Etiquette

I'm sure there are many similar posts concerning this issue but it doesn't hurt to further emphasize or passive aggressively encourage people to take note of their actions.

Things about Metro riders that I cannot stand:

1. People who do not have their fare prepared as they enter/exit the bus. I absolutely hate waiting for people who are paying in uncounted coins when they have plenty of time to prepare beforehand (this only refers to those who have been previously waiting at the bus stop or had been on the bus and not to those who had to run for the bus).
2. People who enter the bus talking on their phone.
3. People who have extended conversations on their phone.
4. People who talk loud on the phone.
5. People who take up two seats by putting their belongings on one seat and refusing to move their things despite the lack of seat space for other riders.
6. People who listen to music loud enough that it can be heard through their earphones.
7. Kids who play songs on their phone via speakerphone.
8. People who are rude to the bus driver
9. Angry people who blame the bus driver (and make unnecessary comments) for their terrible commute
10. Smelly people
11. People who take forever to get off the bus.
12. People who forget to pull the cord to stop and, instead, yell at the bus driver to stop.
13. Teenage girl gossip
14. Loud, unnecessary swearing


Any combination of these gives me an anxiety attack. This happens quite often.
