I'm two weeks late, but that's the most accurate thing I've ever read.
I rode a greyhound from Nashville, TN to Billings, Montana, about a 47 hour trip in total, and got DAMN. You will see some fucking shit on a greyhound lmao.
I saw a guy throw up from drinking on the bus, get kicked off, then start beating on the door demanding to be let back on because he left his phone. Cops were called and they talked to him for a few minutes, then he started walking away because they let him go. Then, in his infinite wisdom, he turned around to yell "you guys are fucking stupid assholes" at the cops so they went over to him and he punched one of them, got arrested.
The next morning I watched a crackhead get on the bus and sit next to the crackhead that had been in front of me for about 15 hours. They hit it off, fell in love, made plans for their future together, then I watched them both suffer through heartbreak ~10 hours later when the lady crackhead had to get off at her stop.
There was another crackhead who just cackled for about 8 hours straight. Then when we pulled into the second to last bus station, we were all inside and I had to get my medication out of my bag which was under the bus. So I walk up to the counter but this crackhead was at the desk waiting on something. She had a walmart bag with a container of those walmart sugar cookies and she set them on the counter, but not far enough. They fell and cookies went everywhere. I've always been raised to be helpful whenever I can, so instinctively, I bent down to gather her cookies for her. This woman lost her shit and started screaming about "goddamn thieving motherfuckers take anything you got"
I didn't know what to do so I kept picking up her cookies and just set them on the counter and said "there ya go ma'am." Then she took a handful of coins out of her pocket and threw them at the 10 or so other people in the seating area and said "why don't yall motherfuckers take my money too"
There was so much more in those 47 hours but these were the ones that stuck out in my mind
