A Pregnant Woman Saw a Man Smiling at Her on the Bus

In a lighthearted yet somewhat peculiar incident, a pregnant woman boarded a bus and noticed a young man smiling at her from across the aisle. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, she decided to change her seat to create some distance. However, to her surprise, the man’s smile turned into a grin as she moved. Feeling a bit more unsettled, she switched seats again. Yet, it seemed the man found her movements quite amusing.

Undeterred, the pregnant woman changed seats for the fourth time, hoping to avoid any further awkwardness. However, this time, the man burst out laughing, which finally prompted her to complain to the bus driver about the man’s behavior. The bus driver took the complaint seriously and had the man arrested.

The case went to court, and during the hearing, the judge asked the young man, who was around 20 years old, to explain himself. The man explained that he couldn’t help but notice the lady’s condition when she boarded the bus. He recounted a series of amusing coincidences that had occurred during her seat changes.

As the pregnant woman moved from one seat to another, the signs hanging above each seat seemed to comically correspond to her situation. First, she sat under the sign of a sweet that read “THE DOUBLEMINT TWINS ARE COMING,” which made him grin. Then, she moved to a seat under a sign that said “LOGAN’S LINIMENT WILL REDUCE THE SWELLING,” causing him to smile again. Next, she sat under a deodorant sign stating “WILLIAMS BIG STICK DID THE TRICK,” which nearly tickled his funny bone.

However, what proved to be the breaking point for the man’s composure was when the pregnant woman moved to a seat under a sign that humorously read “GOODYEAR RUBBER COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS ACCIDENT.” Unable to contain himself any longer, he burst into laughter.

The judge, amused by the sequence of events and the man’s explanation, couldn’t help but see the humor in the situation. He dismissed the case, acknowledging that it was all a series of coincidental and harmless laughs.

Though the incident led to legal proceedings, it serves as a reminder of how a moment of amusement can sometimes be the result of an innocent chain of events. In the end, it was a lighthearted encounter that brought a smile to the courtroom and probably to many others who heard about it.
