Fully opening a newspaper -

Don't be that person who spreads open their newspaper. It takes up so much space and covers room for at least two people. Either fold it up or read the news on your phone!

Doing your nails -

No one wants to see or sit next to someone cutting their nails on public transport. The same goes with painting your nails with smelly nail polish.

Not giving your seat to someone who actually needs it -

There's nothing worse than seeing a young person sitting down and ignoring a pregnant woman or an elderly person. Don't do that, give them your seat.

Excessive PDA -

There's nothing wrong with showing someone that you love them. But showing too much PDA in a small area like a bus or train can make fellow passengers uncomfortable.

Listening to music out loud -

Headphones exist for a reason, so do use them. Not everyone is into the same music, and even if they were, it doesn't mean they want to listen to it at that moment.

Not holding on -

If you're standing during your journey, try to hold on. Refusing to do so is just strange, and you end up spending the entire journey stumbling and stepping on other people's feet.

Failing to move down -

There's nothing more infuriating than trying to catch a train, but you can't get in because people insist on standing in clusters around the doors. Move down!

Not paying -

Don't try slipping on for free. Not only is it wrong, but you could also get hit with a huge fine.

Walking too slowly -

People are often in a rush to get somewhere. Don't stop in the middle of the walkway or stroll slowly. You don't know how frustrating that is for the busy person stuck behind you!

Having the volume on the loudest setting -

Playing your music so loud that everyone can hear it is also a big no-no. Turn it down for your own health too. After all, you also don't want tinnitus.

Dancing and schmoozing to your music -

Of course, a little dance move, feeling your own music is fine. But busting out some choreography can be a bit excessive, especially during rush hour.

The way many of our bus captains drive causes passengers to sway back and forth, even when there is no music being played. LOL!

Putting your arms on either side of someone

Don't cage people in, even if the train or bus is packed and there are limited railings to hold onto. It's still essential to respect the personal space and comfort of others.

If it is a man putting his arms on either side of a woman commuter, that could qualify as "sexual harassment".

Taking own sweet time Boarding or Aligning coz eyes stick to mobile. This is the most annoying ... :o-o:
I was walking behind a woman whose eyes were glued to her mobile phone at West Mall recently, when she decided to abruptly make a sharp turn to her left to go up the escalator. This caused me to make a sudden emergency stop to avoid her colliding into me. Instead of apologising, she glared at me as if I was the person who made an abrupt change of direction to cause a near collision.

Falling alseep on people

We get it, you're tired, and snoozing on the train or bus is fine, but don't fall asleep on someone else's shoulders. That's just awkward for everyone involved.
