This morning's commute and other commuting stories

There are those that freeze. And then there are those that look you in the eye and don't change their direction or speed at all. This happened to me on Whitechapel Road a while back - Guy was crossing on an amber and had spotted me charging towards him but carried on purposefully slowly. So I thought 'fuck it, I'm going to steal his hat'. However I misjudged my speed/ hand-grab co-ordination and ended up giving him a 20mph open palmed slap on the head.

Haha, incredible. I always feel the urge to high-five people hailing buses but have resisted so far. I'd feel terrible if I gave some poor sod an open palmed slap to the head, they're already having a shit day if they're riding a bus, no need to make it worse.
