Scots reveal the weirdest things they've overheard on public transport

Whether you are a bus driver or just a regular on public transport we are sure that you'll have overheard a few horror stories in your time.

From naughty children giving away too much information, to an elderly lady handing over her house key instead of bus pass, we've seen and heard it all in Scotland.

No trip on public transport is complete without a few mishaps as Scots from all walks of life gather to make a journey together - on the bus, plane, or train.

And it provides some hilarious overheard conversations and bizarre moments. Here, we asked Daily Record readers the best stories they've overheard, and the answers are hilarious:

Look at that bus driver he's steaming.

I've sh** myself, and so have I

Woman to her partner Graham: "Aww shut up Graham you are like Mondays...you always come too early."

Once on a flight home from Gran Canaria the attendant had to confiscate a lady’s artificial leg and put it in the overhead compartment as she was trying to use it as a weapon

Two kids on bus were talking about their mums and dads, competing to be the best. One said my mum's finger was bleeding, the other said, well my mum was in toilet and her bum was bleeding...needless to say she quickly shut him up.

An elderly lady handed the driver her house key instead of bus pass. He said "sorry love I need your pass but I am off at 2 o'clock so see you then"

I once told a woman on the bus that she had a pink curler in her hair! She was very grateful.

I overheard a woman in her 60s asking her friend how she was going to give a foetus as a sample for her Dr to check if she was going to the loo OK. I just had to say do you not mean a faeces sample. She said "oh it could be that". I had to stop the bus for laughing.
