@@BellBeakerBlokeI live in France and it's Africans that are up to it usually 100% last time I was on a night bus to Barcelona, the bus had wifi so as soon as we started this woman from ivory coast started video call. I fell asleep and woke up and in all fairness it was another African telling her to shut up, looked at my watch, she had been going for 2 hours lol
A lot of these "peeves" can be boiled down to a lack of politeness. We (British) are culturally very polite but with the destruction of what it is to be British coupled with the influx of other "enriching" cultures politeness just isn't valued as it should be in our current society.
8:35 I remember seeing a sign at Shibuya Station (Tokyo) stating, “ We are sorry your train will be 3 minutes late… due to earthquake”. Amazing. The English train system would be crippled for weeks in the same situation.
I was recently taking the train from King’s Cross to Edinburgh and there were some delays caused by a broken down train on the route. My train looked to be leaving on time and was announced to board over twenty minutes before it was due to leave. Temporary barriers had been erected and they would not let us through even though it had been announced to board. Eventually several of us just had to push our way through regardless and get on the train. It departed about 5 minutes late and at least half of the seats on our carriage were empty, even though you could see that they had been booked from KC. People must have been prevented from boarding their train by the station staff, for no good reason. What a bloody shambles.
I read a lot of ww2 history and when they dropped the bomb on one of the jap city’s I remember reading that one of the train stations was open 5 days later lol
I remember being on a bus one morning and a couple of women sat behind me chatting. You've never known the nature of true fear until you've half-heard someone loudly saying: "Yeah they told me I have to take the pills or else I go psychotic but I've been off them for weeks now and feel fine!"
Which was only slightly worse than the time I caught a taxi at the taxi rank and the driver immediately started umotivatedly talking about his second job at the local abattoir and how much he liked using all the knives...
I always wear noise cancelling headphones on the bus. It's the only way to completely muffle all the assholes I'm forced to ride with. I don't care if I look autistic, most people seem to think I'm autistic anyway.
Public transport. I’ve always hated it. Ever since I was a kid. As soon as I was old enough to drive I got my driving licence. Smelly noisy plebs on buses and trains? No thanks. I’m too much of a snob.
I hate it, too. Public transportation is like a magnet for @ssholes. I’d rather get to my destination by crawling on all fours, rather than take a city bus.
I once see a man eat a bowl of cereal on the train. In a bowl. As in a fucking porcelain bowl with milk and cereal i was starring in disbelief like you couldnt have woken up 10 mins earlier to do this in the house
As an American, I have a car and therefore eat, speak, and lounge however I wish while moving from place to place. In a twist of irony, though, my car is British 😂

It's completely unlike the public transport in my city in Poland. Aside from few days in a year, when there was a heatwave and a coinciding traffic, usually caused by some kind of a car crash - it was always clean, relatively quiet, not that crowded, there were free seats, no crime, no "diversity". Especially taking a trolley (? - a form of a city train) was really psychologically relaxing, after a day of school. Haven't used it in years.
In my experience, Polish trams and buses are not the best. In Krakow, they are crowded, hot, the bus drivers aggressive, and their are often suspect people riding (aggressive or worrying criminal-like behavior). Still it is not too bad.
@@jacobspringer8708 Maybe in the recent years it went to hell. I stopped using trams and buses around 2015, and before that I've never experienced any of that, except for the occasional heat and crowd. Probably the flooding of our major cities with millions of Ukrainians and other foreigners caused it. It's about 5 million since 2014.
American here. I went to London when I was 15. When it came to walking on the sidewalks, I thought "Well, since they drive on the left, maybe they walk on the left too." I learned on day one, from a very frustrated local, to _"WALK ON THE RIGHT ANGLE."_ But I still observed how everyone else walked on the sidewalk and no one at all adhered to this man's rule. There were always three imagined lanes.
