Who are the most ANNOYING type of people on trains?

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

Railway Enforcement Officers.

I find their demeanour and approach to ticket inspection extremely insulting.

I have been stopped on a platform and asked to produce my ticket on three separate occasions. Each time I have been made to feel like a criminal, for standing on a platform waiting for a train.

Same here, when I was 13 a rotund guy (looks like the slightly chubby officer in CSI Las Vegas) got on and went all official about Transport Police etc. Got my ticket out of my pocket and showed him and he slunk off with "owright."

The very loud PA system with the shouty guard loving his own voice should get a mention

 

[Uh_huh_him]

yes, but that barrier may have been unmanned for a short while, AND ALSO THEY ARE DOING A VALID JOB IN DETECTING FAIR DODGERS, not rocket science

I appear to have touched a nerve.
My mistake. I have re-thought my position and now agree with you. It's a very very valid function. Covering for a the ticket barrier staff's tea break. Normally in groups of 4 or 5 at a time.

 

[The Terminator]

People who are on their own and choose to sit on a table seat.

I always do this. Don't like having my knees around my ears. Sorry!

 

[Randsta]

Me I play my music far too loud

 

[The Spanish]

people who rather than simply move up, do a timid moving of their knees a few degrees to grudgingly let someone through onto a middle seat. life would be a lot better if people could just budge up rather than that silly reluctant minimal possible effort thing. blokes who do it to women i think need to take a long hard look at themselves.

What makes me smile is we all - in all likelihood - have crossed paths on these trains and pissed each other off in the process by doing these annoying habits. Amazing

It appears there are two groups in society. Those that happily naus up their fellow humans at every opportunity and glean a wry pleasure from it, and the semi-permanently affronted on the end of this behaviour. Is it possible to choose what group you are in, or is it just fate

Don't really like either group.

You may not have gone through the barrier. Could have hopped off another train....just sayin'

What if they want leg room, a plug socket, somewhere to put stuff near them for easy access…etc?

First Come, First Served. If it has a reservation, don't sit in it.

 

[Return of the Rev]

people with surf boards

 

[Cosmic Joker]

Children who grab the fold down tray on the back of the airline style seats and when it gives a loud squeak as it rapidly lowers, then pump the thing up and down in rapid succession, while it gives off increasingly ear-piercing squeals of a tone similar to nails being dragged down a blackboard (showing my age with that reference) sometimes laughing manically. Worse are the parents who fail to stop them immediately. Amazed we've got to 7 pages without this coming up. Is it only me who has experienced this torture?

Yes Ok...
I give in.

next time it happens, I will smile and congratulate them on the top notch thorough job they are doing.

 

[Nibble]

HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT before you've boarded the train

I'm guessing you are a ticket inspector.

Me too, actually!

 

[Rogero]

Dead people. I hate it when they are there just laying around. They never move for you and they stink.
