12 People On The Morning Commute That Everyone Hates

10. The One Who Conducts Their Affairs To The Whole Carriage

"Hi! Yes I'm just on the train! I'm just getting off my seat! I'm just about to get off the train!" How about you depart this very instant, preferably through the emergency exit? It's astounding to see just how much people are willing to disclose to the public in such a small space. The highest offender for this kind of thing are overtly confident passengers discussing everything from their toilet habits to their last intimate affair. If you don't have headphones in this predicament, you're screwed. Just stare fiercely out the window and pray it all blows over soon.

9. The One That Smells... Real Bad

That moment of dread when the commuter with incredible B.O, sweating profusely, decides to settle RIGHT next to you. Have they...have they wet themselves? Oh God it's unbearable. And why is it, when people get to a certain age they suddenly become unable to breathe with their mouth closed? The smell of stale breath invading your beautiful personal bubble is enough to make you contemplate a James Bond style leap from your carriage. Oxygen mask, ASAP.

8. The Broadsheet Reader

Is that HUGE paper really necessary? Do you really need to sprawl it out like you're some Indiana Jones-style voyager dramatically examining a giant map? It's like a paper gravestone of cold, intimidating news - dominating what little space we have left in here. Damn it, this is what the Internet was invented for - instant news without invading people's comfort on a bleak Monday morning. Put it away.
