Anybody have a MAJOR subway annoyance that happens often?
Mine is door cutters!! Subway arrives.... you stand and wait for people to get off and as people are drifting out... BAM two to 3 people inevitably dash in front of everyone standing/ waiting to get on. I am not a seat person so I do not really care as far as that.... I just get irked by the overall complete lack of basic manners. These are adults! Where is their minimum standard of decency? Have they no shame? This kills me. I see it everyday.
Annoyance #2: Arriving on an express/local and as you pull up to the platform.... you see the express/ local that you need across the way. AND... it is not crowded at all. YES !!! Wait.... why is it pulling away before the door opens? WHY?? WHY?? !!!!!
1. Begging on the subway, usually by loud-mouthed "representatives" of some bogus homeless organization.
2. People who take up more than two seats, either by sitting with their legs spread (men) or putting shopping bags on the seat next to them (usually women).
3. People who stand in front of the doors and won't move aside to let others exit.
4. People who block the stairs when you're coming out of the subway, usually to check their cellphones.
You already have mine's covered so i'll plagerize off of kemcnyc and stillife!

Ok, here's another 2.
5. High school kids...enough said
4. when i'm working up in the Bronx and the kids constantly make fun of random passengers OUT LOUD, no manners at all nowadays no matter how poor they are perceived.

Even if I am not hoping for a seat, I can't stand it when the door cutters (or even the people who were legitimately next to the door when the subway pulls up) push into the car BEFORE the exiting passengers have been able to make it out. It is extremely rude and just slows everything down.
And wow, on #5 - I have never witnessed that and hope I don't have to. I thought loud teenagers were annoying but I didn't realize there are some groups who are making fun of passengers out loud. "Making fun" doesn't seem like the right expression for this.
The "step in and stop". Person steps in and just steps at the door even though there are 10 people behind trying to get on. It is like "I want to stand by the door so you are all going to have to squeeze in via a 1 foot space between bodies".
Ah.... and the teenagers! Good point. The language. The disrespect. Terrible.
My major annoyance at the moment is people who play their music too loud. If you want to play your music so loud why not invest in some good headphones that way I don't have to suffer through your poor taste in music.
Probably the beggars, the homeless drunks, and foul mouthed kids who are old enough to be sans supervision, but aren't old enough to know how to act like an adult in public.
1. High School Kids
2. When the train is extremely crowded and there's no more room, but people still try to shove their way inside
3. People who squeeze into the tiny space next to you and then try to take away all of your room
4. People who don't move when you're trying to get off
5. When you're standing in the seat by the door and someone is standing next to you and just leans on you or knocks into you or has a bag thats pressing against your face or something
6. I don't mind the homeless people, I DO mind the people who play music in the train.. I don't want to hear it
7. Service changes and the conductor is mumbling so no one has any idea what is going on
8. Delays in service, whether it be the 7 train never working or the 2 train constantly stopping for ten minutes at each station, or between stations
There's a lot more, but I'll leave it at that, lol.
People with overstuffed backpacks who don't seem to realize that they are taking up space extending another foot or so behind their bodies and you can't squeeze by them.
