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.

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.

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

What Bugs Me Most About This Is That There’s Usually A Super Nice Guy In A Wheelchair Who Stays There And I Bet He Had To Move Because Of This Lovely Person
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!
How selfish are you? Of course you could have stored yourself and your wheelchair on the racks. 😉 Bet they blamed you if they were to late to wherever they were going.

While this is annoying, there is nothing to say that the person who put this here would not have moved it if a disabled person got on the train. Annoying.. Certainly, Incosiderate... Would have to give them the benefit of the doubt
Proposed new rule; 'Any luggage or other property found where it should not be can be considered 'lost' and can be removed by the guard'.
This is exactly the reason that one should carry a pocket knife and while pretending to tie their shoe, stab the tires.
For me, this is usually a crazy woman with a GIANT stroller and about 40 diaper bags, ignoring the screaming child while "busy" with her phone. I'll say "excuse me" quite loudly and point to the handicapped sign. Sometimes they move, sometimes they don't. A quick explanation of "I become a bulldozer when this train starts moving if my brakes fail and I can't hold on to that railing right there" usually gets them moving pretty quick
I use a walker and have to stand half the time. I started getting loud and it's working a little bit.
My son is autistic and has a muscle disorder that makes him weak. He has pituitary dysfunction which makes him feel ill or dizzy. I just bought him this exact scooter hoping to give him some more freedom. He's too afraid to drive a car, and is obsessed with going to the store or gas station. Now he can ride his scooter there
Can those bikes be folded? If so, fold it out of the way, put it in the luggage compartment and stop being such a jerk.
This reminds me of when I was about 7 or 8 and into reading signs all around me. We got on a subway for a take your daughter to work day. I had just read a sign that said please don’t block the isles and exits with bikes or something along those lines. Next stop someone comes in with a bike and blocked the entrance hes only like 2ft away and I told my dad what I had read my dad said to let it go. The guy overheard and cussed me out. I start crying and the guy moved as he realized he was in the wrong. No apology though.
if i was in a wheelchair, i 'd throw the bike in the middle of the aisle.
EVERYONE SHOULD READ Alexandra's post. Happens all the time, and needs to stop!
If you look closely, the bike lock is only secured around the seat. I would have removed the seat and left it at a random station. Let them look for it. Either that, or just remove the front tie and the seat and throw it at random stations. Good luck riding it home with no seat or wheel.
For all we know, the e-scooter rider may only have one leg. They just hop on it, hit the juice and go.
In my city, the transit police would cut the chain holding it and toss it out the door. You don't eff with handicapped spaces!!!
What city do you live in? I’m genuinely curious

Ok, here's what we all need to do: let's always have a padlock with us, even a small one, it has to be strong though. Then when you see something like that, lock the wheels so when they come to pick they scooter, bikes etc, they can't use them.

Looks innocent enough... She even refrain from putting dirty sneakers on the seat! Impressive in comparison to the last photos I've seen! unless there were people standing, and she refused to offer them a seat, I don't see a big deal
Note: this post originally had 99 images. It’s been shortened to the top 29 images based on user votes.
Ok, first, are there no employees on those metros? Second, why does everyone simply accept this? I always have people move over and move their bags when I want to sit on a crowded train. I’m not standing for 20+ minutes while someone else uses more than one seat!
I'm not sure about other cities, but NYC MTA personnel do not man the train cars. Also, you take your own life and well-being in to your hands if you ask someone to move or move their stuff.

Respect for shared spaces? Consideration for other human beings? Do these things not exist anymore?
While i dont agree with any of this... once on my way to the psyc hospital (was severely alcoholic and had anxiety/withdrawal to the point of almost fainting, it was before i got sober) i just lay Down on the floor on the subway not to faint. People stepped all over me but it was my only choice. Sometimes people are a******s, sometimes people just do what they need to do.
Thank you for your perspective from the other side. I can't imagine how hard you must have worked to get sober, cheers!

