This morning has to be one of the worst I have experienced. Yelling, arguments, all just because people were wanting to get to work.
It seems to bring out the worst in people. I am sure that they're all prefectly nice people, but cramp them on a overheated tin-can for far too long and things go pear shaped.
I am no different. I wanted to but quite a few of my fellow commuters this morning. And its amazing how you hate someone who is even slightly over-weight.

i'm not sure they're all perfectly nice people. i think they're overweight, sweaty, lumbering mutants who understand neither the basics of oral hygeine nor decent manners.
i hate them all.

I always liked going to and fromwork in the tube (in toronto) New faces everyday doing something different... Always someone to chat with.
Now I'm stuck in a car by myself, And since I hate my guts, it sucks bigtime!

I love how people get so grumpy and angry with eachother because they all want to get to work on time.
But really, no one actually wants to go to work.
People should learn simple things like brushing their teeth in the morning and using deodorant though

I had a sweet girl start flirting with me from South Ken to Green Park! Not that I didn't enjoy the attention, the pouts, the flash of navel piercing and the smiling but doesn't anybody respect the wedding band anymore?!?
Not to make her efforts feel unappreciated, I flashed her a wink as she looked back through the window at me when she got off.
what line were you on pocketrocket?

Maybe the people who don't brush their teeth or use deodorant before they get to work are one step ahead of you guys - I bet each and every one had a clear-zone of at least 20cm or so around them, whilst you lot where all forced into each other's armpits.
It's a war out there - there's no treaty preventing the use of chemical munitions.

I am on the Bakerloo line. I get on at queenspark, which is usually means an empty tube as 1 in 2 tube originate from there.
But today, the system was as fucked as a prom date on Rohypnol. Atleast my pregnant wife got offered a seat.

how about a separate carriage for designers? We could get Marc Newson on the case to design it.

Thats a great idea, not for the segregation, but for the fact that turn of the century rolling stock, isn't what a modern transport system should be about.

Oh God yeah - I really hate that too, honest. I mean - how retarded (socially and mentally) does one need to be do sit there, tinnily excreting shoddy urban choonz, whilst everyone else grins and bears?
I've taken to blatantly staring and making spacker faces at people who annoy me in public - I think (I hope) that I come across just enough like a potentially psychotic Jock to dissuade people from responding with fists and violence.

(Sep 14 06, 03:36)I hate that too. I had a headache the other day on the bus and I was with my girlfriend. These two kids were playing some horrible shit music from their phone. I gave them a few glares but they carried on. Eventually I ask them politely to put it off.
At first they tried to pretend they didn't speak english and were talking to eachother in some indian dialect, but I'd already heard them talking in english, so I said 'I know you can understand me, please turn if off', and they did!
If you just look angry and ask nicely most kids will shut up.

people you shouldn't get on the Grump Tube, and get the London Underground instead?
Although, by the sounds of it, its the place you should be on... Don't you think that everyone else feels the exact way as you?
- pascii0
do they serve drinks in the london tube?
- republik80
Drinks? No.

Tramps pee in the corner on occasion. I'm sure if you asked one kindly enough...
