To have not backed down on this shit of a man on the train?

I thought the same. It's quite easy to work out how he was sitting if he was sat beside her and put his feet on her seat when she got up. Don't know why people felt the need to question it.

I too go bonkers with sniffing. It amazes me how people sniff having no idea how disgusting it sounds to some people.

Nobody should put their feet on the seat on a train

entitled arse

Ooh you sound like me! I haven’t noticed that particular announcement, but it’s reminded me of ‘we apologise for any (the any is slightly emphasised in an annoying way) inconvenience to your journey’ which always irks because it’s not inconvenience to my journey, it’s inconvenience to me. It’s disruption/delay to the journey, inconvenience to the passenger.

Where there is a seat I always say can I sit down please and don't do eye contact. That's on the bus. On the Tube it's different . Again I never give eye contact when I get on but if it's full someone always leaps up and offers me a seat for which I thank them profusely and smile. Yes, I am old but don't expect a seat automatically because of that.

100% agree

As an aside, my daughter practised her reading on the ‘please don’t put your feet on the seats’ stickers.
They have taken all the stickers away now and replaced them with a recorded message (which is also not grammatically correct imo - 2 phrases in the present tense and the last phrase in past tense).

Bags can go on laps.

That’s what laps are for.

See plenty of teenagers (equal mix of male and females) doing the same thing

Staff don't have the right either.

Honestly! I can’t get my head round getting ready for work and thinking I will just pack my toe nails in my work bag so I can trim my toe nails on the train 😂 the fact it’s happened twice though is crazy so it isn’t just one person thinking this!

Really??!!!!!😵

I’d love to be friends with you! I have so many commuter gripes, the absolute worst is the music without the earphones but they definitely need to bring back the “no feet on seats” stickers and “keep your bags off the seats” announcements. People with luggage in the accessible seating also very much bugs me and those in priority seating and not looking up at each stop to assess if anyone might need the seat more than them (although I don’t question this as I know many have hidden disabilities so I’m hoping this is the case and they’re not just selfish). I did have to ask people in priority seating if any were able to stand once though because a heavily pregnant woman looked as though she was going to faint and nobody had had the manners to let her sit down!

I think people have become more selfish public transport users in the past 10 years or so. I think announcements and posters would help at least make them aware that it is (or should be) socially unacceptable.

Anyway…not in least bit unreasonable and he sounds like a selfish manchild who shouldn’t be allowed out until he learns proper manners.

Of course you are. They paid for 1 seat not 2. And if they won't see sense, find staff.

If he’s ‘asleep’ drop your bag on his feet, he won’t know, he’s asleep…..,.
Then cough in his face.

bags on seats really annoy me
in crowded trains and people have their bags on their seats with people having to stand

You're not entitled to force anyone to move it either

It doesn’t matter why people are doing it. Unless they’ve bought their bag a seat they’re not entitled to use it.

I was sitting in the middle seat on a plane when the man seated in the aisle touched me up. I elbowed him hard in the chest and began shouting at him, calling him a dirty effing pervert. When he leaped out of his seat I got into it and refused to allow him back. The cabin crew had to find him another seat. Every time I walked past him to the toilet I called him a pervert and reminded the people sitting next to him what he had done. I bet it was not an enjoyable flight for him but i\ got very high on the power trip of humiliating him. I bet he never tried that again.

I once worked as a dominatrix on a telephone chat line so don't try it on with me, sonny.

😂😂😂 definitely do it!

YANB to challenge and he’s out of order.

But, in my experience women are by far the most serial offenders when it comes to bags on the seats.

Start farting and burping.

Yanbu. However I have to say I find this occurs both with male and females equally. Especially the bag thing. However I see women spreading over double seats often too.

The putting your feet on the seat thing disgusts me. You are walking on dirt with those feet and expect others to sit on that so you can be "comfy"

I'm trying to picture this too. Imagining a middle aged man looking like a child with both feet on the seat. Could imagine a teenager doing it, more flexible.

Yes i agree. I do the same.
