1. Taxi drivers with no sense of direction.
2. Mothers who stupidly let their toddlers run riot on train platforms, without the benefit of a harness to prevent them from falling onto the train tracks.
3. Scum bags who insist on smoking, even when there are ten million no-smoking signs posted about the place.
4. People who sit next to you on a train, when there are other seats to be had.
5. People who insist on making conversation during a five-hour train journey. What part of ‘I’m working’ didn’t you get?
6. People who talk loudly on mobile phones on the train. The entire fucking train didn’t need to know what you’re doing for Valentine’s day, you arse.
7. People with no sense of personal hygiene. That fishy, foisty smell wasn’t coming from the sea my dear. Changing one’s knickers would probably help.
8. People who insist on phlegm-coughing their guts up, whilst sitting next to me. That shit’s just fucking wrong.
9. Train drivers who think they’re Michael fucking Schumacher. Fucking schmuck.
10. Public fucking transport. ‘Nuff said.

Ugh, I can feel the grossness coming through the screen. I need a mask and a shower. And sanitizers.
Ask FLB about people on her train wearing paper hospital gowns.

Number nine is why I have a crush on you Karen. I love the whole British accent thing, you love football (though are a dreaded ManU fan), and you know who Michael Schumacher is.

So I’m guessing you were on a train today? LOL
Actually, people talking loudly on their cell phones anywhere annoys the piss out of me. And it really annoys me that people think it’s “OK” to chat on their phones while in the library. Hello?! It’s a library people! Unless someone is bleeding their eyes out or you’re a heart surgeon getting called in for emergency surgery than get the eff off the phone.
I tried to convince management to let me throw rocks at this idiots – but alas, I was vetoed. Something about lawsuits…..

Eva, I have a particular phobia about dirty smelly people. It increases 100 fold when the fuckers are sat next to me, or near me.
I love ya too Anne!
Scott, are you kidding me? Are there people who don’t actually know who Schumacher is? Granted me and TTG watch every Grand Prix race, but still…. Some people are just heathens.
Shiloh, this particular transgression always happens to me. The smell was awful, and it made me want to gag. The only reason I didn’t move this time was because the train was so full up. Plus I’d have had to touch the person I was sitting next to, during my escape effort. I’m not big on being that close to total strangers. Which propoably explains why I was never good at one night stands.
Oh God Wendy, the phone in the library would piss me off no end. Luckily it hasn’t happened in our library yet, but that’s probably because the librarians look as if they could eat you up and swallow you whole, if they took the mind to. I love them very much.

Oh great Karen,
I just got out of the shower. (turning around)Promptly going back in. *G*
Sorry you had a bad day. Hope today is better.
You know, this does shatter a mental myth for me. For some reason, I always picture you zipping into work in a sporty little convertible, a silk scarf fluttering in the breeze as you merrily out maneuver the other drivers jockeying for position.

Sarah, you’ve obviously been watching me. *g*
Seriously, I try to avoid all public transport, when I can, it’s just that I had to go down to the South West, and I didn’t fancy the 5 hours it would take to drive there.

OK Karen, this email sent to me might be just what you need:
If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane or train…
1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
2. Remove your laptop.
3. Turn it on.
4. Make sure the guy who won’t leave you alone can see the screen.
5. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.
6. Then hit this link:

Sharon that was effing hilarious! Can you imagine if I actually did that on a train! Sick, but very funny!
