Do they do this JUST to irritate the hell out of people???

[M2T]

WHY OH WHY OH WHY Do people travelling on busy public transport choose to do something that they know must be annoying other passengers SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much that they actually can visualise slapping???

If you were the woman on the train this morning who insisted on trying to pick off your false talons for the whole 26 minute 34 second journey...... I want to slap you, I would actually have enjoyed slapping you!

But, I settled for many many irritated and obvious sighs and tuts. To no avail.... you just kept on pick pick picking!

Incidentally..... you didn't actually manage to pick any of the bloody things off anyway.

Witch.

PHEW! That feels better. Morning everyone.

I have to say that if you were sighing and tutting at me I would probably continuing what I was doing for that very reason

But thats just horrible. I actually felt on the verge of crying!

Don't you just hate it when someone sits opposite you on public transport signing and tutting? Makes me want to SLAP them

I just couldn't be that selfish! I don't chomp on chewing on the train..... I don't eat a big crunchy apple..... if my nose is running I blow it instead of sniffing disgustingly every 3 seconds(revolutionary idea to some people!!).... oh and I don't pick my talons!

I was sitting next to someone on the train once who was clipping their nails and letting the clippings fly over people!! WHY?

Right thats it! Next time I will just slap them.... if I'm lucky I might get a Mumsnetter!

M2T may I respectfully suggest that perhaps, just maybe you are a teensy little bit stressed today

And that if commuting inspires you to near violence, a job closer to home, or even home working may be something that you would consider

could you not just have got up and changed seats? The people around you had to put up with not only her talon picking but also your sighing and tutting!

I hate:

Men who insist on sitting with their legs wide open (to show off what????) so you get a teeny tiny bit of the seat.

People who witter on and on on their mobile phones. Do you have to talk every single minute of your life?

Kids who run riot and their parents do nothing - or scream "stop it or I'll smack yer bum"

People who drink alcohol on public transport

Old wifies who insist on talking to you the whole journey when you just want to catch up on your trashy celeb gossip courtesy of Hello

I could go on and on and on so I'll stop now

Ah there's nothing wrong with starting off your holiday with a glass of something alcoholic unless it's 9am in the morning!

Planes + a glass of wine (or 5) = OK. Bus into town + can of supey (super lager to me and you) = not OK!

go ahead and flame, but people who use their massive size to try to crush you to death against the wall so they end up w/1.5 seats (or more) and you end up w/what's left. i may be small, but i can push awfully hard, so don't try it, cuz i'll push right back - and muscle is stronger than fat.

people who are obviously infected with some virus, but sneeze and cough w/o covering their mouths or noses

whiffy people - take a flippin' shower!

Oh, and people who won't get up to let you out, but just swing their legs and feet to the side. I make sure my bag 'accidentally' comes very close to their faces. 'OMG, I am SO sorry!' NOT.

Er Compo.... do you not commute regularly in rush hour???? People were standing around me or of course I would have changed seats..... and I wasn't the only person glaring at her as she attempted to rrrrrrrrrip off her plastic claws!

I sat next to a guy the other morning who kept turning his head toward me and yawning right in my ear!!!!! Is was disgusting! I could smell his toothpaste!

COVER YOUR FECKIN MOUTH YOU IGNORANT B*ST!!DS!

I was wondering about this this morning, what is acceptable on public transport (as I was crocheting on the piccadilly line )

Oh the joys of commuting. Im soooooo glad I dont do trains and tubes anymore. Ok so I got totally soaked and very muddy on the cycle in this morning and nearly knocked down by some tosser in a BMW speeding down the bus lane but oh boy is it better than the tube any day.

And Im sure I spotted a WOMBLE this morning too. Well what else is whitish and furry and disappears into the bushes as you go past????

Don't start me off on this. I hate (with a capital HUH) those selfish people who have their iPod turned up so loud the driver of the train going the other way can hear it. I have asked people to turn them down before but it takes me five stations to pluck up courage.

Worse commuter I sat next to once was flossing her teeth next to me. Dear God what next? I was hemmed in at all sides so couldn't move but I was stunned.

M2T, at least it was toothpaste you could smell...

I sat next to an old woman who picked her ears once. Dust came out.

And down the carriage from someone who changed a nappy on the seat and left it there.
