Pet peeves when on public transport

[Yupt]

Right just a few, I don't really use public transport much because I tend to drive, but i'll take the bus to get into Oxford and use trains from time to time.

Maybe more of a general thing but it happens a lot on the bus so.. people who see me, a tall and reasonably stocky teenager wearing a hoody, and instantly assume I'm going to steal their wallet or stab them. I actually got on to a bus once after training when I was about 16 so I was wearing a hoody and trackies, there were no double seats left and there was already a group standing at the bag holding bit so I had to pick someone to sit next to, sat next to them and they actually stood up and went to sit somewhere else, I was like waaat.

Babies. Screw you and your baby, get that thing a muzzle.

That person who talks ridiculously loudly on the phone, omg we don't want to hear about what you're having for dinner or what you're doing this weekend.

On the tube especially, the overly in-a-rush people or those who just seem to run through the place. Why is everyone like that, set off 10 minutes earlier and have a nice stroll, don't you dare barge me out of the way.

Finally, that really awkward scenario when someone walks on the bus and you don't know if you should be offering your seat to them or not, this could be for a number of reasons. 1) You're on the window side and offering them your seat is going to cause hassle. 2) You don't know whether they're pregnant or just fat. 3) You can't tell whether or not they're old enough to genuinely need a seat or would just get offended if you think that they were.

People eating really obscure, smelly food on a hot, packed tube.
People who don't move as you're trying to get off of the tube.
People who don't move as you're trying to get on the tube.
People who smack you with their bags on the tube and are totally oblivious to it.
People who stink out the already stinky, hot tube.

Urgh, I hate the tube sometimes. Woo go London!

Tourists just do my head in on the tram, they like to sit on me because their friends/relatives sat in a four seat (two seats facing each other) and they've been left sitting next to me, or on me, on the two seat behind it... Literally the sit down with their backs facing me and almost sit on me. I may be small but I ain't that bloody small!

also when I'm sixth form students from my old high school get on the bus, now I wouldn't mind if it was like relatively unused bus by sixth form students but it's not there's literally hundreds of us in the surrounding area trying to get the same bus and these high school students are too lazy to walk for bloody 20 minutes so get on 4/5 stops before they get off again. I used to walk to the same school and I live further away! Jddoijoidejoeda

I also hate children who think it's funny to press the bell multiple times to impress their mates like eyy look at me pressing the bell 10 times I'm well cool. Grow up

All the other things people say are valid too

oh and as a side note, I go to London quite a lot due to my family being from there and the last time we went me, my brother and mum and dad all got on the tube and we were talking normally at about 3/4pm and omg the amount of evils we got for just talking at a moderate volume not shouting or anything were ridiculous, not a friendly lot are you down south

[:odey:]

People listening to really loud chavvy music really grinds my gears

Story time!!

Okay one time me and my gf were going up to Dublin to see a show. We got the 7:30am bus from my two and we went to the back and there were like no people on the bus so Aisling lay down on me to get some z's so we took up like three single seats. Then like a half hour later this guy got on the bus and THERE WAS STILL LOTS OF ROOM and he came to the very back and sat with us anyway and we were like oh okay.

This guy smelt so bad of just everything, B.O., booze, weed etc. and was trying to talk with us and we were just like this guy isn't right. Like five minutes later he took out a massive bottle of Devil's Bit Cider and started drinking it AT LIKE 8 IN THE MORNING. Seriously I think it was 2-3 litres. We were really uncomfortable.

The weird thing is, this guy was wearing a suit so we thought it was some dodgy bloke on the way to work or something. Not before long he whipped out his phone and was talking to someone for ages and eventually started saying like "Will you be my witness" and stuff like this. THIS GUY WAS O NTHE WAY TO COURT!!!!! We were really freaked out but just stayed put and then he started pissing down the fire escape and stuff omg but yeah....... didn't like him.

It was bulmers and I had a rough night, there's no need to be rude about it!!!



I don't really have a problem with public transport apart from junkies having a session / shooting up at the back of the bus.

When they bring their pet dog on the bus and bark loudly.
When people with big bums shuv it in you face as they get passed (sitting).
When people push you with their big hands to get infront (especially when they're taller and think they're tough).
When people who look at you like you are strange.
When people cough in your face or spit at you by accident or by purpose.
When trolleys block your path when you need to get off any transport.
When taxi drivers don't want to go a certain place because it looks scary.
When someone farts as they pass you by and nearly faint.
When people eat right near your ear and make you cringe.
When foriegners use a different language you don't understand.