In Seattle, some urbanites will board the busses without paying. Even if a fare officer boards they will generally get off without issue. They are not personally invested in the upkeep of these systems, and they see it is taken care of for them, why should they bother? It is a problem of apathy.
Food in general on public transit ought to be a peeve. Beyond it just being smelly, the spills, crumbs, and trash it leaves encourage pests, disease, and general filth to build up in these cramped shared places. It's one thing on a longer distance train, intercity bus, or airplane, where there's plenty of seating room and the trash is collected. But on local transit, don't eat!
American here, I don't know why you've got this idea that the clapping on airplane flights came from us. I've been on more than 20 domestic flights in the past 5 years and not once did anyone clap.
my eldests first flight from uk to paris was the worst flight ive ever been on for turbulence, so bad that the oxygen masks came down all at once, and yes, they clapped when we landed safely ... i was trying to tell my child that its not always that bad
Waffle, I flew before and after 9/11, and I only saw it after 9/11, probably on 3 separate flights over the years. In fact, I flew not long after 9/11 and it seemed half of the passengers wanted to hug the crew. I wonder if the clapping is a nervous holdover from that era which kind of stuck around?
Yeah people on their phone in public transport get to me every time... I don't mind the "white person call", you know the one, Phone rings, and in a lowered voice they say "i'm on the train, i'll call you back later,..., yeah i know, i know, but i'm on the train, so i'll get back to you later, okey?,..., okey bye." But i hate the "diverse person call", you know the one, Phone does not even ring because they where on the phone from the moment they walked in, AH MAPAKA MA NEEEEEEE, REEEEPAMAAAKAAA WAKA MANAAAAARAAA RARARARA SCT SCT SHEEEEETAAAANAAAAA,..., HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WOWAKA MANARAAAAAAA REEEETAKA MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... And it just goes on and on like a they pretend to be a voice actor in a African war movie doing a war cry for zjaka zullu bullu. And if you ever ask them to be quiet, they pretend to not speak the local language, or they look at you like you just stole their first born child...

Listening to tik toks etc without headphones is the height of rudeness, this happened to me recently in the waiting room at the dentist. No amount of death stares got my point across to the young woman concerned!
No, I dont make an exception for people turning the train into their office and conducting lengthy calls with colleagues as I'm trying to doze. Those business wallahs are the worst.
For me, it's those busses that don't actually stop once you're on, and just try to take you somewhere isolated to feed you to some insectoid abominations. The ones with the decoy driver who's really just a corpse puppet to make it look like it has a driver, when in reality it's just a large insect camouflaged as a bus. Super annoying.
i have also been accused of kicking the seat in front of me but at 6 ft 3 some times yer knees press against the seat , anyway after a test kick with me trusty walking boots it was agreed that i had indeed not previously kicked the seat. my dog got on a bus to London with me after being fed about three pounds of raw fish in the pub, nobody sat near him and his fishy farts .
simple answer to the baby issue, dont take them on planes until they are much older. I wouldn't take a baby on a plane TBH. If family want to see the baby, they can come and visit.
I love public transport. I don't get tired from it. I can sleep on the benches. I can charge my phone on the road. I can get some work in. BUT it's absolutely FILTHY these days. Drunkards spilling beer everywhere, half eaten food thrown about. Absolutely DIGUSTING.
We need borders between public and private behaviours to make a rapid come back. Convoluted phone conversations, smelly food, loud music, watching videos, pretending to be a woman, prostrating oneself to pray are not things that should happen in public places or on public transport.
To be fair, as long as it's silent prayer and there's room, I don't mind if someone prays on the bus. Then again, I'm from SF and growing up I once saw someone's illegal live chicken escape onto a bus and its owner get in a loud screaming match with a pothead who tried to steal it while smoking a blunt.
