So anybody who goes frequently on public transport (particularly in car designed places) will know that there are two main types of user in peak hours, the green types who choose public transport as a lifestyle choice and those who have to use it by necessity - including the disabled.
There is a joke that goes:
Bus stops at bus stop, Man 1 gets on pulls face at other passengers, rifles through his many plastic bags and starts swearing. Man 2 at the back of the bus calls out, 'it's alright mate this ones covered', Man 1 says 'OK cheers mate' and gets off.
This is funny because it is always known that one mad person on a bus is always present, and that maybe they have a system going.
This morning however, the system obviously wasn't working as I was treated to 2, yes 2, people with Tourettes on my bus (318 to Civic if you must know). The first Tourettes got on at Woden, and started shouting Teeeeveeeeee Teeeeeeveeeee which was then followed by long chants of wankwankwankwankwankwankwank, which seemed to start off another further down the bus who started saying Fuck repeatedly in a very growly way, this went on till we got to Parliament House (no they weren't politicians, they just calmed down a bit by then).
I wish I had had the sense to have joined in, but like rejoinders, they only come to you after the event.
