Who are the most ANNOYING type of people on trains?

[Butch Willykins]

Eaters. In particular noisy eaters.

 

[Shirty]

People who sit next to you when you have a spare seat next to you. So annoying! Piss off and find another seat

What are these "spare seats" you talk of ?

The people who wind me up the most are those that squeeze on a carriage, push past all the standing people (usually hitting them with their backpack), squashing into the last remaining seat in the middle of the carriage, and then promptly getting off again at the very next stop and going through the whole rigmarole again in reverse. Just STAND for 5 mins you lazy t0ssers.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Smellies.

 

[knocky1]

The driver.

Those who think feet on seats is ok, as long as they take their shoes off. Particularly on the way home from work when their socks have a Camembert tinge

I find that woman rail commuters can be the worst. I commute from London suburbs to London bridge (with my bike on the train) and some women seem to think their gender allows them to barge past everyone and huff at anyone who puts up resistance. This is where the bike comes in very handy. Really nasty attitude, worse than any of the blokes.

 

[greyseagull]

Loud earphones for me. It makes me want to kill, again.

 

[Insel affe]

Fat people

Surely they provide a carriage with straw strewn across the floor for them !

 

[Monkey Man]

Agree with most of the above but some others that may resonate:

- People who are already seated opposite to where you decide to perch and insist on dominating your side of the table with their Daily Mail.
- People who get off and leave their cardboard cup and other coffee paraphernalia on the table ... THERE'S A BIN BY THE DOOR!
- Ticket inspectors with multiple piercings and tattoos. Come on, you're in charge of the bleeding train. Show us that you care.

 

[Rookie]

Fat people taking up more than their seat.
People on their phones
People who unfold their bikes on the train in front of the door holding everyone else up.
People who smack you in the back of the head with their bag as they walk past.
People who just stand in front of the door while others want to get off (post gatwick this is a big one).

Cheese straws maybe.

 

[BBassic]

People who get on a fairly busy train with no seats available, and stand in the bit where the doors are rather than move down the train to let others on or off. That happens even on the short journey from Brighton to the Amex on matchday.

This. Just move down the damn carriage people! Especially on match days. So frustrating watching people trying to get on at London Road and they can't cos some stupid arse won't budge down into the aisle.

"Hay" this is no joking matter.

Leg spreaders. They're always men and think it's ok to sit with their legs wide apart such that one leg encroaches into the space on the seat next to them. If the sit next to me I end up contorting myself into an uncomfortable position so as to avoid any unwanted leg touching.

Absolutely - highly irritating but you just have to fight back and put up with the warm leg so to speak. I had some spread legged idiot next to me the other day playing some console and every time he got a bit too involved he'd jiggle his leg up and down too.

 

[Insel affe]

People with wind or halitosis.

 

[albionalbino]

Drunk australian racists.

 

[Buzzer]

Two types irritate me greatly. The first is those people who walk through the carriages and then leave the adjoining doors wide open. Christ, that bugs me more than it should.

The second type I encountered today at St Pancras. I tried to get off as someone was trying to get on - this time it was a woman with a pushchair literally pushing me back inside the carriage, ignorant cow. East Europeans do this a lot, I notice. They just don't queue nor observe any train/bus etiquette.

Was going to say this. They may love leg touching, not all of us do.

And in particular noisy eaters of stinky cornish pasties.
