    Default Post your public transit and C-train vents here

    What are your public transit annoyances? Mine are...

    1) Idiots who have huge backpacks like they're going camping and wack everyone with it.

    2) Idiots who refuse to make room for others. Almost as bad as not giving your seat for older folks or ones with bags of groceries.

    3) Idiots who stand right by the C-train doors and try to board before everyone gets off.

    People who won't move to the fucking middle of the train car.

    It's like they are afraid they won't make it off at their stop on time if they are all the way in the middle, so there is tons of empty space with everyone crowded around the doors.

    #2 for sure Then when you ask to go by them, they give you the dirtiest look. It makes me smile when people just push these idiots out of the way to get by them.

    And the entitlement some women think they deserve by pushing themselves in front to get on the bus first when there is a ton of people waiting. These are usually short stubby women for some strange reason.

    Pretty much anyone under the age of 18 who rides the train and isn't wearing a private/charter school uniform.

    They tend to be violators of the most basic etiquette rules.

    - Feet on the seats
    - Loud annoying music
    - "F_ck" being used as every second word
    - Loud phone and personal conversations proving that they are idiots to others
    - Retarded ringtones
    - Chewing gum with mouth open on a crowded train
    - Making out and/or groping with tween girlfriend on train
    - Backpacks
    - Taking up an entire seat
    - Not getting up for old or disabled people
    - General douchebaggery

    People who jam on the train, before letting the other people off.

    When its cramped to shit, people who say "Excuse Me Please I have to get off" When the train hasn't even stopped and theres no where to move.

    I hate it how after huge delays the transit employees say "Please don't cram on, another train will be arriving shortly", when the next one is going to be just as fucking cramped.

    Loud, usually drunk afflliction/tapout wearing douchebags who get on the train, who swear and try to fight eachother

    I will definitely think of some more later.

    I'm going to find each and every one of your little internet friends!

    I now feel like I went into shock. I started breathing heavily and lost my sense of what was going on.

    Seats should be redesigned like this if you want people to move:

    That is happening. I think every car will eventually be seating facing the isle.

    The solution for people not moving is that after you ask nicely, just start walking. They will get out of your way.

    Also, people trying to squeeze on when its clear there is no room. The is a train in 5 minutes dumbass, dont try to push me out the door so your fat ass can get on.
    See Crank. See Crank Walk. Walk Crank Walk.

    Hahaha, shit. Laura is my friends classmate- He was also there and was showing me pictures on his Blackberry of this dude. Guess he took out a bottle of liquor from his bag and stared at them while he took a swig.

    Funny to see this go full circle into an article on CBC...

    People who smell, and i'm not just talking about regular body odour.

    This isn't meant to be racist, as i'm asian. But I've noticed some middle aged asian fobs or east indian fobs sometimes have a distinct foul odor, it's hard to describe, but you'll know what I mean if you ever come into contact.

    I'm thinking it comes from something they eating the night before that reeks from their body the next day. In several occasions I've had to get off train and either move to another section of the train or wait for the next one because the smell is so bad.

    Dumb hick or airhead girls who talk with long drawn out vowels like they're still thinking about the word they JUST finished saying while they're spouting the next word of garbage that hits their mouth.

    People that don't seem to have control over their voice when they're on the phone... nobody cares how you've got an exam next week or your boss worries more about his dog than your lame ass.

    Then the typical stuff, guys who smell like rotten garbage, feet on seat, people that stick gum on things, people who don't know what "excuse me" means, fatasses who sit RIGHT up against you, laying their leg and side-fat on you even though you're already squished against the window, etc...
