If your commute is driving to work, you’ve probably seen enough idiocy that makes you wish you could just use public transportation.
But if you do use public transportation, you’ve probably seen enough idiocy that makes you wish you could just drive.
1,000 people who use public transportation were asked to name the most annoying things they encounter on trains, buses, and subways. Here are the Top 10:
1. People who talk loud on their phone. Forcing dozens of people into their business. Dude, just text them.
2. Aggressive people in general. Especially if you feel unsafe.
3. When someone won’t give up their seat for another person who needs it. Sometimes you don’t want to know how terrible the people around you are.
4. Trash on the ground, or on the seats. Spilled liquid is the worst too, especially if you don’t know what it is.
5. Long delays, or your bus gets there late. You’d like to save your excuses for when it’s your fault.
6. Pushing and shoving. No one likes human bumper cars, especially pre-caffeine.
7. No air conditioning, or bad ventilation in the summer. And the smells it brings.
8. Noisy kids. Especially when their own parents aren’t affected by it.
9. Manspreading, or taking up too much space. Or invading your space.
10. People who try to get on while you’re still trying to exit. It’s like the equivalent of people who can’t comprehend the “zipper” merge when on the highway.
