Who are the most ANNOYING type of people on trains?

[Soulman]

I used to try and see the funny side of train tossers, otherwise things could spoil your journey.
I t used to amuse me that i would normally be the one of the last to be sat next to on a busy rush hour train to or from London.
I would not be in a suit, but my clothes were ok, and i'd had a boiler suit on all day, unlike the suit who eventually sat next to me, avoided any near contact, yet had probably not had the suit cleaned for months.
Then you had those suits that had brought those expensive loud clicking locking briefcases, the ones that would only open about three inches because there was only an apple a daily paper and a cheese sandwich inside and no paperwork, i found it amusing to to tilt my head and get a peek and then smile at the person.
The loudmouths after Haywards Heath brigade, found in the buffet car, giving it large with posh accent until the train passes HH, the drink kicks in the accent disappears and the leering at passing women starts.
The person that is doing the crossword in the Times etc, keeps looking at you for approval after scribbling in yet another answer, unfortunately you have sussed that it is yesterdays paper and he has got the answers from the paper that is situated in the briefcase that only opens about three inches.

People who get on, sit near you and sniff constantly. I mean like every 5 seconds or so, and it's wet sniffing so you know there's mucus sliding down and then being sniffed back up just before it makes an appearance. It's obvious they're ill, and polluting the carriage. Use a bloody handkerchief you dirty b4stards, you are revolting.

They is no choice for us clean people than to go and sit or stand in another carriage.

I don't get the train very often, especially when it is busy, but recently I did, and next to me I had a sniffer, opposite him a cougher, and opposite me a loud headphones with "tsst tsst tsst". It was 45 minutes of hell.

 

[Nibble]

Groups of teenagers talking loudly about how drunk they were last night/how drunk they are going to get/"crazy" things they've done in order to try and impress the carriage.

Family groups off to Butlins that take half the carriage and treat it like their council house.

People that decide they need the loo or move carriage just as the snack trolley has passed them and stand behind the trolley expecting the vendor to try and figure out a way the passenger can pass.

You should have trumped all three and stripped off. That'll learn them to get LemSip, Benelyn and eardrops.

People.

Group of these passed me walking down the train carriage recently. All I heard of the conversation was the following (no doubt made up) snippet:-

..... really hammered, woke up in the night and pissed in my mums handbag....'

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

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

I don't mind this, and I'll tell you for why.

I usually get on a train at rush hour and it's filled with big, important business knob heads who smell like they don't wash, brush their teeth, etc. They sit at an empty double seat, but only occupy the outer-most one. The train then fills to capacity, but nobody else can sit down. Meaning everyone has to stand in the gangway and vestibule areas so nobody else can get on. If you ask them to move they tut and fuss like you have inconvenienced them. When I go to visit Brighton to see family, I'm buggered if, when I come straight out of work, I have to stand from Manchester Piccadilly to Euston!



The worst train users are:

-People who refuse to move from reserved seats when the reserv-ee turns up
-People who use all the power sockets
-People who rant at the Platform Master for letting the train go when they are late
-Bags on empty seats
-People who dodge fairs and hide in the loo
-The person who decided to stop handing out free beers and sandwiches to those who bought a first class ticket!

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

People who sit on the aisle seat with their bag/briefcase occupying the window seat.
& anyone who sits/stands near me coughing and/or sneezing. Take it outside.

Had this on a flight from Guernsey a few years back. What's worse was because it was on a small plane, there was bugger all I could do about it. Felt like I was sat next to someone on a bench down the Level.

 

[Deadly Danson]

People who slurp sodding Wasabi-it stinks and it's unpleasant to listen to. Special place in hell reserved for them.

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

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.

to be honest nobody obeys the rules of travel. From Manchester to Brighton, whenever there's me (with the "Door Open" button duty) and people behind me, people always seem to walk alongside the train till it stops, and wait reet close to the door, so that when it opens, anyone would have thought they'd be going in for a snog, they get that close. It happens worse on the Metrolink when Man City fans all try and pile past people trying to get off. Nowt like a load of shit smelling football fans squeezing past you after you've worked hard all day and want to get home!

Fat people
Eaters
People with bad breath / odour
Fat People
People that dont move down the carriage way
People that push and shove in a panic to get on and get seated
Fat People

 

[Iggle Piggle]

There is a lot to agree with on this thread.

The worst combination for me would be somone slurping a drink, eating a Cornish pastie, Sniffing, whilst listening to some crap music with crap headphones. I'd be driven to violence in such a case.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Nuns, farmers, Egyptians,voice over artists and cowboys.

 

[Seasidesage]

People who complain about other people using the train, like the train was there purely for their convenience ...

 

[greyseagull]

I completely forgot about the women carefully trying to do their make-up in the world's smallest mirror but with the world's biggest bag. They get on looking like Susan Boyle and get off looking like, well, Susan Boyle.

 

[marshy68]

People who put their bags and personal belongs on the chair next to them on rush hour commuter trains. I make a personal point of sitting next to them. I especially enjoy it when they have taken the isle seat and placed all their belongings on the window seat. Absolute thunder cvnts in my opinion.

 

[Nibble]

One that kind of annoys me but it shouldn't really but seemingly perfectly grown up, functioning people that clearly don't go on trains much who are anxious and keep asking passengers what station they need to get off at, asking the conductor what connection from what platform etc etc. with the advent of the internet you can print off a full travel schedule to take with you detailing every aspect of your journey.
This is more down to my intolerance though.

Edit, unless it's a fit woman in which case I'll sit and answer every annoying question they think of. With a bit of inginuity you could manage to direct them to your house.

Quite, In fact not so long ago these irritations would have seemed trivial if you found yourself travelling across the Hinterland on a train. ;-)
