This is going to be a bit of a
negative, ranty post, so apologies in advance.
You see, I have been using public
transport for years. I've used it to get to school, to college and to work. And
I've experienced them all, busses, trains and the tube.
Unfortunately I have
never attempted to learn to drive. Partly because I live in London and I feel
driving would be unnecessary, but mainly due to my rage issues. I fear I would
run people over or cause crashes just out of spite. Yes, I am that angry at
times.
Currently my journey varies between an hour and a half to two hours, depending on the traffic so I spend almost 10 hours a week travelling. That is approximately 520 hours a year. It's horrid.
During my journey, I like to observe people. I watch how they behave and how they interact with each other. And I have decided to compile a list of... rules on what I consider would be correct public transport etiquette.

2. However just because you’re old or knocked up, do not demand someone give up their seat for you. That is fucking rude. You don’t deserve special treatment, you require it. It is not the law.
EDIT
I thought of another one...
14. Parents, keep your children under control and pay attention to them. I hate it when kids are ignored and they end up climbing everywhere. And I really hate having to listen to "mum... mum... mum... mum... mum... mum... mum... mum... mum... mum..." over and over. It makes my left eye twitch. Granted, I don't have children so people will argue "oh, you won't understand until you have kids" and my answer to that is "A, I'm not going to have kids and B, if you didn't want to pay attention to your children, you shouldn't have had them!
