Things that annoy you on trains

People who pile out of work in a state of panic at 3pm because its snowing and they may starve and die being stuck in the back water that is LONDON if they dot get home immediatly..They then freakout as the thousands of them cant fit onto the off peak 4 carriage half hourly trains at that time of day.. Why dont they lay on more train they wail , as obviosly changing a train line timetable is something that can be done by the click of a mouse at central control.. Mind you I suppose they do the rest of us a favour as we stroll onto the 5.30 fast train with 12 near deserted carriages occupied by the quiet calm commuters
 
****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

:d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d

Quality MC

No it can't it will then have a knock on effect to all other services causing a cascade thats why they have time table planners the bring out an amended time table every 6 months or a year
 
Morning Chaps,

I've found that picking my nose and wiping the contents on the window/ table seems to annoy other passengers, also constant farting and scratching my balls doesn't go down too well either, particularly when I'm standing with my crotch or arse near someones face.

Also for some reason, nobody ever wants to join in when I'm singing along loudly and out of tune with my ipod.

And as for those who are complaining about people sitting on the outside of a two seater, can't you understand that I want both seats for myself? One for me and one for my bag.
Is it too much of a hardship for you to stand or sit somewhere else you inconsiderate w******?

Kind Regards

Welcome back Tarquin. How was re-hab ?
 
I've learnt not to let train passengers annoy me. I get on at Thorpe Bay, second stop on the line so can get whatever seat I like, which will be a two seater legroom seat with the gap between the seats. Similarly I arrive in plenty of time for the train at Fen St so I can get the same seat. Once in my chosen seat, my earphones go in (noise defending Sennheiser earphones so no disturbances for me or my fellow passengers), I close my eyes and try not to open them again until I reach my destination.

However in the station the people who don't get their ticket out until they reach the barrier are second only to the people who go through the barrier and then just stop on the other side, blissfully unaware that there's a load of people trying to get through behind them.
 
Thanks Chap.

I'm in Belfast at the moment, which has been smashing, except for the other night when I braved the freezing weather to get myself a loose woman.

In hindsight, it probably wasn't a good idea to go out wearing a balaclava if the abuse, threats and police involvement are anything to go by.

Kind Regards

I was in Belfast a few years back, and took the precaution to buy a bullet proof vest, only for a midget to shoot me in the bollocks. :'(

hahaha! good to have you back Tarquin!
 
IMO as a commuter, i dont think i own the service, but considering i pay nearly 4 grand a year towards the running of the service, and you pay about £10 a year to take your family on a day trip... yes, in terms of who has invested more money towards the running of the service, the cost of maintainance and so on, its me, so get your ruddy kids off my feet!

If England win the World Cup you can get in touch with Ron Martin and he will give you your money back.
 
I wasn't too keen on a large gang of steamers at wembley park station in the Eighties some time. Was selling souvenirs up there at the time. Loved it tho when the old bill piled on just as they reached my carriage.
