Annoying things on trains

[Nicky Winterwasp]

I've been on the kings cross to durham on quite a few occasions where the heating is stuck on in the carriage i've been on, during the warmer months. Thankfully the generous folk of GNER/ Virgin/ LNER or whatever they want to call themselves this week usually offer a free bottle of small water.

People tutting when you crack open the cans at 9am.

Trains are like airports. Apart from you don’t have to take a photo for facey

Four cans, a full English and an extra large Toblerone is the only way to start a long train journey, regardless of the time.

Correct.

Was once sitting on a train with my Dar coming back from London and some wifey changed her bairns shitty nappy on the table, wrapped it up, and literally threw it behind her without even looking. It landed on some fuckers lap, who was too polite to say anything.

So I suppose Scratters. Scratters are annoying.

not locking the toilet doors properly...particularly on a virgin/cross country train, the slow opening and then closing of the same doors is like a very slow death

Being unveiled like the Star Prize on Bullseye. Marvellous fun.

Other passengers in general.

People putting bags on seats
Bores doing work on laptops
People standing up 10 minutes before the train arrives and messing about with their bags

Anything else?

Im often a bore on laptop. Grafting 3 hours to London n back I can take the next day off if I fancy.

Some proper a holes get on I agree.

I only come through there to have a shit in your bogs.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Bike wankers clogging up the entrances.

decent one that. nothing worse than when scratters get on the end at kgx and walk all the way through.

People who walk up and down the entire train looking for an empty row on a train that's 80% full. They are often on the phone and hitting people in the shoulders or faces with their oversize bags while doing so. No, there is not a magically vacant pair of rose-scented seats for your special, special self.

I now understand why there are so many posts on this thread about the bogs.

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

Offshore riggers from ‘the boro’ with their steroid bloated bodies, with fake tan pissed after one can on the phone to ‘our kid’ to sort him out some sniff when he gets home.

People eating crisps then folding the packet up into a tiny square .. then putting it into the bin.

Getting stuck behind a woman at the gate whose ticket is on the bottom of their bag.

People using phones and children in the quiet coach.

If I was a ticket inspector people showing tickets and not having their railcard ready..

Bike wankers.

Could have just posted that.

Is this just trains or are you including the metro? If so this list will be pretty long....

I might have this covered.

The wanker who comes and sits next to you in an empty carriage.

Giant backpack wankers unaware of their surroundings.

Wankers that confront you for sitting in their seat before properly checking the seat number and their ticket, only for them to be in wrong train or can't read their own ticket

The bloke sitting opposite on a previous work trip who must have rang everyone in his phone and had the same conversation to tell them he was on the train and he was excited because the hotel he was going to was next to a Dominos so he was having pizza later. I'd learned all his lines by the time I got there.

Should've mouthed the words as he spoke and see if he noticed

People who seem to lose the ability to comprehend the english language when you show them your seat reservation
