Public Transport Etiquette

Last night, I was the victim of three separate personal space infringements whilst on the tram home.

Incident #1 - The man sitting facing me, who was reading a broadsheet newspaper (not folded Armstrong-style) with his elbows resting on his knees so that the top of the newspaper was flapping in my face.

Incident #2 - The man sitting next to me, who was falling asleep and kept slumping onto me as well as spreading his legs further and further. There is NO NEED for your leg to touch mine, buddy!

Incident #3 - The woman behind me, who was wearing her hair in a high ponytail so that it brushed against the back of my head. Someone else's hair touching my hair... *vomits*

Now keep in mind that these three infringements were all taking place concurrently. Needless to say, I was not a very happy camper.

fitzroyal has a full list of etiquette rules which I hope she will one day post, especially in light of the public transport chaos which we are about to take part in.
