiting around too long. The guy agreed and I headed off. The mugger got off on College St avoiding the 6 cops who were waiting for me at the interchange although they apparently caught him later. The two 'burglars' got off on Southern Cross Dr with one saying to me as he got off, "you sure know how to scare a bloke mate".

Another gem from yesterday's "Girl 1"

Girl 1: "Yeah, Jason was the only boyfriend I've never cheated on"
Girl 2: (laughs) "You slut!"

reminds me of the young lady I listened to on the bus a few years back, bragging about how she breached her bail by travelling on the bus to Tuggeranong, she didn't care about the police and was going back.

I remember how I was sitting on an Intertown listening to this chick talking about how she was bisexual with some guy and how her longest relationship was a month. She then talked about how she was a child care worker at an after school program.

The next day I walked in to Weetangra after school program to pick up my, at the time, foster brother (my mum is a carer for those that don't know) and there was this chick who was on the bus the day before.

While I try and not listen to people, and can't remember anyone's conversations anyway... OMFG can we get a mute button for girls between the ages of 8-28?

I don't care about your bf/school/where that file went/how much you hate the bus/etc...

I just hate loud talkers and they make me stabby >:(

On Friday arvo, it was route 314 that leaves civic at 428.

These 3 deadshit guys, apart from arguing if they should go to the belco labor club or not, were discussing one of their "gfs" childbirths, and how they had to put scrubs on, for a c-sec. He said he couldn't look when it was going on, but went to her after the baby was out, and could see all her inside bits (stomach, not v*****)...  :o

While waiting on the bus in civic today, this drugged up/homeless? dude was laughing a lot, really loudly.

He was going through the bin, finding coffees that people hadn't finished and drinking them.. and kept laughing... and laughing.. and laughing.

From a few weeks ago:
Bogan: {talking to her baby} Are we going to go home and watch fairies?
Spastic Guy: Is that Tinkerbell or something?
Bogan: No it's a show called fairies
Spastic: When's it on?
Bogan: It's on ABC for half an hour from 4pm till 5:30pm
