It is unbelievably gross to see a super dirty person on the bus. It makes you wonder: before I got on, was s/he sitting here? Hmm.. even if not, who knows who was?!
Then I feel bad. What if the person is homeless, so doesn't have access to a shower, and panned all day to get bus fare to visit their dying relative? Wait.. is that.. a bus pass?! Ok, so this revolting lack of hygene is a choice then. Scratch feeling bad. Back to feeling disgusted. Back to getting my ass off this questionable seat.
Yea for public transportation!

turnstiles:
yes, very well said, disgusted is the right reaction.
freudianstrip:
Don't miss public transportation at ALL... aside from the hygeine issues... there always seemed to be one or two of the "Religion Conversionists" on the bus... trying to get everyone to switch to their skewed view of how the universe works...
