Public transport Room 101 peeves

[MoiMocheetMechant]

I know I already started a thread today on the Room 101-worthy faux pas that is public transport passengers liberally covering themselves from head to toe with body spray but stay with me for more....

Am on a train, and a man sitting near me has clearly objected to the fact that an abandoned newspaper has been left at his feet.

So he's decided to use his feet to kick it, stamp on it, tear it and generally make a bloody racket. It is driving me fucking crazy!!! Have given him a couple of death-stares but alas no joy.

Until I'm rich enough to swan around everywhere in taxis and private jets, please put me out of my misery.

What public transport peeves would you also put in Room 101?

Eating hot food in a Tube carriage. Manspreading. Begging. Singing with guitar. Smoking dope. Putting feet on the seats. Swinging around the poles. Kissing. Playing music loudly on a phone. Talking loudly on a phone. Have I left anything out?

People who stop in the middle of corridors in the tube. Especially if its not even a 'decision point' and theres only one way to go. Move out the way!

People who won't move down the carriage because they are getting off "soon" --in 4 stops like everybloodybody else''

people who insist on trying to read a massage newspaper in a packed carriage so it blocks my view of my phone 6 inches in front of my face

Bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip.

I swear one day I'm going to grab the fucking phone and throw it out of the window.

Where I live you are allowed to take dogs on buses WITH A MUZZLE. Does anyone do this? No, so your dogs slobbery jaws are at the same height as my son ( who is standing as there is no space). See also: people who let their dogs lie across the aisle so you can't get out.

Not having your ticket/oyster ready
Not moving down
Standing by the platform entrance blocking anyone else from using it
Bags on seats
People avoiding looking at elderly/diabled/pregnant people so they dont have to give their seats up
Tinny music from earphones
Music out loud
Manspreading (its not that big)
Massive backpacks not being taken off on a packed tube
People holding the doors for friends

I already have complained on a thread about this but I have to do a short commuter flight regularly at the moment and the amount of manspreading and armrest hogging with total entitlement from many of my male co passengers is driving me NUTS!!!!!!

People who won't move down the carriage because they are getting off "soon" --in 4 stops like everybloodybody else''

Yes! My pet peeve, as a regular bus user, is people who get on the bus and then just stop, right where the bus is narrowest, meaning that anyone who wants to get on or off has to push past them. Move down the fucking bus! Sit down if you can, FFS! Or at least try to stand where you are not in the way of every other person on the bus. Standing/sitting on the stairs has also become more common.

Man spreading
Bags on empty seats
Gob on the floor
Bus drivers who ignore you when you say thank you

It should be imperative to have had at least a wash - preferably a shower within the last 48 hours prior to boarding any form of mass transit. Peoples stinky stinks are not helping my hyperemesis.

Argh also just remembered from earlier today - someone on the Tube sitting next to me was drumming her acrylic nails repetitively against the window 😱😱😱 was driving me nuts. I can still hear it nowww..... (The death-stares didn't work as she was sitting with her back to me 😭)

Man spreading.

Nose pickers (why try to pretend they are not nose picking)
Nose pickers with no shame
People on the aisle seat who refuse to get up to let you out from the window seat
People on the aisle seat next to an empty window seat who won't move up and expect you to shuffle past to get to the seat
People who stand in front of an empty seat blocking it from me sitting in it, this is an annoying new trend on packed buses/tubes