Merry Christmas lads, from Australia, Also did anyone else notice how much Connor was drinking compared to everyone else? I almost just want an edit of just Connor drinking
Once, I had such a traumatic, nightmarish and exhausting day on public transport, that I actually wept when I eventually got back to my car after i'd got in and slammed the door shut.....🤣
the people playing loud music and eating smelly food on public transport don’t look like the people in your thumbnail. so weird, i’m sure that’s just a cohencidence 🌚
On the food front for me it isn’t the smell but the open mouthed, heavy breathing chomping, followed by the piece de resistance, the sucking of fingers that have already been handling mobile phones and train rails, all covered in nasty bacteria. I can’t tell you how vomit inducing this is…and on the noise front, tinny headphones are pure torture. Think I would prefer them playing it loud without earphones. Gosh, it’s great to share this..thank you for the opportunity!
Better get used to the delights of public transport, folks. That is unless you're wealthy. EVs aren't meant to be an alternative for average people's personal transport, they're meant to be an alternative for wealthy people's personal transport. The alternative for average people's personal transport is no personal transport, but public transport instead.
One time I was on the bus and for nearly a quarter of an hour someone was watching some tiktok that kept repeating "ACT LIKE THE KING OR ACT LIKE YOU DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHO THE KING IS"
More and more people are going without headphones in public spaces and it makes me want to put on offensive things to (hopefully) prove a point on how annoying it is.
I have a recording of the Queen of the Night aria from The Magic Flute on my mobile phone. If some inconsiderate plonker starts watching videos without a headset, I often sit beside him and blast that out to bring about some form of detente. It's amazing how few yobs appreciate Mozart.
In Budapest, people used to stand everywhere on the escalator but about 20 years ago they started mostly standing on the right. However, we are pushy and I hate that. You're just standing there and can feel people slowly approaching you and trying to push you ahead. Yuck. But the smelly food and loud phone is a 100 times more annoying. We also have our diverse group of the "gypsum" kind and they often flip out their phones and have loud and unnecessary conversations. "I'm getting off at the next stop." Umm, okay, if you had waited another 20 seconds, the other peson would have seen you anyway 🙄
I once accidentally left my suitcase on a train. It was after a day/week of work and I was off to visit some friends, Salisbury-Bristol route and there was a group of incredibly loud, obnoxious teenage girls squealing and shrieking. Got a bloody migraine and was in such a rush to escape that I walked straight past my suitcase. But yeah. Noisy people, smelly people smelly food... All incredibly out of order. I remember one time being on the tube in London and there was an old Asian woman eating an orange and throwing the piff and peel on the floor.
London has it wrong we are a keep left country drive on the left so we should stand on the left of an escaltor not the right. If you want to overtake move to the right. Walking on a path you should stay to the left side.
American here. The clapping on planes thing has a legitimate origin. Prior to 9/11 this didn't happen. It started as a sardonic joke for when a plane ride was a bit turbulant coming into NYC in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. At first, it was seen as being in poor taste. The joke only caught on after several years had passed and the local New Yorkers had had enough of everything (Iraq War, cleanup/rebuild of Ground Zero seemingly going nowhere, ridiculous nonsense of the TSA, with NYC airports just being the absolute worst) and started joining in. Occasionally, early on, this would be met with obviously sarcastic chants of "USA! USA! USA!" New Yorkers took the joke to other locations, where it spread to a more sarcastic response to a pilot doing his job and safely landing the plane after mild turbulance (the USA! chants being dropped, and the political tongue-in-cheek being missed). Eventually the joke started dissipating...then a plane had to conduct an emergency landing on the Hudson River, and the plane's captain was lauded as some sort of biblical hero for safely conducting the most mundane of emergency landings, and people started treating pilots as heroes generally. That meant a return of clapping, but with the last bit of joke removed entirely. The trend has worn off almost entirely since that emergency landing in 2009, but it still will occasionally persist with one or two people. The real origin, however, has been completely lost.
You're right about it started after 9/11, but where you get the joke part is unknown. I flew after 9/11, and not into NY, and people clapped and hugged the crew when deplaning. It may have picked back up as a joke, or evolved into it, but no, sorry, people were sincerely glad to land. And had nothing to do with that dude Sully.
