So I was sitting by the window on the train and this woman ( I will not resort to calling her an lutsay ) was next to me with her hugemongous bag at her feet. My stop came and I got up and kindly asked her if she could move her bag and what does she do ? NOTHING !! She shuffled her feet like that was supposed to make a difference. I couldn't get out and I virtually had to do the splits to go over her and her bag. My shoe got caught on her bag and by the time I got it off I had missed my exit and had to get off at town hall instead of central!!! Woooooosah !! And she didn't even apologize !!!!!!
So anyway , I hate inconsiderate train people and I though everyone else could share some experiences too, and list things they hate about trains.
Here's mine. I hate :
* when people in their 30's give me death stares for not giving up my chair for them . Gtfo it you're not old yet!!!
* when I've been waiting for the train for a while and someone comes right infront of me so they get first priority.
* when people barge you to get a seat. We all want a fricken seat so have some bloody manners.
* and like my above scenario, selfish people that don't assist you in getting out.
List away guys !!!

People who don't give up their seat for those that actually need to sit down.
People who think that their bag is another person. If that's the case, then they can pay for a ticket for the bag too.
Noisy and annoying kids on the way home that never shut up, and have no manners or respect for anyone.
People who feel the need to quickly get on board the train and push in front of you, when you just so happen to be right in front of the doors.
People that have bags so big that as you sit down, they whack you in the head with it. Seriously, who on earth needs a bag so big.
Yeah, probably more as it comes to me, but that's what irritates me.
I've had the same problem with people not moving for you when you need to alight. However, I'm probably a bit bigger than you so simply bark at them to move - and they do.
But, what I find most annoying is when the train doors open - say at Town Hall - and there's a menagerie of annoyed, sweaty people waiting to disembark, that small, impatient (and it always seems to be a woman) person attempts to force themself onto the train as people are trying to get off. To my mind, this is an act that smacks of having no common sense, manners or consideration!
It was at Central, and my train wasn't coming for another 10 minutes or so, but the train to Richmond pulled in (all during peak hour mind you), and this one lady, late 30's, early 40's would have been my guess, pushes through as people get off, but there wasn't enough room to squeeze through, so she got moved back as you would, and fell through.
I guess luck was on her side as she only suffered some cuts and bruises.
Still though, these people never learn.
You don't know the half of the unhygienic natures PE12.
I'm telling you, I've seen and unfortunately smelt some horrific, and I mean horrific people on the train.
The minute they walk past you, and all you can smell is sweat as if they haven't washed in a month or something.
It's foul to say the least.
Some people are just rude.
Here's another story that takes the cake.
This young-ish woman in her late 20's was sitting on those seats that face each other (the ones at the bottom or top of the stairs), and she has her legs stretched out so that she's relaxing or whatever.
It wasn't peak hour, but still somewhat busy, and so she has her legs stretched out and asleep (blocking the isle at the same time), and an older male, who was no younger than 50 or so walks down the stairs to get a better look for a seat.
He doesn't see the woman's legs sticking out as a result, trips over them (luckily again, landed on someone's bag, who immediately made sure he was ok as they were worried he was injured in the fall), but this woman gets up and starts abusing the man for not watching where he was going, with swear words flying out of her mouth quicker than Usain Bolt can run, and I'm sitting there thinking what an idiot this woman is.
There's no respect anymore.
If you want to sleep, then don't sit on the isle side of the seats unless you can keep your legs out of the isle.
And yes i agree it always seems to be a women, that attempts to force themselves into the elevator while others are trying to get out!
When I used to train it, here are my hates.
Arseholes trying to push on the train as everybody is getting off. My right shoulder was used a few times to get my point of fark off across.
School kids not giving a rats about anybody on the train - leaving their bags wherever the @#$% they want, running up and down and bumping into all and sundry.
Smoking on the train.
Pricks not giving their seats up for the elderley, pregnant ladies and handicapped.
Cyclists (On the train with their bikes or off the train. Lycra is not a good look, and NO you are not sponsored!)
And all you pricks younger than me sitting down when I stand up......... :-)
Ricky, that was beyond rude of her. What a hag !! Ive seen people sleeping across a whole 3 seater !! The nerve of some people .
