Princess in Pink Smells Fresh
Four stops before I exit the bus every morning (actual 80% of my mornings) a girl enters who I call the Princess in Pink. She wears skin-tight, faded blue jeans (sometimes with embroidering work) and always a soft pink jacket with froo-froo edging. She has blond, curly hair that is parted down the center. She usually sits towards the front (like me), but sometimes has to stand if the bus is full. Today she sat directly next to me and she smelled surprisingly fresh. Not perfumy. Not like flowers or fruit. But fresh and soapy.
Man Sniffles Four Times a Minute
After work on Friday, I switched seats on the bus half way through my ride. Someone exited the handicapped seating and I thought I would snatch it up before someone else did. The guy behind me sniffled CONSTANTLY. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and figured he maybe just got in from the cold. However, the sniffles continued so I decided to record their frequency so I could tell whether he was actually sniffling constantly or if I was over reacting. You be the judge. (The timer was reset after every major snort... scroll down for the exciting table....)
Average Noise Disturbance: 20 Seconds
Average Snort: 47 Seconds

I bet she did a write up on you in HER blog.Something like, sat next to this dude on the bus and he kept snorting, wondering why the Hell he was..
