My seat mate knocked my head (oucccchhh)

Traveling by bus for a long journey can be a lot of fun to me, too. I remember going by bus. I don't remember the seat number. What I remember was that next to my seat was still not taken. Since I was too tired I did not mind who ever would take the seat. As soon as I was seated, I soon fell asleep. Suddenly I woke up as I felt a burden on my right shoulder. When I saw it, it was a head of a passenger sitting next to me. I just the head lean on me. She seemed tired and sleepy.

that's funny... maybe you should wear a helmet next time. but I'm just wondering if the lady beside you is clumsy...

thats was something....maybe next time you should wear a helmet when riding a bus...lol

Hi jai Happy to see you here again! From what I can understand here is that the same lady has been banging her head to you and her friend. LoL! Is she also sleeping? I can imagine how it feels when you suddenly knocked your head on someone.. that hurts, really! Where are you heading, jai? You seem to be travelling a lot huh. Take care and enjoy the trip.

Haha, that is just the kind of experience one can expect when traveling alone without someone to surely occupy the seat beside you. I do travel a lot sometimes through express bus or coach and flight. So sometimes I will be traveling with my girlfriend yet sometimes alone. So whenever my girlfriend is sitting beside me, the most would happen was her head falling on my shoulder which was quite a sweet experience. On the other hand, when it was someone else sitting beside me, I saw most of them hitting their heads here and there while I tried my best to stay away from them.

Oh I'm so sorry, looks like you will never have some quality nap time on the bus. These things do happen, and well it is one of the reasons why I rarely travel alone.

Hi Jai! You see it is all because you fell asleep. ........ LoL! Had you remained awake through out the journey, you would not have allowed the other lady to bang her head on you. You would have got alerted and prevented her head knocking you. Next time it would be better to remain awake instead of spending amount on buying two tickets......lol!

That must have been an awful bus trip for 6 hours with the other passenger banging your head. It is a good idea to pay for two seats in order to avoid such a nasty incident. There is little personal place on bus seats in my experience. I traveled on a plane in Colombia from its capital city to the coastline. A man's bag fell on my foot and hurt it. I spent my trip limping around due to that incident. Last year I traveled again to other countries in South America. My kids and I spent a lot of time on long distance buses overnight. On one of them we had a rough night traveling across Argentina. Then we got to ride on the upper deck on a coach. The views of the mountains were lovely. Our next trip will be by train across to Eastern Europe. The highlights of our trip will be the Ukraine and Moldova. We will be sleeping in 2 bunk compartments on the trains. I am so excited about our departure in May. We will have more room that if we went on a train, bus or a coach. Good luck on your next trip.

Jane beti I am happy you are back after enjoying the trip, i and kalyani too are back. Thanks for sharing the story, in bus journey particularly long and over night journey it is so common; long back say 45 years ago, i was travelling by bus to Berhampur, a lady same age as me sat in the adjacent seat of the twin seat; after half an hour she kept banging her head on my head and shoulder; lastly she kept her head on my lap and slept; said she was too tired Hugs from Papa

Good, you both didn't had a fight, thinking on who will start first! Yes, now I just thought of those days where I used to travel for 24 hrs. to reach my native village from my work place by bus. When the train tickets were not available, we had to depend on the buses (long trip) and the day-night travel of those days were really painful. However, I really enjoyed a speical trip as the co-seater was a women! No, I am decent and I could't sleep well as I had a feeling that I may hit her and she slept well and mine, mmmm.. We become friends by next day and when we are more close, it was time to part and never had a chance to meet or talk, really a nice girl...

So how did she knocked on your head this time Jaiho? Incidents like this is but natural on buses. That's because if you are by the aisle area, someone passing by could indeed hit you in one way or another. It's a good thing that a big bus didn't fell on you while you were fast asleep.

LOL! I always experience this every time I travel to the province. Especially the roads are not fully concrete yet. The passengers who fell asleep really suffers!

Hi Jai ! Glad to see you again ! Traveling tells a lot of stories , some are fun , some are romantic and some are sad. The beautiful thing there is sometimes it is in traveling that we will meet people we'll never forget for the rest of our life. Welcome home Jai !

your story really made me laugh... im sorry i know being knocked on the head hurts however the old lady is really funny. she keeps on knocking her head on your unintentionally. but maybe next time choose a better place to sit on, and maybe a seatmate as well so things like that wont happen again.

hi jaiho oh my that was no fun at all. I winced when yhu told that she knocked your head. I know how much that hurts.Yes JI wo uld stay awake the rest of the journey too and avid the head butting lady. I once fell asleep here at my computer and b anged my head on the key board. I got a painful welt above my right eye and a very black eye.yep I would buy two seats and avoid the head banging by someone else. Tuesday March 12

hi jai, Hhahaha!well if the seat mate is a HE and a Hunk I can offer my shoulder or lap so he will knock my head . I feel how annoyed you are miss yah!

Hi, You are right. Traveling alone by bus is really a boring. But I have to travel many times alone. So I have this experience of banging head of a passenger many times. But it is very annoying experience. As you said it would be better for us to buy two tickets every time.
