My recent peeve is people who sit on the train facing backwards out of choice rather than necessity. When there's loads of empty, forward facing seats what kind of deranged person actually chooses to travel backwards, especially when it's the seat directly opposite me in direct line of sight?! :angry:

What if I sit backwards on a train but it's not facing anyone? Is that okay?

It's still pretty weird if you ask me, I'd certainly judge you and question your sanity.

You do that anyway. I'm going to carry on travelling backwards.

Just because I judge and question the sanity of everybody I see doesn't negate my point. :p Everybody knows that the #1 choice when travelling on public transport is a lone, forward-facing window seat.

What if you're on the tube and you have to travel sideways?

Sideways is acceptable.

People who trace or very, very heavily reference artwork down to the littlest detail and then try to pass it off as 100% their own work and without crediting their reference material or the original source. (Especially if you provide overlays... euugh.)

 

BREATHING. I cannot stand it if I can hear someone breathing across the room. There's no reason I need to hear "snnnnnnn hhhhhhhh snnnnnnn hhhhhh" every three seconds of my day when I'm 30 feet away from you. (Though I just recently found out that apparently people who get pissed at this sort of thing aren't quite all here mentally. Whoops.)

I don't understand. Are there seats facing backwards, or are people sitting in forward facing seats backwards? If someone were to bounce on the train, should both people involved sit facing forwards or should the sitter face forward while the bouncer faces backwards while other people just watch?

Reverse cowgirl seems like the best way to make eye contact with all the other people.

I'd imagine it would be best to do it kangaroo style and bounce up and down the carriage rather than limiting yourself to one seat. Tough on the thighs but with practice it's probably the best option.

And what about people that make sounds while eating and eat with their mouth open.

Or the people that rush to enter the bus and have to pay with cash (and you go with the ticket and have to wait) [Just in case someone don't understand, where you can pay for travel or buy a ticket with 10, 25, 50 or unlimited travels within 3 months]

 

I have so much hate towards people.

Ooh, people who walk up to the barriers at the tube and then spend time fumbling through their bag/pocket for their ticket or Oyster card. At no point do I want to break my stride and you are now HOLDING ME UP.

 

Or when you're delayed from getting somewhere because there's a giant octopus in the middle of Oxford Circus. (Most of you will think this is a classic-Ali-oddness moment. It's not. It happened).

Don't worry, I was once mugged by a monkey. Some animals just can't integrate into society.
