I hate taking the bus, or the subway for that matter.

Here's a situation I find myself encountering way too often (this morning, for instance):

I take my seat on the bus, and lazily rub the sleep from my eyes. It's way too early, and I hope I can at least have a comfortable ride to work.

My shoulders are fairly wide, so I tend to overhang a bit into the next seat.

Anyway, I'm sitting there and some very large woman lumbers towards me (I really do encounter more morbidly obese women than men). She decides to sit next to me. So, she begins to slide in towards the seat adjacent to me. In the process, her extra-wide posterior comes to a momentary stop on my shoulder.

Like a running back stiff-arming through a defensive line, the woman's downward momentum drives through my shoulder. She ends up sitting comfortable, while one of my shoulders is now lower than the other.

I really hate public transportation.
