Jerk behaviour on public transport

Elysium1

I’m watching someone who sat near me, other side stick their leg out in the isle of the train, not just foot, much leg too.

People are literally climbing over to pass through on the train and no one has said anything. At the previous stop, someone actually tripped over, I guess they had shorter legs .

Small gripes and first world problems I know.... What is wrong with people? It’s a public space, not your place! I’ve seen other things but...one per day! Ha

See crap like this on your commute?

mothers letting their children sit on the reserved & handicapped seats on packed luas and not tell them go give the seat up for frail or elderly people jammed into the aisles.

on sundy I watched a self entitled shew faced waggon with a grotesque size 3 wheeler buggy push it up an entire train carriage banging it off everyones arms and legs and snapping md narking at them to get to the other end of the carriage when there were two sets of 4 empty double seats free beside the door she came in.

dirty people who eat or drink and then just f**k the empty wrapper/can on the floor - or worse leave it on the seat to spill and soak into the upholstery

skobies who smoke and now vape on the bus - give yerself cancer but leave me out of it and no I dont want my hair to smell
of strawberry vanilla frappuchino all day

Just stand on their ankle. Continue without apologising.

A swift kick to the shin as I walk past is what I would be doing.

Whilst a fellow passenger might have a fine singing voice in their own head, the rest of the carriage would not rather hear their vocal experiementations.

People blocking the entrance to the carriage when you're getting off is the obvious one.
Enjoy dispensing liberal amounts of elbowing, shouldering and toe stamping as you squeeze through them, best accompanied by cheerful shouts of "so sorry there, excuse me" with a big smile so they know that you're doing it on purpose but can't say anything without coming off bad.

Gotta do it in a slightly stressed voice, with your head down and driving through the crowd like a rugby player!

razorblunt

Ranting & Raving has a whole thread on this and it's great reading.

There's a punch in the face coming for the people that can't/don't wait to leave people off at stops before trying to board themselves.

Irish people using the word "jerk".

music/videos without earphones

speaking on a phone in anything other than the quietest tone you can manage, preferably to inform the caller that youre on the bus and cant really talk

Hey, jerkface. You have the face of a jerk.

Assetbacked

People not moving when you try to get off a busy bus or train. There is only one "sorry, excuse me" given out and then it's pushing with the potential to drag them off the train with me.

Sheep who get onto a bus and assume there are no seats upstairs because people are standing. Then the downstairs gets cramped because people are too simple to think for themselves and go to have a look for seats upstairs. I would say that 9/10 times there is a seat upstairs when you get onto a bus and people are standing.

This. Nothing irritates me more. Every evening I have to put up with a video calling Eastern European shouting down the phone. Other times it's Irish shouting and roaring about their entire day with all the f'in and blinding.

If my phone rings I either reject call and text or answer quietly and say I'll ring them back as on bus

It’s very possible they had an injury that didn’t allow them to bend their leg!! I know someone who regularly has idiots bashing into their leg assuming they are just being rude by not moving it. They can’t!

While the person you know may be have that condition and be genuine. Around 99.9% of people who do the same don't and don't care about others.

Thelonious Monk

People on the Dart not opening windows when it's like a f*cking sauna as it's so packed and the heat is cranked up.

ShyMets

People have full blown personal conversations at the top of their voices.

DelBoy Trotter

People not taking off backpacks and hitting people with them is a big pet peeve of mine :mad:

JupiterKid

Peope blocking exits when you are trying to get off the bus, tram or train - a curt, clipped but polite"excuse me please" shifts some of them, but not all. That's where the rugby moves come into play...

People who take up disabled seats or priority seats for elderly/expectant mothers and then do not give them up when an elderly or pregnant person needs them. Height of bad manners and ignorance.

People having full blown conversations on their phones in as loud a tone of voice as posible.

And.....people who stand crowded around the stairs to the upper deck of the bus when there are seats upstairs and you want to get past them.

I'm such a grumpy misanthrope!

Hear you loud and clear. Get on the bus. If it's jammers, ask the driver "anything upstairs"? Driver glances at his screen thing and says " yeah loads".

Common sense is a lost art!!!

Was upstairs right at the back of the bus last week during morning rush hour. It filled but then a few got off leaving 5 empty seats in front of me. Saw someone come up the stairs and take a cursory glance and announce to who ever was behind them, "full up".
Couldn't have missed seeing them but probably couldn't be bothered making their way down.

lozenges

Rude idiots trying to cram their way in to the tram/train/bus without letting people off first is my all time favourite.

I also detest when people refuse to move down the Luas carriages and insist on standing near the doors resulting in others being unable to board the tram even though there's space. If this occurred on the Tube there'd be blood.

good thread ! its no wonder people are reluctant to use public transport on a regular basis

Yeah particularly when they’re just playing music/videos off their phone on full volume I’ve begun making a point of just politely asking them to either put earphones in or turn it off.

I’ve found they either stop immediately or get defensive and start arguing (Wha?! Dyew own da bus do ya??!) in which case you just continue calmly explaining your request - the longer this goes on you’ll find more and more people sitting around will begin piping up on your side, once the initial step has been taken.

FYP.

There was a girl beside me on the train, for whatever reason, we got sat beside each other regularly and at 7am in the morning she spent an hour talking to 'Mammy'. There'd be a moment or two of silence and then I'd hear. "I know that mammy, but what I said to him was blah blah blah"

The deep and powerful conversations I have with my Ma on the train is a text saying Ma, I'm on the train. I'll ring you later.

Gynoid

People who eat monster munch on confined public transport spaces are dead to me.
Ditto tuna or egg sandwiches. Salt and vinegar crisps are a whippable offence.
Cheap cans of lager cracked open on the train like we are all off to Torremolinos when we are only passing Mullingar. And then the honk of ya when you have just sucked the life out if a fag on the platform at a stop and then breathe it all back out to me when you get back in. Maybe combined with lager breath. Dead to me.

People who sit beside you on an almost empty bus, train, etc!

Toerags who put their trotters on the seat opposite.
