What would you do, how would you react if (while on public transportation )someone threw up on you? Would your reaction depend on the age of the individual?

SAY WHUHHHHHHHHHH? Of all the places this person could of thrown up on they pick you (me)? Um...

I can get very angry at times. All I have to say is this: It won't be nice.

Oh, no, this happened to my son last week, except he was the vomiter, not the vomitee. He had been taking antibiotics for strep throat for a week, and felt well enough to take his son to the circus.

The circus was almost over when he started feeling queezy, and went to the rest room. He splashed some water on his face and headed back to his seat to retrieve his family, when he suddenly knew he was going to throw up. He started yelling, "Get back, get back" but the crowd was thick and noisy. So when it happened, he told me later, he didn't know how many people he covered. He ran and got his family, and they got out of there. He said people were cursing at him.

Before this happened to him, I think I would have gotten hysterical if somebody threw up on me, but now I think I would have to be more sympathetic. Sometimes people do get sick, and just can't get away from you fast enough.

It all depends I would be grossed out no matter what the only reason I would get angry is if they were drunk other than that I can clean it up

I was traveling with a 6 y/o the other day when he vomited. Fortunately, I'd been to the store earlier and my purchase was double bagged. I was able to get the extra bag opened in time. That bus was crowded and there would have been big trouble if that child had vomited anywhere but inside of that bag. Whew! That was a close one!

yeah i would be upset but i do think i would try to help only because i get sick from time to time riding in vehicles i always travel with a plastic bag so that i wont throw up but my thing is could u just throw up on the floor of the bus u shouldnt have to throw up on people especially if u know that u r about to do it just bend down to do it

i dont know maybe its not that simple

The buses and trains are sometimes standing room only. If there are people standing all around you, you're gonna throw up on somebody. Even if the bus or train is crowded, there's still a problem with splattering etc.

ditto that....I'm sorry but somebody will be paying for more than the dry cleaning and salon visit....

If I had food in my stomach, I would return the favor. When I see someone else throw up, it makes me do the same thing. I can't help it.