@@SpotofTeaGirl I get that from flying in and out of NYC on a regular basis going back well before 9/11, and having grown up in the area, and having watch the local news cover the sarcastic clapping contemporaneously, and getting their panties in a bunch over the same nonsense they get their panties in a bunch over to this day. Perhaps you're not from the NYC area, but the whole Sully thing was a major phenomenon here in a way it just wasn't in a lot of other places. This guy was given the Ruth treatment for years after.
I'm avoiding public transport, but whenever I'm around people, restaurants etc. that HAS to play loud music: Exit! God forbid traveling to Africa/Asia, Latin America. Smells are also A big No-no /Swedish

My list: 1. Feet on the seat. (Primary offenders being teenage girls) 2. People on a daily commute carrying a rucksack so large that it seems to contain their entire f***ing life and whacking me around the side of my head with it as they negotiate their way down the aisle of the train 3. People sleeping on the morning commute. You've made the effort to get up, wash/have breakfast and get to the station. Why do you need to drop off again?? Or you could go to bed earlier...
Had a sub continental type of lady sitting behind me on the bus along Bayswater Road recently who sprayed herself liberally with Impulse or something equally foul and pungent and in the process almost choked my daughter and I. For goodness sake why would you not put your deodorant on at home in the privacy of your home?
Props to Sargon for letting this thru on Xmas eve! Hilarious. I hate Xmas usually and never crack a smile but this cheered me up for the first time in years.
Don’t forget the Paddington taxi share. Squeezed into the back of a black cab on the way to a conference sitting next to a ‘smells offender’ can be a challenge.
on the clapping on planes thing the only time its happened to me was on a EL AL flight where NO ONE KNEW IF THE PLANE LANDED it was so buttery smooth, even the hostesses were shocked, so i feel like its deserved in some circumstances, but considering there have been air emergencies where the pilot pulled of some amazing stunts so that no one dies, that certainly deserves an applause. 9:48 my mother, my father, 90% of my friends, and now YOU, escalator, pronounced S KEH LAY TER not S KEW LAY TER there aint no bloody u in that fecking word. my pet peeve.
I remember receiving the snotty "tut" from some soft Londoner on the escalator years and years ago, i apologised (sarcastically) for inconveniencing him but unfortunately going from basic training to phase 2 training meant i was carrying two large holdalls and a giant bergen on my back, not much i can do about it mate. Not sure what annoyed me more, the tut or the vigorous avoiding of eye contact after. Coward.
It's always the same people who seem averse to using headphones, isn't it. Or ditching the system of "first come, first served" at a bus stop. I absolutely cannot stand the way it's replacing our social dynamic and respect for personal space, with a greedy, grasping, me-first mentality.
I was going to make some comment about me growing up in the age of dial up so the internet not doing what you want it to immediately is nothing new, I grew up like that, etc. however then I thought about my reaction when the game lags because the ping is so high and yeah ok I'll shut up now...😂

The bus is colonised.
Everyone talks and nobody speaks English. Mind you, this is Alberta that I’m talking about.
Feet on train and bus seats gets me, dirty sods
For me, it's those busses that don't actually stop once you're on, and just try to take you somewhere isolated to feed you to some insectoid abominations. The ones with the decoy driver who's really just a corpse puppet to make it look like it has a driver, when in reality it's just a large insect camouflaged as a bus. Super annoying.
Ugh, same bro.
Yeah but still better than getting a bus in London.
8:20 "that's probably what Stelios is doing right now" HAHAHAHAHA. So absurd.
i have also been accused of kicking the seat in front of me but at 6 ft 3 some times yer knees press against the seat , anyway after a test kick with me trusty walking boots it was agreed that i had indeed not previously kicked the seat. my dog got on a bus to London with me after being fed about three pounds of raw fish in the pub, nobody sat near him and his fishy farts .
simple answer to the baby issue, dont take them on planes until they are much older. I wouldn't take a baby on a plane TBH. If family want to see the baby, they can come and visit.
