What's a common behaviour that disgusts you?

   I had a rather extraordinary experience on a greyhound bus once. It was a long haul from Denver to San Francisco, and I sat down next to this very normal looking black man. Now if you didn't know this already, you can meet some SUPER weird people on greyhound. I wouldn't say riding the bus is dangerous exactly, but especially when it's an overnight trip it's a good idea to keep your wits about you. But this guy just seemed like a regular guy - well kept, had teeth, so I sat down and introduced myself. We exchange pleasantries, I tell him how I'm going to pick up a car (a whole different crazy story) as the bus is filling up, and then he tells me about his new job at a hospital or something as we pull out of the station. Then he tells me about a book he's reading. Then he tells me about his stock portfolio. Then he tells me about what it's like to be a long-haul trucker even though he's never been one. Then... This dude talked to me nonstop for SIX HOURS.
   It was quite amazing really because it wasn't the ramblings of a crazy person, and he never paused! He wasn't trying to sell me on any whacked-out ideas or asking me if I'd talked with our dark lord cthulhu lately. He'd just talk perfectly logically and normally about a subject until it ran it's course, then WITHOUT PAUSING segue naturally into a new topic... For six hours!
   The only time he ever paused was when I got up to use the bathroom - which I did often because there were zero empty seats to escape to. But as soon as I came back up he'd start up right where he left off. Not once did he pause to think, to go to the bathroom, to take a drink of water, nothing. Just a perfectly unbroken stream of consciousness for six hours.
   That was ten years ago, but I'll never forget it.
