If your city has a metro or train system, you’re probably pretty thankful it’s there. Even if it’s unpredictable and needs a remodel, it’s better than having to deal with city traffic and parking.

That said, there are some people who really take public transport for granted and treat it like it’s their own personal bedroom, bathroom, and… actually, there is no comparison, I don’t know anybody who has a room in their own house where they think it’s appropriate to throw food all over the floor and leave it there.

When you’re using public transport, remember that the “public” means everyone has to use it, and next time, you could be the person getting nail clippings flicked into your lap.

I'd be petty and perch on the front of the seat, not on her legs, but in front of them and make her feel really uncomfortable

Why not ask her to move? You're just as much the problem when you don't speak up. The person just thinks no one else wants to sit down.

Very true. But she’s also taking advantage of the fact that most people are probably scared she will scream at them and try to fight.

Just say "can I sit here, thanks? And if she didn't move I would sit on her legs. But she is just angry because she can't afford new pants. :)

If there are plenty of open seats, I don't see a problem, especially if guys keep using the open seat next to her to come on to her.

I sit like that on the train all the time - like coming home late at night when I'm tired and my feet are sore - but only if there are plenty of other seats available. I call foul on this picture - I would bet good money that there were actually plenty of empty seats, despite someone standing up near her - probably cause they were getting off soon. NYC (where the photo was taken) has clear subway ettiquette, and nobody would sit so relaxed like that if the seats were all full.

Maybe she has aversion to being touched by strangers ? People have been raped on subways, maybe she didn't want some unknown man to sit next to her? It's still rude to take both seats , but don't assume to know somebody's story.

I've seen this pic before and highly doubt it was truly a crowded train. Pre-lockdown, nobody would sit like that unless there were other empty seats in the car. Or unless they were mentally ill/homeless.

She could have aching legs and need to stretch them though. Its not done out of spite though, so many people are miles away on their phones that they need to be reminded sometimes, to move.

Don't sit on her, but just get her attention and tell her you'll be sitting on that seat. Much more civil but still gets the point across.

From my previous experience catching the train especially in New York, there obviously something on the floor. Look like puke or even possibly human Feces. I seen it before. So if that’s the case I don’t blame her, I blame the metro for not cleaning that mess. But if it’s no then she just an ahole. But if it’s New York it’s probably s**t.

She looks like she has a horrible rude attitude and will freak the f**k out if you ask her to move. And she knows it and she probably thinks people are afraid of her. And many of them probably are. So she takes advantage. She is a piece of s**t inside and you can tell she is ugly outside too if you look under the brim of her hat. Yuck.

People Who Leave A Train Like This

People Who Leave A Train Like This

HMSBannard Report

Researchers analyzing handrails and other surfaces in the London Underground found an astonishing variety of bacteria that get there by way of human feces, rats, mice, and sewage. Some are even associated with antibiotic-resistant infections.

While the researchers reassure readers that the bacteria won’t be able to get through to most people with healthy immune systems just through skin contact, immunocompromised people, and those who visit people who are, should be extra-careful with hygiene after passing through.

In response to the study, a London transport health and safety director argued that the Tube is not significantly dirtier than any other public place in London, which might not be comforting, but it sounds about right.

Not Sure What Was Happening Here, But I Bailed At The Next Stop

floppyjackhammer Report

As far as the number of unique bacteria found, the New York metro blew London out of the water by the measurements of one study. It mostly paints a similar picture of pathogens that are usually riding around with us in quantities too small to do us harm, but there are some additional residents: New York is ruled by a type of bacteria that’s used to clean up toxic metals from wastewater. Benevolent bacteria used to ferment kimchi and age cheese also like to tag along with metro riders.

In one statistic that's so ominous it's almost funny, researchers also found an abundance of DNA that didn’t match any identifiable organism.

I delayed a train the other day because I couldn't access the wheelchair area of my train because inconsiderate a**holes had left their luggage in the clearly labeled wheelchair area. The guard getting me on the train had to find the luggage owners and make them move their luggage to the luggage racks (all empty and like 5m away) but the 'lovely' luggage owners refused. It took the guard threatening to call transport police to remove them from the train (wheelchair spaces are protected by law on public transport in Britain) for them to finally and slowly move their stuff. They then loudly moaned when the tannoy announcement said we were now running 10 minutes late, seemingly unable to understand that they delayed us. Was a horrible train journey and I wish people were more considerate to wheelchair designated areas, you never know if you'll end up in a wheelchair one day- I didn't expect to!
