Travel story is a hoax but there’s reasons to believe it
This travel story below was a hoax, but some people believed it:
Greyhound passengers accustomed to complimentary vomiting in the aisles will now be charged a $15 fee to do so, company representatives announced.
"In order to better serve our customers in the future, we have instituted a small surcharge for those needing to empty their stomach down the center walkway," said spokesman Don Randall, adding that once riders wipe themselves off, they can pay with any major debit or credit card.
"We recommend passengers wishing to avoid paying the fee puke on one of the chairs in the terminal beforehand."
Even though the story appeared in the satirical Onion, some people took it literally. Why was it so believable?
Anyone who even casually checks blogs about Greyhound finds numerous stories of people vomiting in the aisles — sometimes without anyone bothering to clean up the mess.
