Wait, what? You can't go blaming me for such happenings. I was still tucked up in my bed at that ridiculous hour of the morning.

You would say that ... animal you are, you should be muzzled lol

- Those who plonk themselves in your reserved seat and then scowl when you politely ask them to vacate it
- People who spill over on to your seat
- Passengers who have no concept what a 'quiet coach' is - I reserved a seat in the QC to have peaceful journey away from the yappy crowd!

I seem to get chinese students doing this a lot. When you ask them to move they look at you blankly. I'm beginning to think they realise that most British people are fairly polite and will take the easier / non-confrontational route if they adopt the "sorry no understand" vacant look.

Had this recently with some wker from Spain who pretended he couldn't speak English. I used Google translate and wrote "this seat is reserved for me, you need a special ticket" and it seemed to do the trick.

Put their feet on the seats.

This makes me really cross, and people who leave food, spill coffee all over them. Our lovely new trains on Great Northern are already looking stty just 12m after being introduced. People are animals.

or they are constantly jabbing you with their elbow as they are fking about with their phone. Or they just can't stop fidgeting.

Last night had a chap climb up into the overhead storage (impressive to fit up there to be fair but had fear he would fall down on me), then hide under the table when the ticket inspector came (getting all about my feet and legs), then proceeded to vape and blow smoke whilst I was eating my dinner, then when the ticket inspector (a lady train manager) came round said he only had a receipt and no ticket and proceeded to call her a c* unit several times. She said she was going to charge him for a train ticket but let him and his ticketless pal get off scott free. Whilst I had to pay for a well built company director's first class ticket. Just won't do.

There seems to be a growing minority of train travellers who don't use headphones when watching videos/playing games etc on their smartphones/tablets.

I rarely travel by train but went to London yesterday, a 135 mile trip during which I wanted something to eat. The trolley came along with plenty of beer, wine, tea and coffee but nothing to eat apart from shortbread, a Kit-Kat or a Twix. That annoyed me more than any of the other passengers' nose-picking,leg-spreading, arse-farting, belching habits.

I can't imagine that happening on a morning commuter service, they would get lynched.

Queefing if you're not a bloke.

The fat woman next to me who coughs every 30 seconds so that I then get assaulted by the her bad breath that smells like the back end of a camel. It’s either that or every time she coughs she farts as well. Is that possible? Wouldn’t it create a vacuum? I can’t work out if it’s better to hold my breath and take in one long puke inducing smell or breathe normally and be constantly assaulted.

Actually, you may be right - it does tend to be the evening services (but still commuter services).

I take 2 trains, the c2c and DLR

c2c
- people who shove themselves onto the c2c onlty to fking go to west ham (1 stop away) when they could get the district or hammersmith. they take up space for people who need to go limehouse or fenchuch.
- people who don't move all the way down the isle so more people can get on. the people by the doors are sardines, if you stand in the middle of the isle you have tons of space, which is why i do.
- people who keep their bags on. takes up more lateral space and gets in the way
- people who (it seems to be mainly those who work in construction) that put their bag + equipment on the floor next to them. its a huge trip hazard when gettig off.


DLR
- morons who lean against the middle pole by the doors. fair enough on a fairly empty train but when it's packed as many as 8 people can hold onto that pole instead of one idiot leaning against it.
- people who get on and stand in the middle of the door so they can be the first one off when they reach their stop. they rarely move out the way for other people who want to get on.

The bloke who shouts "CAN YOU MOVE DOWN PLEASE" when the train, which is already packed like a cattle truck pulls into the station.
