Snogging On The Bus

After our garden resurrection (read: tidy up) and it being officially the first proper nice day for a barbecue. Me and Jeff decided upon heading to Tesco for the usual supplies. You know, Disposable BBQ’s meat, corn on the cob and booze.

Once supplied, being so lazy, decided to get the 5 minute bus ride home (hey Jeff had 20 bottles of Stella to carry!) . It’s two stops. Should be pretty eventful right? Well not really…

The first stop a middle aged woman got on and commented on my threadless t-shirt

Ok fair enough we talked about it briefly and the conversation fizzled out like it should. Then she mentioned something about her cat. Ok.. now I knew she had passed the limit on public transport stranger conversation etiquette, so we kind of grunted and quietly ignored her.

Then we passed the common and she commented on the couples snogging in the park…

And then suddenly, as we got to the final bus stop she asked Jeff, recent engagee, if he fancied a snog. Jeff politely declined. Fair play though she admitted you don’t get unless you try.

Then she asked the bus driver for one as we all got off the bus. He said no too. He did have that protective glass thing so it may have been tricky anyway.

Then probably realising she has failed on the male passengers (did she ask me though?) she asked the female passenger leaving the bus. She said no too.

The last I hear the other woman was tying to spur her advances by saying she doesn’t “kiss” that way. Jeff and I started walking home that last 5 mins a bit quicker…

Summer is here.
