[Hansmoleman]

i guess its annoying when people sit on the outer seat and then when the bus is full dont move, as if they bought a spare ticket for there bag. also the people who get on the bus and then get off one stop later =/

 

[Naetha]

1. Single mothers not controlling their children
2. Congregations of single mothers talking about their next batch to cheat the honest taxpayer out of more money while screaming at young Duane to stop pulling Charmaine's hair.
3. Smelly people - be it BO, cigarettes, alcohol, whatever
4. Weird people who don't have a "normal" grasp of life and talk to you non-stop about their hernia
5. fat people sitting on top of you
6. chavs/goths/teenagers showing off and trying to look cool in front of their mates/you

[Dukat]

- Chavs who sit at opposite ends of the bus but still hold a shouted conversation with eachother.

- The "click click tap click tap click click" sound of constant texting for the entire duration of an hours journey

- Chavs at the back of the bus shouting "Turn the radio up!!!1" to the bus driver when random R&B hit #30432 comes up

- old people who seem to have a dangerous obsession with being the first off of the bus. Seeing an oap moving down the middle of the bus before its stopped just so they're definately going to be first off is scary; I'm always sure they're going to go through the windowscreen when the driver brakes :S

- old people who eat while sitting under the "DO NOT EAT ON THIS BUS" sign

as well as most of the other things said in this thread

 

[Bugz]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dukat again.


Poor mothers annoy me the most. Children crying and running around the bus. Mother sitting there smoking her fag with her huge, loopy ear-rings. Then, when they get aggravated enough they hit the kids and i'm sitting there thinking 'what is the world coming to.'

this one is quite funny when it happens, shouldnt be but it just is, i dont understand why people try and stand to get of the bus whilst its still going very fast and they know the bus driver will brake sharply.

Then, when they get aggravated enough they hit the kids and i'm sitting there thinking 'what is the world coming to.'

they should be smacking kids (with reasonable force). the country is fucked up - people won't smack their kids any more!

i hate people that talk really loudly on their phones, as if everyone needs to hear what they are doing tonight. then they start swearing with young kids are on the bus, and the kids pick up the language, view it as acceptable and so on.
or (and this actually happened) some mentally deficient woman with ridiculous, tabloid fueled views spouting their ridiculous opinions as though it's fact and screaming at people to agree with them. then when someone disagrees they call that person "a c**t that should mind their own business" we can't love, you wont stfu.

 

[Shagrat]

buses, that mobile melting pot of society that I know and love so much (travel on them everyday, only my iPod has kept me sane)....


1. The fact that a double decker bus seems to have an upstairs smoking room.

2. 1 mother, 3 kids as has already been stated.

3. Gobby school kids who think they have seen/done everything and talk at 175Db

4. (drunk) People shagging on the top deck of the bus when you are sat about 4 seats in front of them (I really didnt want to turn round to get an exact figure of how far it was.....).....oh god....i'd forgotten about this.....im having flashbaks now curse you

 

[tris-]

1. Not giving their seat to old folk / obviously pregnant women

this i dont agree with. just because you are young, it doesnt mean you are able bodied enough to stand up for a whole journey. people have medical conditions etc.

incidently, my top 7 would involve the things old people do

1. old people who think they can push in just cos they are old
2. old people who take forever to get the money out
3. old people who stand up and hang on the bar with 1 finger.
4. old people who do the above and then act suprised when they fall as the bus goes round a chicane.
5. old people who stink of piss and you cant move away from them
6. old people who laugh, and their laugh drags on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
7. and on

 

[Maeloch]

Old people and mobile phones.

 

[Outlander]

'what is the world coming to.'

the world has already come to that, it is in fact getting to a much much worse place now

 

[haarewin]

luckily, the buses around here no longer charge old people. it was only changed recently, but the drivers still need to issue them with tickets, and the old people keep shouting at the driver that they don't need to pay. the driver explains that they need to take the ticket incase an inspector comes but the old people still say 'i don't need it, i don't need to pay now etc etc'.
it makes me want to be one of those people in hoodies that terrorises old people.

 

[Overdriven]

1. Chavs (You all know what they're like on transport)
2. Parents who can't control their kids.
3. People who play music on their PHONE, outloud. (I don't mind 'loud' music from headphones)
4. Also; smelly people.
5. People who need to jump over railings because they're too cheap to pay for anything.
6. Emo people. (Not Goths, Emo people.)
7. A mix of 1 and 6.

 

[Fana]

[Ezteq]

lots of people mentioned the main ones (smelly, talking loud random crap on mobiles, kids running about crying etc).