I love public transport. I don't get tired from it. I can sleep on the benches. I can charge my phone on the road. I can get some work in. BUT it's absolutely FILTHY these days. Drunkards spilling beer everywhere, half eaten food thrown about. Absolutely DIGUSTING.
We need borders between public and private behaviours to make a rapid come back. Convoluted phone conversations, smelly food, loud music, watching videos, pretending to be a woman, prostrating oneself to pray are not things that should happen in public places or on public transport.
The 3rd world doesn’t magically transform itself upon arrival at welfareland.
Sometimes the only way for a train to arrive is to prostrate oneself to pray to the gods of Northern Rail.
Is watching a video with headphones on a phone so bad if nobody else can hear it?
To be fair, as long as it's silent prayer and there's room, I don't mind if someone prays on the bus. Then again, I'm from SF and growing up I once saw someone's illegal live chicken escape onto a bus and its owner get in a loud screaming match with a pothead who tried to steal it while smoking a blunt.
@@donovandelozier7156 no, the point is not bothering others, a video others can't hear might aswell be a book
Merry Christmas lads, from Australia,
Also did anyone else notice how much Connor was drinking compared to everyone else? I almost just want an edit of just Connor drinking
From that giant cup!
Its gin and tonic in a can. Its like 4% it’s weaker than beer. Its a waste of gin.
He’s an arse
People of a certain ethnicity who don’t wear deodorant and use public transport.
Germans?
I was on a bus once and someone set off a CS gas canister. Everyone had to get off.
It sounds like a powerful aphrodisiac.
@@colinr0380 Lol, it was!
Once, I had such a traumatic, nightmarish and exhausting day on public transport, that I actually wept when I eventually got back to my car after i'd got in and slammed the door shut.....🤣
the people playing loud music and eating smelly food on public transport don’t look like the people in your thumbnail. so weird, i’m sure that’s just a cohencidence 🌚
American here- not sure I've ever been in a plane where a bunch of people started clapping after we landed.
People clipping their nails on public transport is a particular heinous crime imo.....
They should be forced to eat the clippings
@dutchmansmine9053 yes sir i agree! So gross and contemptible than many of them don't realise how gross it is!
On the food front for me it isn’t the smell but the open mouthed, heavy breathing chomping, followed by the piece de resistance, the sucking of fingers that have already been handling mobile phones and train rails, all covered in nasty bacteria. I can’t tell you how vomit inducing this is…and on the noise front, tinny headphones are pure torture. Think I would prefer them playing it loud without earphones. Gosh, it’s great to share this..thank you for the opportunity!
Better get used to the delights of public transport, folks. That is unless you're wealthy.
EVs aren't meant to be an alternative for average people's personal transport, they're meant to be an alternative for wealthy people's personal transport. The alternative for average people's personal transport is no personal transport, but public transport instead.
Been on many American flights. Only time I’ve ever heard clapping was on an Egyptian flight in 2000. My group was like “what’s going on?”
This is a problem if you live in a certain demographic area 😂

One time I was on the bus and for nearly a quarter of an hour someone was watching some tiktok that kept repeating "ACT LIKE THE KING OR ACT LIKE YOU DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHO THE KING IS"
Public transport means waiting around at bus stops and railway stations
More and more people are going without headphones in public spaces and it makes me want to put on offensive things to (hopefully) prove a point on how annoying it is.
I have a recording of the Queen of the Night aria from The Magic Flute on my mobile phone. If some inconsiderate plonker starts watching videos without a headset, I often sit beside him and blast that out to bring about some form of detente.
It's amazing how few yobs appreciate Mozart.
I've only flown a few times, but I've never seen everyone clap for a plane landing. And I am american.
