Good old Toronto Transit. Most of my memories from anything involving the TTC involve insane drunks on the subway back from a Leafs game, or being pleaded with for money when I was like 9.

Probably the most memorable took place when I was in high school. Taking the scummy f*cking buses downtown at rush hour during June. You've got 90 people crammed into a bus with 40 seats.

Now, I'm not trying to sound racist, but Ontario and Toronto in particular is super multicultural and full of so many different races, so you've got a lot of people on these buses who seemingly don't know what deodorant is. Dunking your clothes in AXE before leaving the house doesn't exactly make you CLEAN and the lingering smell of stale cologne and horrible BO is f*cking brutal on those buses at that time of day, combined with the fact that all these people standing are having to lift their arms to hold the overhead bar.

So we stop, dude squeezes on the bus and he's on for all of 20 seconds before he starts hurling all over the place. Again, bus is packed so he's drenching people in vomit. You ever been on a plane where one person gets air sick and the sound of them blowing chunks makes other people start to feel queasy and before you know it half the cabin is letting rip? You get it, except on an overcrowded bus and the vomit isn't just collecting in a bag. Bus driver opens the doors and everyone scatters. Some people are laughing, some are still gagging. Dude who started it all gets off the bus and just screams "YOU PEOPLE SMELL LIKE ****!" I laughed so hard I almost died.
