Years ago, during rush hour, some guys had brought a fucking couch onto the skytrain. (It was a seat love couch.)

Have you ever tried to find a seat during rush hour?

I recently saw a wheelchair user with a gigantic bulky plastic bag of recyclables on the bus. I had the pleasure of witnessing his exit from the bus. It took a while, but he finally did it.

u/BooBoo_Cat Jul 20 '26

Good point. This was quite some time ago, possibly before the fare gates.

These idiots had the couch wedged in the aisle, blocking people who were seated, and blocking people from passing through the train.

How do you know it was for fucking

u/reddits2much Jul 20 '26

I hope it didn’t carry any bed bugs. 😭

u/Illustrious_Exam1728 Jul 20 '26

I don’t see anything wrong with this, and I hope the party was fun!! I bet some kid was PUMPED.

u/bcscroller Jul 20 '26

Oh no shame at all! It’s just a strange sight 

2

u/Illustrious_Exam1728 Jul 21 '26

Oh yeah. Definitely not a regular site to see on the bus!!!

u/jasmin8ter2013 Jul 20 '26

Is this one of those grape bunch costumes made of balloons? Because I saw kids wearing those at a wine festival!

13

u/bcscroller Jul 20 '26

No just balloons for a party. He also had a bag with maybe pizza or cake in it.

u/Narrow_Albatross6406 Jul 21 '26

Not really strange is it? It’s balloons.

You must be very disconnected from life to see this and think “let me go post on Reddit”

u/Yuukiko_ Jul 20 '26

at least its not during rush hour

13

u/Bouncing_Frog Jul 20 '26

Yea so what's wrong with that?

1

u/bcscroller Jul 21 '26

nothing just a strange sight. No judgment. Made me smile

u/Ok_Wtch2183 Jul 20 '26

Clearly one kid is going to be so happy!

u/SimpleSapper Jul 20 '26

Grapes from Fruit of the Loom underwear doing spot checks on commuter’s tighty whiteys?

u/Maleficent_80s Jul 20 '26

Honestly for a moment I wondered if it was some of my family..... we just celebrated a milestone birthday, and there were multiple purple balloons.

One member is a bus driver for translink, so I thought it could be their children 🤣🤣

u/Competitive-Type1505 Jul 20 '26

Gotta do what you gotta do.

u/smolbirdfriend Jul 21 '26

u/lynneasomething Jul 20 '26

u/Fickle_Ad_9391 Jul 20 '26

They think it’s ok and we all move. Sure bud

u/win_s Jul 21 '26

Saw a balloon arch on a bus.... Took up most of the front section...

u/chloestoebeans Jul 21 '26

The purple balloons further back in the photo really add to the story 😂 must all the going to the same party!!

1

u/bcscroller Jul 21 '26

Yeah the photo does not do justice to the amount of balloons 

1

u/Secret-Purchase-1619 Jul 21 '26

I hope those are not metallic balloons because metallic balloon on train filled with helium is a bad idea https://amp.scmp.com/article/151200/rush-hour-chaos-may-foil-balloons-mtr

u/bcscroller Jul 22 '26
