Today, I got on the Megabus for a 6-hour journey from London to Plymouth. I then realised I'd forgotten to fill up my water bottle and charge my iPod. It's a fully packed, sweaty hot loud coach. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my clueless British boss booked me on a six hour Greyhound bus trip for work. He doesn't know what happens on American buses: the endless delays and stops, the drugs, the sharts… FML
Today, the bus I needed to catch, that replaced the train I needed to catch, to get the flight home was full. I had to get a taxi instead. £140 to the nearest working train station. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the bus after a long day. I woke up to the driver nudging me, saying, "End of the line, mate." I had no idea where I was, and it was raining. FML
Today, the coach bus I was riding almost crashed. I was using the restroom at the time. The bus braked so hard, I peed all over the wall and splashed my shirt. Nobody wanted to sit anywhere near me after that. FML
Today, I got on a bus that was so overcrowded I had to stand next to the driver with nothing to hang on to. A drunk man got on and for the rest of the half hour journey continuously fell on me. When I got off, he smiled and told me as the doors were closing, "The last twelve times was for fun." FML
Today, I stood for half an hour in the rain waiting for my bus. As I started to go inside, my bus turned around the corner and splashed water all over me. The bus driver wouldn't let me on the bus because I was soaking wet and I would "mess up the seats". FML
Today, while getting on a city bus, I sat down on a urine-soaked seat. FML
Today, I had to catch a coach to London at 4 in the morning. I was late so I had to take any free seat, so sat down next to a seemingly sweet old man. Within ten minutes, the sweet old man was trying to kiss me and trying to pull me on top of him. Nobody said anything. The journey was 4 hours long. FML
Today, I was traveling by bus. There were no spare seats, so I stood next to a seated lady. When she got off at her stop, I was amused because her bum made the shape of a mushroom on the seat. I went to sit on it. So I'm sitting there when I realise the seat is really warm... and wet. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the bus and when I woke up, I found out that I missed my stop by ten stops and I was on the last bus of the night. And, to make matters worse, a drunk hobo was sitting next to me with a beer in one hand and was rubbing my leg with the other. FML

If you hold your breath long enough, all your problems will go away and you'll be able to sleep forever.

Well, this is really nothing serious. You should have thought about that beforehand. I still feel bad for you having to be on a bus like that. Hopefully you survive/survived!

It's like getting on a 6 hour flight and not bringing anything with you. except you had the choice to bring water. ydi

You’ll have to resort to 20th century solutions like “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.” Back in the day, instead of having pre-recorded singing pumped into our ears, we’d actually do the singing! Try that on a crowded bus, and you’ll get a row to yourself.

This is so morbid, but why the hell am I laughing so hard?

No, you’ll just pass out and regain consciousness in a little while. If you can get the friendly passenger next to you to hold a pillow on your face, you can achieve the desired outcome.

That's weird. I was in England last month visiting family, and the coach we took from the airport had USB ports next to every seat. Doesn't this Megabus thing do that, too?