They keep trying to get Americans to do busses bro it take 2 hours and standing in the snow when I could drive 12 minutes
In Budapest, people used to stand everywhere on the escalator but about 20 years ago they started mostly standing on the right. However, we are pushy and I hate that. You're just standing there and can feel people slowly approaching you and trying to push you ahead. Yuck. But the smelly food and loud phone is a 100 times more annoying. We also have our diverse group of the "gypsum" kind and they often flip out their phones and have loud and unnecessary conversations. "I'm getting off at the next stop." Umm, okay, if you had waited another 20 seconds, the other peson would have seen you anyway 🙄
I once accidentally left my suitcase on a train. It was after a day/week of work and I was off to visit some friends, Salisbury-Bristol route and there was a group of incredibly loud, obnoxious teenage girls squealing and shrieking. Got a bloody migraine and was in such a rush to escape that I walked straight past my suitcase.
But yeah. Noisy people, smelly people smelly food... All incredibly out of order. I remember one time being on the tube in London and there was an old Asian woman eating an orange and throwing the piff and peel on the floor.
Merry Christmas, Lotus Eaters and Internet Randos.
London has it wrong we are a keep left country drive on the left so we should stand on the left of an escaltor not the right. If you want to overtake move to the right. Walking on a path you should stay to the left side.
A lot of places don’t allow you to eat on the platform. Once saw a video of a guy getting arrested over a chicken sandwich.
American here. The clapping on planes thing has a legitimate origin. Prior to 9/11 this didn't happen. It started as a sardonic joke for when a plane ride was a bit turbulant coming into NYC in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. At first, it was seen as being in poor taste. The joke only caught on after several years had passed and the local New Yorkers had had enough of everything (Iraq War, cleanup/rebuild of Ground Zero seemingly going nowhere, ridiculous nonsense of the TSA, with NYC airports just being the absolute worst) and started joining in. Occasionally, early on, this would be met with obviously sarcastic chants of "USA! USA! USA!" New Yorkers took the joke to other locations, where it spread to a more sarcastic response to a pilot doing his job and safely landing the plane after mild turbulance (the USA! chants being dropped, and the political tongue-in-cheek being missed). Eventually the joke started dissipating...then a plane had to conduct an emergency landing on the Hudson River, and the plane's captain was lauded as some sort of biblical hero for safely conducting the most mundane of emergency landings, and people started treating pilots as heroes generally. That meant a return of clapping, but with the last bit of joke removed entirely.
The trend has worn off almost entirely since that emergency landing in 2009, but it still will occasionally persist with one or two people. The real origin, however, has been completely lost.
You're right about it started after 9/11, but where you get the joke part is unknown. I flew after 9/11, and not into NY, and people clapped and hugged the crew when deplaning. It may have picked back up as a joke, or evolved into it, but no, sorry, people were sincerely glad to land. And had nothing to do with that dude Sully.
@@SpotofTeaGirl I get that from flying in and out of NYC on a regular basis going back well before 9/11, and having grown up in the area, and having watch the local news cover the sarcastic clapping contemporaneously, and getting their panties in a bunch over the same nonsense they get their panties in a bunch over to this day. Perhaps you're not from the NYC area, but the whole Sully thing was a major phenomenon here in a way it just wasn't in a lot of other places. This guy was given the Ruth treatment for years after.
@@captainphoenix I'm American, so I am aware of the accolades given to Sully nationally, the Tom Hanks movie and all.
back in my day i was happy when i got over 5.6 kbps download when on the internets
I'm avoiding public transport, but whenever I'm around people, restaurants etc. that HAS to play loud music: Exit! God forbid traveling to Africa/Asia, Latin America. Smells are also A big No-no /Swedish
5:00 thats when its nice to have a friend who can puke on demand. True story, he thinks for a minute convunces whatever he ate last was spoiled and he calls for Raaaalph.
