"Why is that guy looking at me like that? How come he's drinking Special Brew at 9:14am? Oh no, he's coming over. I think he's trying talk to me. Uh oh. Yeah, he's definitely trying to start a conversation. Look at away. He's getting closer. Maybe he's looking for someone else, surely he's looking for someone else. Yes, he's looking over there now. Thank God. Wait, is he coming back?" "So, where you from then?" "Damn." We've all been there. Maybe it's the nut-case at the bus stop that decides to tell you their life story, or maybe it's just a jilted lover calling you up to yell at you on Christmas day. Whoever it may be, it is always unwelcome. Click "Next" to see our top 8 picks of the people in life you'd really rather ignore.
8. Crazy Taxi Drivers
"Crazy" is the key word here: there's nothing wrong with hearing the wisdom of someone who's been riding the roads for years, but when that same someone then starts telling you about why they had to leave their hometown after "the incident", things take a turn for the worst. When all you want to do is get home in peace, it can be hard to listen to the strange and frightening plot of a book that your cab driver happens to be writing, or how much they violently dislike their colleagues - or even why they aren't allowed back in the US anymore. It gets worse when you realise you're trapped - you've got no where to go, especially if there's heavy traffic. After only a few minutes you seriously consider chucking every penny you have onto the back seat and then barrel-rolling out the passenger door into oncoming cars. This is a fairly rare situation, but when it happens after something like a long flight, it can really take its toll. Next time, get the bus.
