Selfish people on trains

The bloke in the seat opposite me is playing Gimme Gimme Gimme for the 4th time in a row on his phone, really loudly 😱🙄.

What bugs you on trains?

@Beamur

People travelling at busy times who put bags on the seat next to them and then eyeroll you when you tell them to move it out of the way...

Was on a train before which was busy,lots of people standing and woman had a bag on the chair. Ticket inspector politely asked her to move it so someone could sit down. She just went off on one at him saying if they wanted to they could just ask and it wasn't her problem. Went on and on and on. Eventually moved it with a grudge. Then 5 min later there was a announcement made over the tannoy about how its busy,if you're bag is on a seat take it off. Just don't get it..if its busy your bag doesn't need a seat!

Oooh and loud loud music..with singing even worse.

@anotherusernameugh

People who sit in the priority seating, even when a pregnant person is standing right in front of them.

I'm a bit confused by this.

1. You don't know why someone is in a priority seat.

1. Pregnancy does not generally mean you need a priority seat.

Drunk football/rugby fans
Drunk hen parties
Really any drunk people especially in groups

Anyone who insists on not wearing headphones because we all need to hear their crappy game/music/video.

Groups of young people where not a single one is wearing a mask (they surely can’t all be exempt!) I live somewhere masks never stopped being mandatory on public transport but see this every single day on my way home from work.

Where do I start?

People talking on the phone with the phone on speaker mode.

People playing their music without headphones.

People putting their feet on seats.

Manspreading.

Women putting on their full face of make up.

Halitosis on a crowded tube.

I feel like 2 years of not commuting has made me far less tolerant of peculiar train behaviour. Now it’s all like nails on a blackboard. Before I was just glad to get a seat, not get elbowed in the face or talked to by a drunk person.

Everyone else on the train 🤣🤣

People eating.

People rattling crisp bags.

People rattling sweet wrappers.

People digging into their crisp bag searching for non existent crisps.

People sucking and smacking food like a dog licking his bollox.

People who chew like they're eating glass.

People who make phone calls for the whole journey and shout their conversation.

People who sit practically on top of you and spend the whole journey mooching about.

People who don't own earphones and watch videos, play games on full volume.

People who have the sounds effects turned on, on their phone keypad and text the whole journey.

My pet annoyance is making calls or watching videos on speakerphone.

But I had a weird one on the train this week. Sat down on a 6 seat bit, girl in her 20s came and sat opposite me. I moved one along (it was just us on the 6) apologised that I wasn't being rude but I'd had surgery so wanted to stretch my leg out. Put my (stupidly white and impractical) coat on my lap which overhung the seat next to me a little (opposite her). She kept deliberately moving her foot so she was putting it on my coat. I adjusted my coat a couple of times but she moved her foot so it was on my coat again.

I was wearing a mask, she wasn't which I don't really mind and you're not meant to put your feet on train seats but I can't imagine why she was upset with me. After a while, I gave her a bit of a frustrated look, she stared me out in an odd way then said her shoes were clean and left them on my coat (um, I doubt it given it was pissing it down in London). I still don't understand why, it was quite strange but I couldn't be bothered to say anything else.

Drunk rugby fans.

My heart sinks when I travel back from visiting my mum and realise the local Premiership rugby team have been playing at home.

People passively aggressively talking about you in ear shot about how rude I was to sit down in the last spare seat when I could see their travelling companion was obviously pregnant, said from someone sitting down and not offering said pregnant lady a seat.

My response was to zip up my coat which then showed my 'bump on board' badge! She still didn't get up to offer her seat!!

Op, tell him to use headphones or switch it off! Selfish git.

I don't like being in a train with: pissed football fans - it can feel threatening
Loud people in the QUIET CARRIAGE
a man manspreading next to me

There's a cure for manspreading.

Hit post inadvertently.
Loud voice "Stop assaulting me".

Pregnancy does not generally mean you need a priority seat.

I once offered to do break duty for a pregnant colleague. She (politely) told me she was pregnant, not disabled. I just thought I was being nice but I think maybe I’d been patronising? Dunno.

I might well be in a priority seat, you wouldn’t know to look at me, but I’m missing a fair chunk of leg and my patella merrily slides round post accident. Sometimes I think I should put my blue badge on my forehead, never mind leaving it in the car!

People that want to talk to me. They always want to bloody talk.

People who vomit

Face timers and People without head phones, I ask if they would like to borrow a pair, or just ask them to turn it down

"Gimme gimme gimme some peace before midnight..."

People who use a one hour journey as their admin call time. Boring conversation after boring conversation, always in a loud voice. Either speak quietly or at least make it salacious.

@FunkyPhantom

People who glare at you when you're playing your favourite song

People,who put their suitcase on a seat despite loads standing

I work on trains. These are all things which irritate me. I am however in a position to do something about them:

"Can you put some headphones in, please? The other passengers do not wish to listen to your music/Peppa Pig"

"You don't have any headphones? Then kindly turn the sound off"

"Feet off the seats, please"

"We are busy today; please remove bags from seats, or they will be charged a child's ticket"

"Please put that mask on properly"

"Can someone please vacate a priority seat so that this lady can sit down?"

"Please moderate your language"

"Put that fag out!" (I once chucked a pervy man off at 1am for lighting up. It was in January)

"Please put a shirt on while sitting on the upholstery"

And my all-time favourite:

"If you don't have money to purchase a ticket then I suggest that you walk. Now please step off the train"

I'm ruthless where anti-social behaviour is concerned.

People who leave rubbish. I think you have to be a real dick to leave a table full of drinks/food/tissues with the expectation that someone is going to clean it up for you.

People.....

Bighuff, I think that about any public space from self service cafes to trains to parks, why can't people clear up after themselves