One has to remember alot of homeless ride the subways and they tend to have mental problems.. telling them to get up or remove their feet could easily esculate into a brawl
I understand that this is funny (I think) but isn’t this a little rude to the people who are in these photos? No one knows what these people are going through. Some of it is obviously rude, like the piled luggage, but some of these could be personal.
Where is train security? In my city, you tell the driver & they call security in the next stop.
Train security? What's that? At least half of these photos are from the New York City subway--there is no train security. You either take care of the problem yourself or ignore it. I've seen people sit on people who won't move over. Problem in NYC is you never know if the person is going to lose it and stab you....

Some of these are clearly entitled jerks, but others..... You don't know what someone is going through. You don't know if it is taking all of their effort to just be in public or on public transportation, maybe having people pressed up against them it too much and will cause a next level freak out. For the women taking up room, you don't know what's happened to them. Perhaps they've been groped or assaulted one to many times and now don't give an eff if you have to stand, so that they have a grope free day. Making fun of the homeless is never ok, btw. I'm just saying, I find more at fault with the public shame photo campaign, than the one time they inconvenienced you. You got on with your day, you've now immortalized them on the internet. The punishment is not commensrate to the 'crime'.
It's time to bring back public beatings. Haul them off the train, take them to the front of the station so all the other inconsiderate A-holes can see...and beat them. With sticks. Mark my words, this would stop. 3 months, tops.
Where are the photos of the stroller mafia ??? The ones with the HUGE strollers that battle with the mobility scooters and wheelchairs for the seats at the front of the bus?
Smith I'm on the bus in Ottawa and an Asian couple start hauling there super-seater double-trouble stroller onto the bus during RUSH HOUR. They couldn't or wouldn't speak English even though the driver was telling them not to get on the bus.

I'm embarrassed at how many of these are the NYC subway. That being said, just this morning I took a photo of a guy who was on the train with his bike blocking 3 seats... and don't even get me started on the manspreaders!
Every bus and subway I've been on has signs that say not to block priority seating or you will get fined. Nobody ever actually gets fined. That is why these idiots keep on doing it. As far as idiots taking up multiple seats, listening to loud music, making messes, etc etc, I think part of the reason nobody ever says/does anything is becuase they are afraid. Let's face facts, people are crazy today. Who wants to get shot or stabbed simply becuase you asked someone to move their feet.
Bruh people in front of me on the metra train were vaping weed and it stank up the whole car. Do people have no sense??!?!
I would ask them to move so I could sit. If they didn't, i would loudly ask their name, and begin taking pictures and letting them know i will report them to public transport, and then pit the pics on social media and find their family and when i did, i would send the pics to their mom and dad or girlfriend and in effect, make their life unfun and expose them for the a*****e behavior they Show to people . I am sure bosses , moms and girlfriends would like to know what they do!
where I come from you can still ask "can I sit here" and people will remove their stuff. If I take the train and theres no one in the compartement I place my bag on a seat too. untill it gets crowed and I take it on my lap. Some one wants to sit next to me I take it, no problem. Having said that, once some crazy women just sat on my purse without asking, I was the ONLY person in the trains compartement, she walked in, had 50 seats to choose from, saw me, and just sat down on my purse and then I was the bad one.
I am really getting tired of millennials and centennials not doing s**t when confronted with these situations in real time, choosing instead to take photos and expect us to cry in outrage and rally behind them when we see them in pointless sites like this one. If you didn't say anything to these people while they were doing their stuff, don't expect me to react the way you want me to when I see this kind of content. It's not gonna happen.
Social acceptance of those behaviours is what strengthens them. If everyone around reacted and for example shoved off the person from the seat then perhaps in time we wouldn't see such situations. But now everyone just looks, takes pics and is brave to post on the net and whine there.
I always thought that trains here in the Philippines are the worst in the world, always crowded, always having technical problems, delays, lack of train wagons but after seeing this I was relieved that people here are very considerate to others. We move if there are still empty seats, we also give it when someones in need. Trains here doesn't allow you to drink and eat inside the platform and train that also goes to smoking inside. If we we're tired we always sleeps sitting and sitting on the floor are fine on the part where you wouldn't obstruct anyone. Bicycles are allowed but just the collapsible ones.
This is why the ticket conductor should never have been lost. Though in my hometown, the trains all have guards on them after 6pm for safety, that walk up and down the trains. People are still gross, but the worst of it is noted and or corrected as they come past.
I love how there are several examples of men AND women taking up way more than their fair share of space on a train, and what do some say when a man does it: Man-spreading! Man-spreading! Man-spreading! This is why people vote for Trump - not that they should (I think very little of him and his ilk), but it's why people do.
I got on a train with my Fiancée and my daughter in 2018 during summer. It was a very hot day and I am disabled with severe heart issues. There were no seats as the tran was packed and an arsehole was sat on the floor blocking an entire area off where 4 people could comfortably stand. I asked him to move so that I could stand and hold onto a hand rail and he refused. Now, as I get more physically stressed, and it happens very easily, I tend to sweat like niagra falls and this guy was sitting there reading a book on his tablet. So I leaned right over him and dripped on him for a 45 minute train journey while my fiancee made a fuss of me and my heart problem. Other passengers were giving him the evil eye within minutes and he was too scared to say anything. He tried to get up when an old guy stood right in front of him in such a way so as to stop him getting up unless he wanted a mouthful of geriatric gonads and he talked to me asking if I was ok and do I need some water. Soaked the git!
We do have a nice world. It's awesome and we literally, empirically are the luckiest people to have ever lived. It's time to be more grateful.

