The lady who narrated my whole bus ride in Portland

Last Tuesday on the #15 bus, this older woman sits next to me and starts giving a play-by-play of everyone getting on. She said 'oh here comes the guy who always smells like cigarettes and regret' and I nearly choked on my coffee. Then she pointed at a guy with a guitar and goes 'watch him play the same three chords in two minutes, bet you lunch'. By the time we hit the Burnside stop, she had a full crowd laughing and people were missing their stops on purpose. Has anyone else had a random stranger turn their commute into a comedy show?

Street preachers usually pick me to yell at, so I would have been the one she called out for staring at my phone like it owes me money. Honestly, a narrator like that is the only thing that makes sitting next to the guy who eats tuna salad at 8am bearable. Last time I tried to joke with a stranger on the bus, I just asked if the delay was bad and she told me her whole medical history. That lady sounds like she deserves a free pass for life.
