Most subway rides are pretty uneventful. If you're lucky, you'll even end up at your destination unaware of how you got there because the routine ride is so ingrained. On occasion though, a pet peeve will rouse you from your trance, and you'll suddenly remember every single thing you hate about public transportation.

1. Slow walkers

This applies to anywhere in New York period, but trying to catch a train or to get to a certain place on the platform before the train arrives is ten times more annoying when the person in front of you is walking along the platform like nobody behind them has anywhere to be. The only choice is to walk along the platform edge like a kool kid.

2. People who say excuse me

This sounds really counterintuitive, but this is about the people who are trying to get out of a crowded train at a popular station and start pushing and screaming "excuse me" really obnoxiously. Yes, you're obviously the only person on this packed train that needs to get off at this stop and waiting for everyone in front of you to get off definitely won't work. You must let everyone on the train know that you're getting off, like the rude, self-important mess you are.

3. Do not lean on the door

That's obviously not the problem; that sign is an outdated suggestion. The problem is with that guy that's leaning on the door while the train is moving and then doesn't get out of the way for the crowd of people pouring out at the station stop. I hope you get pushed out of the train by the sheer mass of people coming out, my guy.

4. Delays

When your manager tells you that you should have left the house earlier to get to work on time. But how were you supposed to realize the E train has set out to ruin your life that day if it was running fine the day before?

5. The turnstile and the big bag

Trying to swipe in and cross through the turnstile with a backpack or a messenger bag bigger than a clutch is literally impossible. (Also there's this small, irrational fear of getting stuck in it every time I swipe through.)
