Things that annoy you on trains

[Hotman]

****ing commuters who think they own the trains. I just go for a simple day trip with my family, and just because they've got yellow tickets they think they own the place.

They read their papers and generally make the train a depressing place.

Even get some tuts about my kids but none of hte ***** are man enough to actually say anything.

Had one arsehole really upset at a ticket barrier once

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Every **** who answers the phone with the words "I'm on the train!"

 

[Tommy2holes]

Having commuted for 10 years i cant say i miss getting the trains to the ******** that is london everyday.

Proper soul destroying jockying like a penguin with the runs just to get someones arm pit in your face on a july evening whilst hearing the words " ladies and gentlemen we are currently delayed"

Proper load of old ****.

 

[phsend]

People who walk through to the next compartment without closing the door behind them.

 

[Tommy2holes]

That reminds me :

About 6 or so years ago when i was still working in london.
This bloke is on the train opposite me and it rush hour packed. He answers his phone and the conversation goes something like this.

Hello
Yeah im on the train
Im in essex
Yeah essex
Nah i wouldnt touch any of em
im sure they all up for it though
Dont know where abouts
Oh hang on , we are coming into a place called benfleet
Looks a proper ********
Yeah they all look chavy
I gotta meet the wife at some party , tried to get out of it but couldnt
Mate they all look like they got off the ugly bus
Its housing estate city proper arsend of nowhere



Obviously by this time people where getting ****ed off.

This bloke gets on at benfleet. A proper builder type built like a *********.

This bloke keeps reeling out the insults laughing like the pompus prick he is, when at leigh the bird next to him gets up and gives him a stare he says " sorry mate some minion is looking at me"

With that the builder goes over and gives this bloke the biggest dig ever . The bloke is out cold and you can hear his mate going hello hello on the phone.

The bloke picks up his phone and just says sorry you mate cant talk right now as his face has just been caved in.

Loads of people started clapping.

Essex folk are legendary.

 

[BrettieAngell]

hahaha that is quality!

 

[Vange Shrimper]

- People trying to get on before I've got off.

- People playing music out loud.

People at Benfleet are very good at doing that. The amount of times i've smacked people with my rucksack and swore at them to move out the way....Inconsiderate gits they are.

Like someone said earlier, people talking to their mates on the phone as if they're deaf. I dont wanna know what your talking about tbh. And when your trying to get past them on the train, they aint paying much attention so you have to push past them.

I was on the train to London yesterday, and some woman got on at Laindon. She wasnt the smallest of ladies and she managed to sit on me for most of the journey until she got off at West Ham. It wasnt until I managed to elbow her in the side (purely by accident of course...) that she moved to the side a bit...

 

[Tommy2holes]

There also used to be this bloke who had a number plate with leigh-on-sea on it and he used to have it hung round his neck like the worst necklace youve ever seen. He was always paraletic and fast asleep but sure enough someone would always wake him as we approached leigh.

 

[Streaky]

People with McDonalds / KFC / Burger King - when i'm starving hungry!

 

[Holy Joe]

On the train this morning and I'm in the window seat of a two-er. Woman gets on at the next stop and sits next to me. All the way from Billericay to Liv St she is doing her make up. Get to Liv St everyone has got off the carriage and she is still sitting there doing her make up. I say - "Sorry - do you mind if I get off the train". She gives me a filthy look like it is a ridiculous suggestion. Jeez she's being doing her make up for half an hour and still looked a munter.


- apologies if that was anyone on here.

 

[chapperzUK]

EVERYONE! Don't know why.

 

[Medway Blue]

I don't care if I'm generalising here, but LONDON COMMUTERS AND BUSINESSMEN **** me off.

They all look like they're so depressed, they're about to commit suicide
They are rude, push past people, think they own the trains.
They take up more than one seat and look at me like an idiot when I go to sit next to them.
They make loud noises on their laptops and Blackberrys
They all sound like idiotic toffs when they take their business calls.

I just generally avoid travelling between Ipswich and Southend during rush hour, 'cause I swear to God, I'm just waiting for the chance to bang out some suited, up-his-own-arse, rude, depressing commuting business man.

Other than that, I don't mind travelling on the train.

As a "businessman" I agree entirely with this, and that's why I only travel between 10am and 4pm

Can only concur, luckily, rather than working in EC1, I work in SE1.

I just can't stick the fact that the kind of idiot who went to school is wearing a very ill fitting expensive shirt with completely unmatching tie with ludicrously expensive, yet trashy cufflinks who barks down the phone is pretending to be the older embodiment of the very people who they beat seven shades of **** out of in school and making themselves look idiotic.

Basically, I like commuting, it beats driving to Laindon every day as I used to do and contending with Sadler's Farm however, my god, there are some pricks put on this earth and it just seems to be that there is a massive concentration of them in EC1,2,3 and 4.

 

[Crawliano]

Oh yeah, and just one more thing.

I once engaged in an exchange with a fellow passenger. The conversation went as follows:

She says to me...
"Can you turn your music down please?"
"I don't have any music on"
"Yes you do, I can hear it."
"No, I don't, I've not turned my headphones on yet"
"Everyone, everyone, can you all hear his music? It's far too loud and it's disturbing me"
"You are one (I've family friendlyed this bit) aggressively sexing vulgar reference to female genitalia"

I've never in my life ever been on such a quiet awkward carriage on the 18:00 to Shoeburyness in my life. I'm not the best people person.

Haha yea they are classic, always loads on the c2c in the mornings. You can put lipstick on a pig but at the end of the day its still a pig.

 

[Ron Manager]

Thanks everyone - you've taken me back to my train commuting days and made me remember how much I hated it and how glad I am not to be doing it anymore. If I could give you all green I would! :clap:

 

[TrueBlue]

To be fair your all just a bunch of miserable *****

 

[GBJ]

Suicide bombers normally **** me right off

 

[Mad Cyril]

People that simply *have* to sit down and try and squeeze into tiny gaps without the thought to remove their large overcoat/Michelin man style anorak.

People who don't move right down inside the carriage when the train is overcrowded due to cancellations/overhead power failure/signalling failure.

People who try and squeeze onto such an overcrowded train as if it was the last lifeboat on the Titanic.
