how to get me annoyed in 14 mins

It's probably not the best idea I ever had, but still I need to get this off my chest, I'll take the risk of this information being abused by certain people ;).

Last Friday we had to take a crowded train, so Icky and I ended up sitting with a man who had taken the entire table to himself. Ok, that's not too bad, since he sat there before us, but still the man managed to get me extremely annoyed in less then 15 minutes (since our trip by train takes us 14 mins). He started off by tapping the table, had a cough, and coughed in my face!? then he got a wee hunger and decided to eat his apple (nothing wrong there), but no one has told the man it's nice to eat with your mouth shut, and that the people around you don't enjoy it if you continue to tap the table whilst chewing with your mouth open... and cough in their faces...
Ok, he finished his apple, thank heaven for that, phew,then he had to cough another time -the poor man obviously had a cold and a sore arm so he wasn't able to put his hand in front of his mouth- but then he got a bit tired, and it was time for his wee nap. No harm there, until he started snoring...
Boy, was I happy to arrive in Lier!

How come commuters keep annoying each other!? This morning as well, there was this lady talking in this monotone voice, who kept repeating the exact same story, I've heard how many figurines and paintings her mum has four times, not kidding, but she tried to inform her friends who weren't listening to her, who can blame them!? So we ended up with the information, whether we liked it or not...

You know this one time... in band camp... i put a lovely figurine up my...

Ah, the beauty of public transport! Something non-commuters will never truly appreciate. I feel so sorry for you.

You should've loudly commented on both the guy's chewing and the lady's story... seeing that they were so eager to share the experience with you. I think sometimes people have imagine that the whole world is just an illusion and they are in fact all alone in their little universe.
