Over here, we have people who love to lean their whoel body on the pole even when its crowded, so others have difficulty having a pole to grab on to.
And we also have people who do not give up their seats to preganant ladies or elderly folks, especially those in shirt and pants and executive wear.
And people who do not move to the centre of the train, but like to stand at the door.

Trains???
We have no functional trains here in Texas...
They are merely for fun to ride on and donate money to keeping them preserved...
We all drive cars or use buses here...

Same here.
Plus, when they put a step on the train they automatically stop moving or start moving ridiulously slow giving a hard time to the people behind that need to get in.
Actually today I was getting down the train with the rest of the people that needed to get down and this stupid girl/woman wouldn't let me get down. She just wanted to get in and of course she couldn't do the proper thing! That is waiting for everybody to get out of the train so they can get in. It's just as simple as that.
What I did? I laughed ironically and asked her to let me get out of the train.
Everybody does that and I it drives me insane. Literally.
I wish there was a way to sort of hypnotize everyone and be able to put into their minds the requierd social behavior to be able to coexist pacefully (aka social etiquette). It takes minimum effort and it will make a great difference!

I haven't been on a train in 2 years and that was the Washington Metro. Perhaps, the behaviors you are describing is why.

in my country it is not behavior that is really annoying(though it can be),its the trains them selves.they stink,they are dirty,noisy and old,there are chewing gums sticked everywhere...
and behavior....well in summer people dont take shower often enough,they are leaning on you,there are maniacs who press and rub themselves against you very persistently no matter how hard you try to move away...should i continue?
p.s. i live in serbia

i detest the people who don't bathe regularly. i almost passed out once when this man lifted his arm to hold the strap next to mine...i always carry a little bar of scented soap now, to ward off the smelly.