Somebody came into public toilets once on the phone and was in a heated argument.
one of the bus routes I use you sometimes get someone on who disabled and likes to shout out the names of things they see through the bus windows very loudly, like TREE CAR TREE TREE TREE
Is anyone counting to compare to the poll? 😅
Merry Christmas everyone.
Diversity is the common denominator in most issues
I’m a taxi driver and I hate forgetting into my car stinking of garlic and shouting down the phone at whoever there talking to I’ve even looking into ways I can jam signals
My list:
1. Feet on the seat. (Primary offenders being teenage girls)
2. People on a daily commute carrying a rucksack so large that it seems to contain their entire f***ing life and whacking me around the side of my head with it as they negotiate their way down the aisle of the train
3. People sleeping on the morning commute. You've made the effort to get up, wash/have breakfast and get to the station. Why do you need to drop off again?? Or you could go to bed earlier...
I always enjoy reading other people’s confidential emails on trains.
Had a sub continental type of lady sitting behind me on the bus along Bayswater Road recently who sprayed herself liberally with Impulse or something equally foul and pungent and in the process almost choked my daughter and I. For goodness sake why would you not put your deodorant on at home in the privacy of your home?
Props to Sargon for letting this thru on Xmas eve! Hilarious. I hate Xmas usually and never crack a smile but this cheered me up for the first time in years.
For me smelling food, talking loud on the phone. The first makes me sick and the second makes me mad.
These fellows are so selling mass transit. Great reasons for why so many of us do not want to give up our own cars.
Not a single "London" person discussing people still wearing their backpacks when they are standing in the tube...
Sus.
Don’t forget the Paddington taxi share. Squeezed into the back of a black cab on the way to a conference sitting next to a ‘smells offender’ can be a challenge.
on the clapping on planes thing
the only time its happened to me was on a EL AL flight where NO ONE KNEW IF THE PLANE LANDED it was so buttery smooth, even the hostesses were shocked, so i feel like its deserved in some circumstances, but considering there have been air emergencies where the pilot pulled of some amazing stunts so that no one dies, that certainly deserves an applause.
9:48 my mother, my father, 90% of my friends, and now YOU, escalator, pronounced S KEH LAY TER not S KEW LAY TER
there aint no bloody u in that fecking word. my pet peeve.
So glad I live in civilized Japan. No sounds or smells on the train.
I remember receiving the snotty "tut" from some soft Londoner on the escalator years and years ago, i apologised (sarcastically) for inconveniencing him but unfortunately going from basic training to phase 2 training meant i was carrying two large holdalls and a giant bergen on my back, not much i can do about it mate.
Not sure what annoyed me more, the tut or the vigorous avoiding of eye contact after. Coward.
12:13 Please clip that Lotus Eaters Out of Context
Beu is massive
Callum is smol
wait do brits overtake on the left hand side on escalators. In Australia we overtake on the right
Foreign people. Or to be more precise foreign people with no headphones
Shout-out to Pedro Pascal for making an appearance.
I’ve only taken public transportation less than a handful of times in my life.
The problem with public transport is the public bit.
It's always the same people who seem averse to using headphones, isn't it. Or ditching the system of "first come, first served" at a bus stop. I absolutely cannot stand the way it's replacing our social dynamic and respect for personal space, with a greedy, grasping, me-first mentality.
I was going to make some comment about me growing up in the age of dial up so the internet not doing what you want it to immediately is nothing new, I grew up like that, etc. however then I thought about my reaction when the game lags because the ping is so high and yeah ok I'll shut up now...😂
AY UP LOTUS EATERS
Time to play train sim london maps now!
Should be illegal to walk up escalators. If you want to walk use the stairs….. there normally next door.
This is honestly hilarious Britbongs spend 15+ min complaining on how awful public transport is and wonder why Americans drive everywhere.
Gee, can't wait to go to London.
I'm sitting in shorts, sunglasses, hat, with a few beers in Australia, Christmas Day.
