Funny, right? But, as a kid in NYC, we were always told not to sit next to men in raincoats on public transportation... So, first time alone on the bus in London, it is a serious downpour, and I get on the bus... And it is FULL of people in raincoats.
I looked around, and I just... openly cracked up.
Then, of course, no one wanted to sit next to ME because I appeared to be a real nutter... sigh.
