Guy with dyed black hair in a ponytail and Devil's goatee who obviously fancied himself as some kinda sinister-yet-charismatic leader but had his powers somewhat diminished by the box of donuts he was carrying: 5/10

Girl who spent the whole journey from Bank to Tottenham Court Road applying Mabeline Great Lash mascara at the kind of speed normally associated with sloths, continental drift etc. Your precision technique and self-absorbed narcissism made me feel really ill for some reason and it didn't make any difference to your appearence after the first coat. 2/10 (Points for having a cool dress.)
― Anna, Monday, 9 July 2007 09:51 (sixteen years ago) link
no one specific, but why do people think physical contact is acceptable on public transport? i know the bus is crowded, but it only takes a minimum of effort to keep some air space between our arms. do not want your smelly, sweaty flesh pressed against mine.

woman who got on bus at tower bridge, and asked driver could he drive down this cobbled street with the rest of her coach party on board, because their coach was too big 7.7/10

I've mentioned this before but as it was the last time I went on a bus in London (except one of those tourist buses) I'll say it again.
Man, who when he got on the top deck of the bus, everybody (except me) went downstairs (which struck me as odd), and who then started shouting that he was gonna stab everybody on the bus and seemed to be screaming "what the fuck are looking at" at the back of my head. minus 10/10.
(luckily - as I am a coward and was rooted to the spot in fear - the bus driver stopped the bus came running up the stairs and shouted "i've told you before, if you keep abusing the passengers you're going to have to get off the bus" and led me downstairs. So he get's 11 out of 10.

Black kids jumps on chasing his friends who hare it upstairs without paying. He then addresses the downstairs with a quick comedy routine on how all black people can not be trusted apart from one dude in a suit he notices. Basically like the best skits off the Sway mixtapes but real. 9/10

Woman in front of me on train who smelt like she'd been airing her clothes in a room full of half-smoked Marlboro Lights for a hundred years: 0/10 (Gained points for not joining in communal moaning about smoking ban, but lost them again because I had a hangover.)

Woman on the Bristol Temple Meads-Swindon train with thick steel grey hair in a ponytail and outdoor clothes and big boots yet who talks incessantly and loudly about working indoors in an office, even though it's the National Trust, it's still an office and those boots are not necessary unless you want to prove something about being outdoorsy: 2/10.

Crackhead with an afro on the Picadilly line northbound, addressing the whole carriage by shouting "21 years on the underground.... 21 years man. If I get off tomorrow, I still got 21 years, innit?", before beatboxing a version of "Wonderwall" and, overoptimistically, passing his right shoe around for people to deposit change: 10/10

Old lady punching my arm and shouting at me for holding a tram door open for a straggler: you are mentally disturbed and I understand your plight. Also, you’re an asshole. 4/10
Teenager casually informing me, weeks later, at a similar occasion, that it’s enough to step on the tram’s footboard to hold the door open, no actual door-wrangling required, before laughing maniacally and running off across a rush-hour lane: just as crazy, not an asshole. 8/10
