Take the Daily Commute? Ever used public transport in a Major City? Here are a few Passengers to keep an eye out for and possibly avoid.

 
1. The Odorous One

You couldn't believe your eyes when you saw the empty seat.It really was too good to be true. You won't realise until it's too late withinseconds of sitting down the reek hits your nostrils, whether it's B.O. or thescent of fish decomposing in hair, this persons stink hits you in a wave, evenbreathing through your mouth doesn't help as the stench has evolved into avapour and will cling to your tongue. Like stepping in dog crap the smell willfollow you for the rest of the day.

Solution: Maybe you should just get off at the nextstop and catch the next train, no one will care that you're late when you smellthis bad.


2. The Picnicker

Like the family that brings a motor home camping this personhas more stuff than everyone else and they love making sure you know it. Rangesfrom people with far too many shopping bags to backpackers who stretch out overthree seats (backpackers usually come in groups of two or more). Should youhave the courage to ask them to move some of their things be prepared to endurethe occasional scowl they will throw you for the rest of the trip.

Solution: Try and squeeze into the third of a seatthat's free or stand up with the office workers.


3. The Cute Girl

A rarity in itself, this girl catches your eye as soon asyou step on the train. She's the girl of your dreams and you can bet that she hasall of the same song as you on her iPhone, god I love Bowie, I wonder when he'stouring again. The cute girl is usually travelling alone which allows you todelude yourself into thinking you could ask her out, if only the seat next to herwas empty, oh god she's looking right at me, quick act cool.

Solution: Forget about it, she's actually looking atthe next guy.


4. The Guy that's Better than You

This guy is everything you wish you were, he's wearing theshirt you bought but don't have the courage to wear and although it's a hundreddegrees in here, this guy doesn't sweat. He's probably on his way to hisawesome job at a record label or as a photographer for a modelling agency. Why can'tyou ever get your hair to look like that?

Solution: Quietly tell yourself that he isn't happyon the inside and that you'll go to the gym tonight.


5. The Talkative Elderly Commuter

They don't understand that your earphones mean you can'thear them. Be prepared to listen to how a minority has ruined this once greatcountry, or how you remind them of their grandson, he's studying the World WideWeb in Chicago (they will actually refer to Chicago as the Windy City). Youwould be perfect to date her grandson actually he's one of them gays but theirtotally cool with that, even though back in their day they would have beat thecrap out of that sissy. Oh by the way dearie, do you know how to send an SNS onthis thing?

Solution:

A: That's an iPod Touch.
B: The more time you spend listening to this person the moreyou will realise old people are really politically incorrect.


6. The Private School Kids


Easily distinguishable by their horribly coloured blazerswith elbow patches. These kids travel in groups of three to five and mostcommonly argue over who the better "rapper" is Kanye or Chris Brown?  One of these kids had a lot of "Street Credback on the West Coast" but had to leave that life behind them when their dad movedhere to become Regional Vice President of Sales.

Solution: I don't sound like that do I?


7. The Tourist (Who no speak English so well)
 

"This line is go to Opera House?"

Solution: That's in Australia. You're in New York. No, nobody actually calls it the Big Apple.