Now I understand why my friend wouldn't let me take the subway when I was in NYC visiting. I always wanted to try it but he refused to let me. His parents were/are very wealthy so I thought he was acting like a rich kid. They all need to learn from Japan. Their subway is the best in the world, so clean and never ever late. Now trying to figure your routes is a different story. Lol
I rode public buses when I was in High School. I vowed from then on to use public transit as little as possible. I understand that makes me part of what's wrong with America, but seriously, look at it.
I have seen scenes like these in England mostly. Lots of people don't respect public property and other people, I would have to say mostly immigrants. Going to live in a place nicer than your country ... doesn't it mean that you want to keep it that way?Many people ruin the things in the shops without buying anything. It is a disaster. Western Europe's culture is built for many centuries and it took a lot of time to adjust rules and behavior so people could live together without bothering each other. Now with all the immigration, people from different countries come and behave the same way as in their own dysfunctional society and expect that locals will clean the mess. Some even act as if locals own them something. Don't pretend it is not true. Yes, in their countries nobody says anything about pistachios on the floor ... only that they don't have metro but only dirt roads. I know, I am an immigrant too. The locals treat all people as if they are responsible enough, which is a mistake - they are not used to follow any rules and should be fined until they learn to respect rules and society. It is for their own good.
So, if some immigrant breaking the law and doing lots of such stuff - he/she should be recorded each time by police for doing it, after like 3-5 such situations be not allowed to enter the country. This is how I see it. I always follow all the public rules, always respect the country I live in. I always thought it is a logical and natural way of behaviour when you come to a foreign country to build your future. But I never knew before that some immigrants just come to s**t on another country.

Omg. You seriously think that cultures that keep their pinky nails long do it to pick their noses?? They do it to show that they aren't poor and that they don't have to work with their hands! If you really have sat down with a person that explained to you it's ok to pick their nose you are 1) an idiot and 2) you deserved that nose picking.
I've never been on a subway/ metro. I think it would take someone holding a gun to my head to make me get on one. Not that anyone would notice.
Better title would have been "100 reasons for civilised people to stop using public transport."
Some things - nail clipping, feet in your face, trash - are gross, but at least some of the people on here are homeless or maybe simply exhausted. We don't know. And some countries allow smoking and littering on trains, so these things are only antisocial when in a country where it's not pernitted.

Better title would have been "100 reasons for civilised people to stop using public transport."
Some things - nail clipping, feet in your face, trash - are gross, but at least some of the people on here are homeless or maybe simply exhausted. We don't know. And some countries allow smoking and littering on trains, so these things are only antisocial when in a country where it's not pernitted.
Omg. You seriously think that cultures that keep their pinky nails long do it to pick their noses?? They do it to show that they aren't poor and that they don't have to work with their hands!
