no! don't do it! if you ever need a reason to die, interact with the general public

although the public i interact with are not 'general' in anyway.

the guy caught masturbating into the mushrooms was certainly not your average joe

I think his guitar had no strap, which was odd for a busker who liked to dance.

He's awesome! I didn't know he was still around! He just makes up wee songs, he's a lovely chap.

I've never seen the guy with the one chord and no strap, but the growling bastard isn't even supposed to be aloud to busk there anymore. He sexualy harrased to 2 girls and was taken to court about it.

I know the guy you mean Matt, it's a guy my friend Kris knows. Jason is his name i think. Really good singer, his loud voice normally drowns out his one chord anyway.

Aye thats the one! I used to tell my friends about him then when they came to Dundee to visit he was never there so folk thought I was lying.

tales from the bus ..
I was on a bus one day (as you dou) minding my own buisness and a women walks on and its chatiing away quite loadly, so i assme shes on a mobile but when she turns round theres no mobile, so the next sensible thing would be a hands free thing but no , no hands free. She managed to keep a whole conversation going with herself all the way down town, apparently she has 2 kids works 2o hours a week and is going to visit john next wedensday.

tales from mcd's

customer: Can i have a big mac, medium chips, and a medium drink.
me: you want the meal then.?
customer: No !
Me: charges him full price

customer:whats on your cheesbugers ???
me: cheese ketchup pickle and dehydrated onions
customer: do u not get chips with it ???
me: err..

also doesnt it irratate you when theres a big price boared next tou your till and a huge menu above your head but people still like to ask how much something costs or what we actually sell?

I always saw a woman on the bus who talked really loud, was she rather large with grey/white hair and a big wart on her face somewhere. She talks to a friend who is the other side of the bus replying really quietly.

I was also gonna add that those hands free thingys means its difficult to spot the real nutters in the street!

the growling guy told me he was elvis one day, he even put on the accent.
theres another guy who busks in the wee tunnel next to grouchos who plays smiths songs, i talked to him for a good 10 minutes one day before he randomly came out with "are you canadian by the way?"

has anyone ever talked to the american jesus man?
he scares me a little.

Freaky Tale from Tesco Riverside!!!
I have worked there about 1 and a half years now, and wierd stuff always happens but this was exceptionally freaky!!

Lady comes up to me and asks if I have seen her dog!!
ME: is he tied up outside?
Her:no no i left him in the fruit and veg bit
ME:WHAT!!! sorry u cannot bring pets into the store, where is he?
Her: oh he is not really a pet, more like a son. I went back to get him but he was gone. I am worreid because he gets scared on his own and bites!(children really annoy him)
ME:WHAT u have a dog that bites running around the store.
So i ran up to the fruit and veg and there is a lead tied round the apple stand!!
STARTING TO PANIC!! asking ppl if they have seen a dog. then i ask what it looks like...............
HER: small, brown, has wheels, kinda scruffy............
ME: WHEELS!?!?!?!?!?!

conclusion- she was crazy and found her toy "DOG" in her trolley where she had put it!!!
