"I can't stand it when someone comes across a row like this:
[person].[empty].[empty]............[empty].[me]
and sits down next to me rather than on the other side of the aisle where there is additional space."
same here

"People eating that are sitting right beside you: I find this incredibly rude. Now don't get me wrong this is different on an un-crowded bus or subway car. And I don't mean people eating a granola bar or drinking water, even I do that. I mean people who have like sour cream and onion or dill pickle chips right beside you and the smell just overpowers you. The chips are okay, but the smell is nauseating in cramped spaces. Also there are people who eat fast food (aka McDonalds) and stink up the whole bus. I think it's just rude to the people around you if you're having especially smelly or noisy food (I once saw someone go all-out and have some Congee Noodle soup on the subway)."
I'm so glad SMRT bans food on the trains -
I become Grouchy over
1. People who lean their entire body on the pole. Even when it is CROWDED. Even when they KNOW I am holding the pole. Worse is if they are flirting w whoever they are on the train to begin with.
2. People who get off the escalator.. then.. they.. don't MOVE?!?! They sort of pause and wonder to go left or right.. then people behind me are pushing me forward and I am trying to restrain myself from shoving this clueless person.. and then I get 'tsk' from people BEHIND ME.
NB. -
Yah, its like these people have no spine. From personal experience, its usually the malays and indians that like to do this, at least for adults. Students wearing school uniform also like doing that, regardless of race.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:I become Grouchy over

My grandfather stopped being able to walk without his walking frame because of a young lady who was on the escalator in front of him, who stopped when she reached the bottom and was busy tossing her hair and posing and looking pretty when my grandfather, in his attempt to get off the escalator without pushing her, tripped, and fell and injured his leg so badly, he became bedridden for the next few weeks!
And he never walked unaided and with ease again thereafter! -

I hate these type of people and unlike your grandfather, I quite literally walk through them all the time. Knocked over quite a few ah lians, ah bengs, and aunties. Just because you're female and reasonably attractive does not mean that I will not shoulder you out of my way 
-
Once there is one girl who lean on the pole even she know I know holding it. Slowly, she leans on my shoulder. She is qiute pretty and I guess she wants to get fresh.

I hate it when people push their way out of the crowded train even when they see that people are already trying their best to move out as fast as they can. Just on friday there was this woman behind me who kept saying "excuse me" and trying to get out of the train when everybody else around her is also trying to get out. Damn irritating. Almost turned around and asked her to shut up, can't she see we are all in the process of getting off the train too. Sometimes I wonder if these people have brains or not.
-
I just dont understand why people just cant let those who wants to alight alight first. Then people who want to go in will keep on pushing.

Bad.. This morning..
It's already quite crowded and the uncle who just boarded the bus still want to squeeze with the already squeezy limited standing place.. He squeezed as though he has never board a bus before..
Another case.. Same bus.. The auntie can't even wait for me to move and she opened her mouth to "excuse me" liao.. Ok fine.. She's polite in saying "excuse me".. Rush for the seats as though the seats are like some OSIM message chairs that will cure her of her back problems..
Worst case.. I saw someone putting his cough mucus on the chair..
-
i hate dirty old men who stare at my chest....
i hate ah lians who glare at me when i bumped into them accidentally because some jerk bumped into me.
sigh. -
stupid bus driver, she always late in the morning and there will be a lot of commuters. Then she will tell us too to squeeze and squeeze. People stop humouring her because we all know she is the stupid one. Over crowded buses are dangerous. I hate the stupid bus driver. Ever day, without fail, she will be late 10 minutes, and the next bus is just 5 minutes away.

got this stupid uncle who pushed his way out of the mrt then when i trying to get on the escalator, he oso pushed to jump in front of me, so i got pissed n pushed him aside.
after that, he said push u a bit only what will die huh.
i replied : "since u like to push so much, i gave u a push to the front lah, idiot" -
Sometimes, I go out with a backpack. Now, I know backpacks stick out. Then you just squeeze a bit more to move past me lah, saying ex-skius me 100 times at my face my backpack also cannot become smaller what, and I'm already pinned against the side of the bus or mrt!
DO ALL YOU MOTHER- FU CKERS UNDERSTAND THAT YOU PRICKS, YOU SONS-OF-BITCHES!!!???? AND THE NEXT FUCKING BIT CH WHO SLAPS ME ON THE ARM WHEN I CANNOT MOVE ANY FURTHER IN OR OUT IS GOING TO FU CKING DIE WHEN I PLANT MY FIST IN HER UGLY FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KA'PISH?!

MRT
SMRT has reduced the mileage travelled by trains though ridership has increased
