No, families are perfectly entitled to travel too, they have a ticket, they can travel. All I want is a bit of peace, I don't want to hear any songs from Matilda, or (as I had last night), a family actively encouraging their children to fart....(one of which I copped full on)...
Families coming home from London on the commuter trains, usually after watching a theatre matinee or some other day out. If other commuters are like me, we'd be happy to sit on a train for an hour in relative silence, resting after a busy day. The last thing I need is Mr & Mrs and hyped up...

I happened to mention to my relatively-recent-vegan boss that a picture of some pork chops in a magazine looked lovely, and that I could really eat them. Next thing I know, I'm aware of him standing over my shoulder playing with his phone. Then he pops the phone in front of me and was...
Or the overemphasised greeting to something:
Girl 1 - 'OMG!!!!!'
Girl 2 - 'Have you just won the Euro Lottery?'
Girl 1 - 'No, Girl 3 has her knickers on back to front'
Treasure these moments. Give it 50 years and coins/notes will be consigned to history, and we'll all be paying for everything using Bit Coin, via eye scanners.
The brazen thickyness of the idiots that send spam email. I like to occasionally look down the latest list of 30 spam emails and chortle at how gullible they must think people are to believe it's genuine. Although I guess it only takes one or two to fall for it to make it worthwhile for them.
'Designer' clothing/shoes/hand bags etc - surely everything is designed, even George at Asda...
People wearing 'Baby on board' badges when they appear to have conceived the night before - and the mis-use of said badges (which I'm guessing were intended for women that were carrying the extra...
I like the very very occasional meal out that costs more than a mortgage payment, but give me the likes of Hungry Horse every other time. Cheap, substantial food - it's worth putting up with the feral rugrats running about to save the money.
Or let them out at junctions. The most annoying ones are when there's a road only wide enough for one car, so you flash the car 100m away in the opp direction to come through - then you get nothing, no flash, and hand up, no mouthed 'thank you'.
And when I stop to let a pedestrian cross...
People that exaggerate sneezes for effect. We had a woman here that had a sneeze that starts conventionally enough, but at the end she puts this weird noise on the end - totally uncalled for, but it got her some attention for a couple of seconds!
A woman on the train yesterday, headphones in, book in one hand, plastic bookmark in the other - which she used as a drum stick on the table in tune with her music. Blissfully unaware of how irritating she was.
