A short lecture to the following persons:
1) All you people who stand side by side on the escalator blocking the through-route for those of us whose underground trains are actually at the platform.
2) All you people who think that the turnstiles and the ends of the escalators in underground stations are the perfect places to congregate and chat.
3) All you people who get on to the underground train and then stop, at the entrance, because you are now on - despite there being a dozen people behind you who would also like to board.
4) All you people that sit on the underground trains playing very loud music on your mp3 'phones without using headphones.
5) All those people who think that it is perfectly acceptable to allow their child to sprawl across 3 seats when the train is jam-packed.
And lastly, 6) The surly teen who jumped into the seat that I had literally just vacated for a frail old lady and then sneered and shrugged his shoulders when I took him to task - you know who you are.

You're all cunts.
Here endeth the lesson.
Cheers m'dears!

If I may be so bold, and following on from your #2, I'd like to add "All you people who SHOUT ON YOUR MOBILES, or to each other, about Very Important Work Stuff, just so that everyone around you can see how important you are.
Your importance is vastly outweighed by your cuntishness."
Cracking blog, Binty.
Fuck'n A RIGHT!
Also the people who stand and crowd at the front end of the bus, not allowing others to move back and get to the EMPTY SEATS at the back to sit down.
The rage...the rage...
After a journey on the bus today I need to add a number 7... all you people who sit on the aisle seat on the bus with an empty window seat and then have the bloody nerve to get shitty when someone who wants to sit down politely says "excuse me". You're cunts as well.
Kav - thanks for the compliment. I note you have linked me, thanks for that too. I'll reciprocate, I promise, but it may take a while... just ask Ill Man how long it took before he got his name up here!!!
what a complete butt fucker jumping into a seat vacated for a frail old lady!
all of those things are pretty irritating, but i think that last one bothered me the most.
I'm with Sarah. I think that's grounds for a SafeTinspector revenge strategy. Want one?
Here in Detroit there is no functioning mass transit system. There's two decrepit bus lines that are only used by the very poor and by people who've had their drivers licenses taken from them by the state. There's no light-rail, and no bike lanes anywhere.
But I think these rules should apply to a busy coffee shop just as well. I've often gone on tirades regarding the exploits of business men at the sandwich shop yelling into their soups about business.
But...I'm sortof jealous that you even get to experience these little annoyances.
All people who try to push pastyou instead of saying excuse me. You deserve the elbow to the face that i give you
Although I agree, p1p, where I currently live that's just the culture... and you just got to be prepared to do the same!
#6.
A similar thing happened to my sister in Hong Kong. She vacated a seat for an old lady and a guy in a suit sat in it. My sister shouted at him and he wouldn't move, so she dragged him out of the seat. I think the old lady was as irritated with my sister though as she was very embarassed.
Manners first binty, then shoe to arse. I am always polite first as it gives me time to cycle up to incandescent rage before nudging them out of the way.
Bah Humbug
Alas, p1p, in South East Asia manners take on a very different form to what I grew up with... It's been a steep learning curve but all that refusing what you're offered twice and accepting the third time and handing cash over to cashiers using two hands has kind of sunk in now. And I've got used to the idea of no please's, thank-you's or excuse-me's and scant regard for personal space in public areas.
Oh, and purplepangolin... that's because by getting angry your sister lost face, and by doing it for the old woman SHE lost face too. People over here set a lot of store on 'face'... another different ideology of manners!
lecho, fat folk wouldn't be so problematic if the seats over here were not designed for anorexic midgets in the first place!
