To all the nice people of public transportation

I am antisocial, yes, so it is not so surprising if I get pissed off by random people on the streets. I can also understand that these said streets might be crowded sometimes, so it is difficult to not bump into people. Same goes for the public transportation.

What I do not understand is that why do people have to be assholes about it? Maybe, probably... hopefully... not on purpose but the outcome is pretty much the same. I mean, would it be so hard to actually consider the fact that there are more people besides you who use the same darn thing every day and would like to get to places, just as you do, without being tossed aside, being stepped on or something similar?

I know that it is hard to take out your pass and/or your ticket of your pocket before you actually reach the people who would like to check them but could you please try and take them out a bit earlier? It's not like you didn't know that before you can enter the area of the metro, your stuff will be looked at. There is no surprise in it, for at least three years this has been the same. So why are you acting like you forgot about it or didn't know in the first place? And okay, let's say you have to do this every day because you do kind of forget. Why do you have to stop in the middle, blocking the path and not letting anyone pass? And if you are asked kindly to move aside you just stare at the person with your stupid face as if it was your birthright not to let them pass? Common sense, people. Please. It is very annoying.

I think I might write an entire blog entry for the lovely khm ladies out there because they are one very annoying aspect of this all. My favorite so far is when I had to do a full stop without any kind of notification because the pretty girl in front of me decided that her heels cannot actually walk her onto the escalator at a normal speed. She has to stop and then kind of toddle onto it at the speed of... well, almost zero. First of all, why do you have to do this? If it was an elderly person, I would absolutely understand and be tolerant, but why do you have to wear heels if you cannot actually walk in them? Why are you wearing them if you know you cannot get on an escalator in them?

I also have a problem with elderly people being complete asses. If I sit, there is a reason for it. Maybe that my bag is too heavy and I couldn't stand because there just wouldn't be anything to hold onto if I stood up. Also, if there wasn't another free seat, I would give up mine, but since there is, why the staring? And then, when some of them sit down, they don't even bother to say thank you. I met a woman once, I gave up my seat and she stared at me as if I just killed her mother in front of her. What the hell? I almost told her to get up because I will sit back. Of course, there are the nice elderly people, and there are nice people who actually have this special skill called common sense, but writing about them... maybe I will do that someday.
There are also the jackasses who take up more space than it is intended. Like some guys and a lot of ladies who put their bags next to them on the metro which takes up half of the next seat. What the hell? Don't you have a lap to put it there? Everyone else can, but not you? Or the floor, what the hell is wrong with the floor? Next thing you're gonna tell me to get up because you want a seat for your damn bag. Seriously? People, wake up, why be assholes? Another level of this is when your ass needs more than one seat and you are size normal. Why can't you be content with the seats so neatly marked on the metro? Why would it hurt you if you wouldn't block a seat for someone else like a complete jackass?
Our next kind of people for today is the people who are talking to another or on the phone as if they wanted the whole world to hear it. At like 60+ years I can understand it. There is such a medical issue, but younger people? Why do you have to do this? I am not interested in your things but I can't help but listen to a conversation this loud. And then if I start to listen to music next to you with my earphones (mind you, they are even closed earphones (or however you actually say that) so there isn't so much music that you can hear from it) you look at me like I was the one who disturbed you.
To this, the other end of it all, when people listen to music with open earphones and I can hear freaking everything. I am not interested in your taste of music, not even when I actually like the same band, so maybe you should try and buy a new set of closed earphones. I know it is shocking but such things actually exist so... try them.

I think my ranting is over for today, although I might left out some people. If you recognize yourself in any of them, please do something and change your behavior because public transport experiences could be much better with just a little bit of discretion.
