3 things that are close to pushing me over the commuting edge
1] Small cases with wheels and long extending handles ....just carry the blasted thing ! dont drag it behind you on crowded streets,station concourses,platforms and wait to cripple someone , its damned inconsiderate !...these are excusable if they are large and pushed around at an airport otherwise users lack of consideration for others appals me ..if theres anyone who wants to defend them... well have at thee! its palace programmes at 20 paces for you
2]Rucksacks ...if you have to wear one take it off the moment you get on the train ,it is not a fashion hump! everytime time you turn round wearing one you will obliviously yet inconsiderately smack someone in the chops ...or just get a bag/case or the use the rucksack for the hiking/camping holiday you never go on
3]Trainers with a suit ....for Gods sake why !!!!! just get some comfortable normal shoes

people who take bikes on a train, ride the f**king thing
as said above, far to many more to mention...
It's 2011, you have a shower, use it!
What are the chances of introducing a sedan chair service from Bromley to the City.?..no carbon footprint !
What rizzo said
I could be hear all day listing things
A few are southeasterns staff, prices, service, heating on in the summer, heating off in the winter. Hitting there targets so they can jack prices up. There targets must be lower than Maggie thatchers fun bags
Never done it long term. Never will.
Using South Eastern daily would take 5-6 years off your life.
People talking really loudly on the phone pisses me off. And espcially when people are yapping on about work. AS IF ANYONE GIVES A TOSS PAL! Do your work when you arrive at work?! Simples.
Flying past the den and catching a glimpse of it, that's not good. Ever.
Overcrowding- Its 2011, we all pay a LOT of money. How on earth can the people in charge not add more services to reduce overcrowding?
Not having toliets on some trains. Running for the last train after 10 pints to find you need one, but oh look there isn't any on this train! Great.
Sorry, but if some pr*ck get in my way as I'm coming off the train/tube because you're too impatient to wait I WILL, deliberately, put the shoulder in.
Also, totally agree with the small bag on wheels thing. Especially when its a grown man. Unless you're carrying lead/dark matter in that thing, PICK IT UP you pathetic c***
Cyclists with with their bikes.
People who pick their nose and think no one can see.
People who put their bags on the seats when it has been raining outisde. Not a clue.
Virtually all of the above:
People listening to loud rubbish music with crappy headphones (usually white) and leaking thear tinny, sh1tty taste into my airspace.
People who get on a train in one door then walk up the train. It's quicker to walk up the platform, pick the carraige you want and then get on there. If you're hoping to find some oasis where there are plush seats, complimentary nibbles and maidens at your beck and call, stop searching now. All the carraiges will be as full as the one that you started in, they'll just contain slightly more hacked off commuters because you've just uneccesarily pushed past them.
People who insist on starting to get off when the train leaves the station before. Yes, I understand that you are too stupid to realise that there's ample time to get off if you make your move when the train stops and if you're not affecting anyone else then your stupidity doesn't bother me. But if it's a packed carraige - most of whom are getting off anyway - that you're trying to negotiate yourself through, just wait.
People who keep trying to make a telephone call when the train is going through tunnels. "Hello. Hi. Can you hear me? Hello? It's me. Hello". Phone rings again. "Don't know what happened there. Anyway... hello? Are you still there? Hello" Rings again. "Dunno what's going on. Hello" They don't wait underground, just wait 10 minutes before conducting your earth shattering business.

SOUTHEASTERN!
Getting 'bum shouldered' annoys me big time.
For those unaware of 'bum shouldering' it is when sitting in an aisle seat (often near the door) and your shoulder gets continuously bumped by the arses of the standing passengers nearby.
Far far too many to mention but fat people shouldnt be allowed a seat in my opinion when they take up half of mine.
People that want to listen to (usually shite) music really loud.
People who put their bags on the floor instead of the luggage rack and then get the hump when I kick it (on purpose)
Snorers
People who text or use the keypad on their phone with sound on
People, well when I say people usually two 40 plus year old women nattering rubbish loudly
People who phone home moaning about the trains being delayed the minute the train shows any sign of slowing down
People watching a film on their IPad/Laptop and laughing out loud.
£3000 a year I pay for this!!
Young ladies with far too much cleavage which bounces around when you go over the points.
People on mobiles who say 'I'm on the train'
Coffee and tea drinkers who look like they don't give a sh*t if they spill it all over the place
Fare dodgers - (We know who you are!)
God botherers - Yes we get few now and then, very difficult to avoid too!
Big Issue sellers
Feet/bags on seats and reluctant to move them
Window lickers
Fidgets
