Narks of your fellow commuters?

I used to hate that when trains had windows. Insanity.
My current pet hate is men who touch you either because they are too fat to fit in one seat or because they have no awareness that it is unusual to start rubbing themselves against other men. There should be a clear inch gap between any part of two men in adjacent seats.
Chorleywood is a particular hotspot for these perverts for the record. JUst a warning to beware of the Chorleywood Two as I call them- an old man who looks like he plays with children and a big fat black bloke who looks like hes eaten too many children.

The fellow on an evening who pedals his folding bicycle up a long hill, smack bang in the middle of the road. This road has bollards most of the way up so you can't really overtake him that easily, creating a mile long queue of traffic. On beeping the horn to tell him to use the designated cycle lane, said cyclist stops, turns round and calls you rude, claiming that he didn't beep at you so why should you beep at him. You probably would have though, you hippy, had I been driving in the middle of a f
king cycle lane!

The window openers on the train. -10 already in here but someone feels compelled that the only thing missing is the wind chill factor and opens the window and I'm sat here not only cold but a gale force wind billowing around the carriage!!
It might be -10 to you but I've just slogged through the snow, uphill, wearing enough clothing to keep warm OUTSIDE. I am now inside; ergo, I am too hot and the heat in this carriage will do for me unless I get some fresh air NOW.The window openers on the train. -10 already in here but someone feels compelled that the only thing missing is the wind chill factor and opens the window and I'm sat here not only cold but a gale force wind billowing around the carriage!!
Seriously, I get this all the time from Bromley South. Some of the passengers have been on the train since 7.00 am when it probably was quite chilly in Dover or Ramsgate but now its 9.00 and hot and sunny when I get on the train in Bromley. Also, they have all got used to the smell of sweaty people in clothes which need dry cleaning, toilets and brakfast eaten en route whereas, to me, it smells fckuing horrible.

9 times out of 10 the said window opener will still be wearing their coat too.The window openers on the train. -10 already in here but someone feels compelled that the only thing missing is the wind chill factor and opens the window and I'm sat here not only cold but a gale force wind billowing around the carriage!!
Those who insist on being first on the train on the way home to get a seat, who then two stops before thier station all of a sudden no longer need a seat so decide to then stand as close as possible to the doors. I have often thought what the consequences of unclipping thier ruck sacks and reclipping around a grab rail would be? The sheer delight seeing thier faces would be priceless.

I'm with you, sometimes it's like breathing soup, people soup
Also:
Phones on the quiet coach
Texting on the quiet coach
Speaking on the quiet coach
People with nervous ticks on the quiet coach, Yes I'm talking about you Mr 'Must sniff seven times in a row or the world will end'!
IT'S CALLED THE QUIET COACH FOR A SODDING REASON PEOPLE!
People who leave newspapers everywhere! Would you do it at home?
People who think their bag deserves a seat of it's own.
People who sit in an aisle seat deliberately so no-one will sit next to them.
People who think the rest of the world are interested in hearing every detail of their mundane bloody lives!
People who barge to the front of the queue.
People who hit you with their bags as they walk down the aisle.
People who try and take your eye out when they put their coat on.
People who stop at the bottom of escalators to extend the handle on their suitcase.
People who ignore the 'Please have your ticket ready' signs and then hold you up looking for it.
Noisy people.
Smelly people.
Slow people.
Chatty people.
Friendly people.
Unfriendly people.
Intolerant people?
Have I missed anyone out?
All of the above +
Sniffing
People who cough & sneeze without covering their mouths
People who hit the keys on their laptops as hard as possible
People who text without having their keypad on silent (click click click click or beep beep beep beep - don't know whats worse!)
People who think they have the right to all the legroom.
People who read over your shoulder.
I think one of the funniest mobile phone conversations I heard was from a chap who was speaking loud enough for the whole carriage to hear telling his wife he had got her Tena Lady Panty Pads for her!
