Stand in front of the door while I – and a mass of rush hour commuters – are trying to get off. It’s rude on elevators and it’s just obnoxious when I haven’t had enough morning caffeine yet.
Eat a meal on the El or bus. Beyond the obvious smells and sounds that come with you eating something in a confined public space, eating on the El or bus causes me great concern for your health. You realize someone has urinated on the seat you now use as a table, right?
Conduct a private conversation (lovers’ quarrel) while sitting next to, across from, or down the aisle from me. I’m very sorry for the loss of trust you had for that cheating bastard but at least pick a place to fight that doesn’t involve so much background noise. Eavesdropping isn’t the same if I can’t hear his side, too.
