    it is annoying when people carry on a really loud cell convo, especially when they're hollering right next to your head. oy!

    i take the bus to work, doesn't bother me really. i used to drive to work but figured out the cost of the bus pass through work was a really good deal (they give us a $10 subsidy towards it each month, and take it out of one's paycheck before taxes!). thankfully i'm not too far from work so it's not a long ride.

    there's annoying people everywhere though...driving you have to deal wiht idiots on the cell phone not paying attention, or people just walking out into the street. i guess my disdain for humanity transcends transportation options lol

    I used to get the 6:30 am train onto work. Mostly people just snoozed their way into town, but you always got the odd arsehole who would chat, chat, chat at the top of their voice all the way. My advice? Put in your mp3 player, and listen to some soothing tunes to blot it all out and help you sleep. :)

    definitely inconsiderate, but can also be comedic. last week when coming back from shea stadium on the seven train, a girl was yelling at some guy named john, whom she apparently wasn't dating and was yelling about giving him money. after she finished, she was like, so did the mets win...

    I will take a dipshi* on a cellphone anyday over the unbathed stinky ass and armpit people I have had the pleasure of being close to while on public transportation.

    People in Ireland have never heard of this concept...seriously.
    Buses suck coz you have to put up with narky drivers and they are never cleaned. Trains are only marginally better.

    If you've ever been upstairs on the 13 you wouldn't be so happy about it. I won't go into it now though.

  • 7 words of advice for bus-riding etiquette:

    MOVE
    TO
    THE
    BACK
    OF
    THE
    BUS

    (please)

    Seriously, I can't stand it when people PLANT themselves in the middle of the aisle near the front or the middle of the bus, and there is still loads of room at the back, and there are people trying to cram into the front doors, but the people standing in the middle refuse to budge.

    Also, I can't stand SUV-sized baby strollers that take up the entire aisle. Why is it that the smaller the kid is, the bigger the stroller? The transit systems should really remove a couple of the seats near the front of the bus to be used as a 'parking-space' for the strollers so that other people have a hope of getting past them....

    (rant done. until i think of more, at least)
