Awkward Encounters “Bus Stop Marriage Advice”
Awkward Encounters “Bus Stop Marriage Advice”
While waiting at a bus stop in Orange County I got an ear full of simple marriage advice on why I should not get married from a nice Vietnamese woman. She was steadfast in her belief that if my girlfriend was happy now… She would not be once we got hitched.
I love talking to people in public places. You end up getting great stories to pass along. Armed with my trusty iPhone 3Gs I was able to capture this moment in time.
Now you tell me your story!
Edited with iMovie… Footage from insight cam… and iPhone 3Gs
Thank you to my friend Ryan S. for editing, and creative suggestions.

3 kids (about 13, 10 and 5 yo) got on my bus. The driver asks youngest:
How old are you?
KID: 5
Driver: Say “4″ when I ask you again.
KID: OK
Driver: How old are you?
Kid: 4
Driver: Oh, you travel for free. You can use your fare to buy an ice-cream. Now if anyone else asks you how old you are you must say 4, OK?
KID: OK
A ticket inspector got on two stops later and said to the kid:
How old are you?
KID:4. I’m 5 really, but the driver said I should tell people I’m 4. TRUE!

When I was on …
When I was on Nantucket a while ago (on my honeymoon!) I was waiting on the bus on the last day there on my way to the airport to leave… we had fifteen minutes, so I whipped out my uke. I wasn’t busking, just entertaining myself. This guy came up and started talking to my wife, making small talk, and giving me frequent compliments on my playing. I found out that he owned stores and had a private plane and was obviously filthy stinking rich.
Why wasn’t I busking? That would have been awesome.

I got off a bus near my house in NJ and walked to a 7-11 for a slurpee and I was standing outside with a friend while he finished his cancer-stick when a guy walked out of the store stoned as and started talking to us with us saying that there was nothing to do here except get drunk in his aunt’s basement every night. Upon finishing his hersey’s cookiesncream bar he leaned in close to me and said “I’ve got cookies and cream, all up in my dream”. A quote I like to live by..

My awkward public …
My awkward public transportation story: while I was waiting for the bus in Germany,a bunch of 15 yr old boys came over & asked me where I was from.I said the US, & they asked a question I didn’t understand…so I said yes.They repeated it, and I answered yes again. One yelled “30 euros!” I asked them to explain.Turns out they’d been asking me if I would have sex with them for money, & I’d been saying yes.I thought it was funny until I realized they’d only offered me 30 euros, then I was just mad

on the el i had my uke and an elderly african-american man decided to ask me what i played, and i told him and his eyes lit up. and he says, ‘that says a lot about you, there aren’t a lot of people that play that around here’, and somehow we got into conversation about basically me entire life, and how right now i really,really want to leave everything and move to sweden. i told him how everyone thinks i’m nuts for it, but he encouraged it. after an hour he left, and i was left smiling.

…… there isn’t enough time to explain my adventures on public transportation. i’ve been taking it for what um…7 years now? and for the past year i’ve had a 2 hour commute one way first hopping on a bus, to transfer to an el train, to transfer to a regional rail train.. and let me tell you the public trans in philly has got to be the most godawful thing ever. i’d be driving if only i didn’t have a fear of it. okay but i’ll share a nice encounter i had in a new comment box
