Moses
The jibberish-speaking, elderly crackhead in a rags who smells so bad, he just parts the sea of people and gets himself an entire bench to himself on the 5 line during evening rushhour.


In Tokyo I get a variation on this, the Maaaaaaaaaaddd people who come up and start yelling "hellooooo helllloooo do you like rock and roll are you American helllloooo hellllooooo".

For a long time this was the momofukuing worst, until I discovered:
The Man Who Bathed In Garlic Last Night
Pretty much self explanatory, but occasionally I will walk into a subway car and be overcome with wave upon wave of a rotten garlic odor emanating from every pore of some dude like radiation from a fuel rod. Stale piss smell I can handle... even **** to an extent. But that mofoing garlic smell is the absolute worst.


Is he related to the Brazilian dude who bathed in cheap cologne? He tends to be common in Western Japan.

I usually don't have many public transport issues here (people are very courteous) but I would like to add The Chatterbox if it hasn't already been stated. These are the people that talk as loud and annoyingly as possible (either on their phone or to others).


They're called Americans. If not speaking English probably Germans. To my lovely American friends, why do you have to yell at the person standing right next to you?

You are missing the entire point. The point isn't my shoes, but behavior. Sure I get irritated when my shoes get stepped on, but there are far greater offenses discussed here.
An sitting in taxis wrinkles my trousers...


Take your trousers off before you get in the taxi, problem solved.

There's this barricaded driveway of sorts in front of the state Capitol. Always some Escalades and big GMC Yukons with state license plates in there. These dudes ain't driving no Honda Civic.

They're called black people. If not speaking English probably Germans. To my lovely black friends, why do you have to yell at the person standing right next to you?


FTFY.

I have a funny story that happened on Friday. I got onto the train with my girlfriend and she is the layer queen. Doesn't really have a coat, just layers stuff together. Now my girlfriend is thin, but her weird drapey layers made it look like she was hiding a big belly. Anyway, we get on the train and a guy immediately jumps up and offers her his seat. She smiles and says she is ok and looks at me and says that it was the second time today. I looked at the guy and I said, thanks, but shes not pregnant she's just fat. Girls looked horrified and guys got a good laugh. The poor nice-guy offender looked incredibly emabrassed.
