There is train etiquette...read this and please stick to it!

The quickest way to get around London is by tube, everyone knows this. Which explains why so many bozos also use it.

As soon as you enter the train station the anger starts to mount. You get to the ticket machine to top up your oyster card, inevitably there is a que. The people in the que always take forever, what takes so long? Ill tell you what takes so long, stupidity. They fumble around for their oyster card in their bag, like why didn’t you do that while you were standing in the que? Then they fumble around for their purse. Did you think the top up was free?

By this time you have missed a train and now you have to wait for the next one. You now make your way to the escalator...that’s right another que. But this one could be avoided easily, by walking down them. You see, there are two sides to an escalator, one for the people who want to stand and one for people to walk down. That is why on one side is kept clear, for people who are moving. But here is the thing, there is always one absolute moron who stands on the moving side. WHY? Do you think people stand on one side in single file for fun? No. Its because the side your standing on is for people walking down. How can you be so unaware of your surroundings? How is that possible? You can see no one is standing on that side, you can see people walking and you must be able to realise there is now traffic mounting of tutting people behind you.   

On the platform you see people just standing around everywhere paying no attention to anything. You try to walk down the platform to get out of the mass of sheep that have formed close to the entrance. ‘Excuse me’ does not work, these zombies do not move they just stand there like the brainless bints they are. So you gently push your way through to a piece of space and stand back near the wall like a normal person, to let people pass. But there are always some idiots that walk along and stand right in front of you the dumbest of which stand on or past the yellow line. Contrary to popular belief the yellow line is there for a reason it’s not just a weird design put there for decoration. It’s saying: “don’t stand on or past me if you do you could fall or get hit by the train”. I mean to be honest your safety means nothing to me, I don’t care if you want to put your own life at risk. What I care about is if you get hit or fall on to the tracks you’re holding up my journey, your ignorance is going to me late.

The train comes, usually after a delay of some kind because some pillock fell on to the tracks. At this point the sheep start moving towards the doors before they even open, ramming each other out of the way. The doors open and instead of letting people off the train like first they push their way on forcing a jam between sheep wanting to get on the train and off it. Now we’re at a stand off. Slowly they push past each other using sheer force and determination. At this point if there is no room or the doors are closing don’t try and jump on, getting your big stupid head stuck in the closing doors. Well done, now we have to watch as the doors open and close repeatedly making us later than we already are.

Now we are all on the train packed in like sardines near the doors because some douphes don’t have the brain power to realise that if they just move down in to the carriage there will be more room for everyone. The worst people in these situations are those who lean on the poles, great you selfish twat now there is nothing to hold on to for everyone else, unless we want to touch a part of you. Tall people, You guys can reach the god damned hanging things, hold on to them. Leave the poles for us short people. Also think about short people, I always end up with some tall man who keeps backing up forcing me in to the smallest corner of the carriage and keeps leaning on me until I scream at his dumb lanky ass.

That’s another thing, personal space. I understand we have to deal with the little space we have been given. However that doesn’t mean you can put your hands wherever you want. The close vicinity we are forced to stand in does not give the right for rubbing, pinching or caressing strangers. It does not warrant a wandering hand. Keep your hands to yourself. Also I do not want your stinky arm pit in my face.  

Its not just armpits that stink though. I mean it’s inevitable that one may end up in your face on a train, for this reason you should wash and wear deodorant. Also don’t breathe your stinky breath all over the place. Breathe through your nose I don’t want you breathing on me. Don’t eat stinky food on the train or before getting on one. Why should we have to suffer? Oh and don’t forget those people who burp, cough and sneeze without putting their hand up to their face. Stop spreading your germs. It’s disgusting. Its almost as bad as those people that piss and vomit on trains, I once saw a man piss himself on a seat, then vomit as he stumbled off. It was funny though as some woman pushed an old woman out the way to sit in that seat, yes she sat in the piss ridden seat, and it served her right.

That’s another thing why do people fight for seats; it’s like survival of the laziest. Jeez you have legs use them don’t fight people to sit down. I never sit down because I usually end up standing for an old person who is upset that I thought her old enough to be offered a seat or a pregnant woman who is just fat. So to avoid this I just stand. But then I see elderly frail people get on or heavily pregnant people and no one offers them a seat. Healthy men and women will sit while someone suffers standing. It just shows the nature of mankind and how uncaring, we as a nation have become.

This is why I hate trains they makes us turn in to animals!