Heres a few i dont think have been mentioned

when i wait for the bus as soon as i see it coming i whip me bus card/money out (or used to, thankfully i work next door to my house so dont have to get one now yaay) so i can get on get ticket bam done, there was one old lady and i personally saw her doing this twice, she got on and stood infront of the driver for about 10 mins pating down her coat rummaging through pockets etc then saying "ooh dear, i dont seem to have my purse....*expectant look at other passangers* oh im so upset!" some sucker would pay for her and we'd get moving.

people who dont help when you see some poor cow struggling to get her folded up push chair and little kid on/off the bus, i mean come on it'd take 3 seconds just help the woman, she'll be off faster and you can be on your way faster.

people who talk to me. Do i know you? No. Am i interested? No. Did i give any signs that i wanted you to talk to me? No. stop talking to me or i will attempt to remove your eyes from their socketts with a chip fork ive just found wedged down the side of the seat and gob on your brain.

oh and Hans mentioned this but it really really really annoys me, people who sit on the outer seat. I hate them lol, dunno why it gets to me so much it just does.

 

[old.Tohtori]

I don't mind what people do.

If they listen to music loud, i'm cool with that, heck...i'll even try to listen.

If they put on makeup, heck...i understand rush leavings.

If they smell like crap, heck...my nose is used to it as sh*t is all around the world.

If they keep on babbling about jesus and how the world ends, at the top of their throats, heck...i'm always willing to listen to a point.

If their shagging infront of me, heck... i got webspace.


And the one to push the moral envelope...


If you're sensitive, don't scroll down.


Honestly.


Stop now and turn away.



If there's kids running around, heck...i got my 9mm

Stop now and turn away.

lol bet that made 100% of people (even the sensitive ones) become even more interested, its like subliminal messaging saying "YOU CANNOT LOOK AWAY!! KEEP READING!!"

as well as most of the other things said in this thread

You have a radio on your busses? my god?

wtf? Overpowered radios tbh.

 

[confused]

What annoys me the most is that i could be driving, yet i've done the so called "green" way and i'm regretting it, and still not feeling the "morral" high

 

[Lamp]

this i dont agree with. just because you are young, it doesnt mean you are able bodied enough to stand up for a whole journey. people have medical conditions etc.

Fair point.

Guess I'm just old fashioned. On the whole I respect my elders. I say please and thank you. I give me seat up and hold doors open etc.

I can't stand people who have no manners.

 

[Thorwyn]

Most of them are also smokers.

 

[Mikah75]

i cant use public transport, i dont fit in the seats

 

[soze]

1. When your on a bus route with no stops you just hail the bus. And old people just stand outside thier house so you end up stopping every 2 houses hate it.
2. Chavs throwing stuff about so the train or bus ends up delayed for cleaning.
3. A chav Mum fing and blinding at here 3 4 year old child, hate parents shouting at kids.
4. Thru trains, if it stopped id be home a hour earlier.
5. Old people who think just because your young your a chav and decide that they should put you in your place like you parents never did, and you cant tell then to FO
6. Cheap headphones, buy some decent ones so i dont have to listen to your shit!
7. Large groups of noisey 14 year old girls why shout at the girl 2ft away from you if she wanted to know she would not be listening to craig fin david that loud

And late trains suck arseholes too

 

[Jeriraa]

oh and Hans mentioned this but it really really really annoys me, people who sit on the outer seat. I hate them lol, dunno why it gets to me so much it just does.

I'm kind of an ass on that one. I usaly wear army boots. When I want a seat I get one... I just pretend to start climbing over people and they move.



My worst ones (this is Germany thou, not UK):

School kids - they are loud, they push you by acciedent, they throw things and they talk utter nonsense spread by the media
I've hated them too when I was still taking the bus to and from school.

Turkish family-clans cramping 2-4 pushchairs into the bus then at the next stop act authistic when people try to get on or off it.

Couples frenchkissing infront of me - I dont have to see how far you can get your tongue down her throat!
Dude, dude stop it! Seriously, I think she's choking.

Walls of bodies - People using the exits as entrances and vice versa. People standing in the corridors as if it was their godgiven right to prevent everybody from getting past them.
Is it so hard to imagine that people get off a bus or train faster if you leave em some room??? I tend to use my ellows there and when people complain I shout at them "Next time use your brain, then I wont have to use my elbows." but even after 3 years of applying this there is no noticable change... I must have elbowed like 100000 people. You'd think at least some of them had a brain.

You could give it to someone, then again, equal rights man

And there's always someone more "morally obligated" there to give it away.

Here in finland we get these "senior citizens and medical conditions only" seats....so if i sit anywhere else, it's fair game
