Do any of you find these behaviors annoying as hell too, or am I just a bitch?
Men Taking Up Too Much Space <--- clicky!
Seriously, you don't have Elephantiasis of the testicles, you can close your damned legs! You don't need to be spilling over into my leg space. Cross your fucking legs for all I care, but stop rubbing up against me.
Squatting in the Doors- I don't mean literally squatting and taking a dump- does that even happen? *Shudder* I mean the idiots who congregate at the bus/trolley/subway doors, then stare at you blankly and refuse to get off and get out of the way when you inevitably have to exit, and yet are visibly annoyed when they are jostled as people try to squeeze past them.
Let me explain some basic physics to you people- one solid object cannot pass through another, which means you need to get out of the fucking way when I'm trying to get off. Turning sideways doesn't cut it, you are still in the way! Just get off and then get back on again, FFS!
People talking on Speakerphone- This isn't a reality TV show where everyone needs to hear the other end of the conversation. Why can't you talk on the damn phone like a normal person?!
Re: Where My Public Transportation Commuters At?
I had a guy doing that above my head once, swinging all around, and I asked him to move or to hold on because he was going to hit me in the head, and he just scoffed at me. 15mins later the bus came to a sudden stop because a car cut us off, and that guy elbowed me in the back of the head so hard I saw stars.
I looked at him and said, "Dude, I fucking told you that was going to happen! Thanks so much!" He mumbled an apology and put his phone away. Another passenger yelled out "Too late now!" I had a migraine the rest of the night.

This thread is making me laugh... every single day it's something. Can't wait for the weather to really warm up so we can add all the lovely aromas to the rest of the annoyances.
Another one is people who take up a seat with their bag when there are many people standing. FI esp hates this and always says something.
My biggest pet peeve is people who stand on the left side of the escalator. Don't want to walk up/down the stairs? Fine, but move to the right already! I wish every tourist was handed a flyer that told them to STAY TO THE RIGHT.

Ugh, I deal with most of these everyday. My pet peeves are:
Talking while in the quiet car. If you want to talk (or listen to your headphones so loud they might as well as be speaker) then go to another car.
People who put their bags in the seat next to them. I know you would prefer not to have someone sit next you you but tough shit. I dont want to stand for the next 30 minutes. Put your bag on the floor or in your lap.
Putting on make up or brushing your hair. Do it at home.

I am getting notifications anytime someone posts in this thread I have no idea why. The knot gods apparently really want me to post on here. I am not a friend to the tourists. I hate when people are standing in the door way and look absolutely bewildered that they are getting bumped as a million people stream by. GET OFF AND THEN GET BACK ON.
Not walking on the left side of the escalator gives me rage blackouts.
Pre-pregnancy, they include: men who sit like they're packing a baseball bat in their pants, clueless tourists, riders with large purses/totes/backpacks who refuse to put them on the floor so they keep hitting you, people who block doors, and three I don't see mentioned here: groups of teenagers who bring a boom box onto the train and perform break dance routines, spinning over your head and occasionally kicking you; mentally ill people who start screaming at/attacking other riders; and homeless people who go to the bathroom (1 and 2) on the train.
And sincerely bless all of your hearts who commute daily in the big cities- like NYC, Boston, Chicago, DC, etc- and who have not yet killed anyone or committed another associated felony.
I admit, I carry a huge ass bag with me at all times now- a Vera Bradley Carried Away Tote. I carry this bag to enforce my personal space after several people, men and women, totally violated it by sleeping on me, leaning on me for no goddamn reason, literally standing up my ass when the bus isn't crowded, etc.
BACK THE EFF OFF ME!
I try my damnedest not to hit ppl with my bag as I get on and off and really never do, but there is no way in hell I'd put any sized purse or bag on the dirty bus floor.
