6 Commuter Crimes Were ALL Guilty of

6 Commuter Crimes Were ALL Guilty of Be careful its a jungle out  there. When it comes to using public transport, its every man and woman for themselves.  Travelling  to and from work is a repetitive experience that can really  bring out the worst in people. Its like the gift that keeps on taking.   Unless youre of the rare breed of human that can fall asleep in public,  its easy to get lost in your own thoughts and start noticing just how annoying your fellow passengers are.  You cant help but analyse everyone around you, silently judging  them (very harshly) for doing things that, if youre honest, youve probably  done too. 1. Staring  at people When someone else does it: Can you help them with something?  Its so rude to stare and they are making you feel uncomfortable with their lengthy gaze. They could look at their phone, a book, poster maps or advertisements. However they have chosen you, and even though you want nothing less than to  encourage them, you cant help but check if they are still doing it, which they are and now youve just made eye contact (again). When you do  it: You like that girls shoes. You also like the way she has braided her hair, can you do it like that? Maybe you will try that tomorrow. As for that guy over there does he know that his shirt is crushed? Why people do not iron their clothes is completely beyond you. Ooh! Finally that man  is finished with his newspaper, my turn! Well it would be if he didnt rest it on his lap, of no use to anyone. Great. How inconsiderate. 2. Advertising  symptoms of a  cold When someone else does it: They are putting your immune system  at risk  and you simply wont have it. You cant afford to be struck down by a cold right now. They cough again, then follow it with  a sneeze and you make sure you look at them with daggers in your eyes so they know that what they are doing is not okay. When you do  it: Poor you, it is so hard being unwell and having to go through the daily motions. You shouldnt even be going into work but you are so dedicated to your job  and nothing  can  jeopardise that  big presentation. When you cough it hurts, and youve also just run out of tissues which means you have to keep on sniffing. You sound like youre crying, which you are on the inside. Today is going to be a hard day and its like no one around you cares, that healthy-looking lady didnt even offer you her seat. 3. Losing footing When someone else does it: Its not that hard to hold on to the support rails. Stop and start, stop and start every journey is the same. How can they not be prepared for this? They want to  play on their phone but they  shouldnt be allowed because they cant handle the sudden movements. They ram into you, and your body stops them from  falling over. You have saved them from getting hurt  and therefore you are a hero, while they are just a nuisance. When you do  it: This driver is absolutely vicious! Are they trying to make you fall over? You  fly into the person next to you because  the brakes were slammed with no prior  warning. You shake your head with embarrassment to let the other passengers know youre not happy with the the way the vehicle is being operated. It happens again, and this time your  hands spasm  to find the nearest rail and you  lose the email you were midway through composing on your phone. 4. Having a loud conversation When someone else does it: Nothing they are saying concerns you and quite frankly you shouldnt have to listen to how crazy last Fridays work  drinks got. You dont care for their stories. You dont care if Sarah ended up crying because Bradley told her he likes Jennifer more than her. You especially dont want to hear about their  kids being sick after eating bad takeaway.  Have some decorum, people. When you do it: You are so happy to have a friend to travel with. You know what this means. STORY TIME! Youve been waiting to talk about  how crazy after-work drinks got last Friday Sarah even started crying because she found out Bradley and Jennifer are practically officially dating. You also describe in vivid detail just how bad your kids stomachs have been lately, everything that goes down is coming back up at the moment, it must be a bug they picked up at school. Before you know it youve reached your destination. Quickest trip ever! 5. Walking in a disorderly  fashion When someone else does it: Selfish and ignorant.  Who do they think they are? The world doesnt revolve around them yet they dart straight in front of you like its okay to just cut you off without warning. And  it isnt. When you do  it: Move everyone!  Youve got places to be, people to see! People appear to be walking at snails pace and its just so inconsiderate. You feel like a cattle prodder without a voice or prodding stick (if only). Can they not see you are in a rush? You erratically change your speed, making swift sideways moves into the gaps. You hover closely behind those who are fast enough for you, and overtake them the moment they show signs of fatigue. 6. Squeezing into a packed carriage When someone else does it: There is clearly no room here yet they hurl themselves into the crowded coach like its a mosh pit and full body contact with strangers is acceptable at 9am. They are so impatient, there will be another on its way in a few minutes, just wait. WAIT. When you do  it: You are late for a meeting and you have to get onto this bus or train if its the last thing you ever do. You take a few paces backwards, rub the ground with one foot like a bull at a gate and launch yourself inside at the last minute. You knock a few people in the process and passengers  go down like dominos, but it doesnt matter because you are Batman and you have made it. Speaking of making it, youve just made it to the end of this article. What do you think the most annoying public transport behaviour  is? Image: Shutterstock
