"...Want to sit on the inside?"
Had busy, busy, bizarre day. Will post the funniest thing that's ever happened to me on a bus (apart from the time Damian accidentally pushed someone down the stairs.)
So, Kev and Karl got on the bus, me waiting for Nicole to text about whether she's coming back into town or not. She texts telling me to go on home, so I jump on the bus. Now, Karl was occupying a seat facing Kev, and Kev had taken the window seat, facing Karl and the back of the bus. The seat next to him, by the aisle, was the only easily-accessible one, so I parked my bum there and conversation happened.
Now, this was a Bendy Bus. If you dunno what that is, it's a bus the length of TWO buses, connected by a little... well, bendy bit. This increases, somehow, the g-force at the back. And my back was facing the front. This is the main factor of what happened next.
So, we're going round a sharp corner. The first half of the bus turns, and I notice that I'm really unsteady in my seat, but take no notice. Suddenly the driver stands on the pedal, because we shoot forward, our half of the bus swinging round the corner at god knows what speed. Kev and Karl grab on to the nearest bars, but there's nothing for me to hold on to.
I'm literally FLUNG across the aisle, my feet not touching the ground, dive-bombing the opposite window with my NOSE. I heard a sickening crunching sound before slithing to the ground. I attempt to stand up right as we take the next corner with the same ludicrous speed. Unbalanced, I'm thrown back across the aisle, past Kev and Karl, and into the other window. Again. On my nose.
I stumbled back, tripped over Karl's feet and landed precariously in his lap.
Karl: *Actually looks like this: 8-O * "Fuck! You okay?"
Kev: *Silent shaking (laughter)*
Me: "I thik I broke by dose."
When the pain subsided enough for me to think, we started laughing uncontrollably, for quite some time. Karl was quite afraid I might do another display of bad acrobatics so he moved his bag for me to sit on the inside (title) and we discussed the incident the whole way home.
Don't get me wrong, I am quite concerned that I've broken my nose, but it was fucking hilarious. I wish someone'd had a camera, would love to see it in slow-motion. Kev thinks the best bit was my expression when I realized I was going to go flying again, and then Karl's expression as I whizzed past and into the window, then his lap.
So. Fucking. Funny.
