This commuter's pet peeves

1. Busmate who coughs with all his/her might and phlegmy gusto without covering his/her mouth. We may be sharing the same seat, but I wouldn't want to share your bodily germs.

2. Commuter who eats peanuts, then throws the shells on the bus floor.

3. Commuter who talks while eating peanuts, spraying peanut spittle on his/her busmate's cheek.

4. Male commuter who spreads his legs widely across the bus seat, even though someone is already sitting beside him. Kung naiinitan ang ano mo, mag-palda ka na lang kaya?

5. Commuter who sweats a river throughout the ride. I know it's a hot morning, but can we at least arm wrestle than bury my arm under your sweaty sweaty armpit?

6. Female commuter (middle-aged, most likely a mom, who looks so nasty and suplada) who likes to squeeze her big big butt in the teenie tiny space between two passengers by sitting on both passengers' laps, letting gravity do its fantastic job of free fall.

7. Grimy-looking bus curtains, victims to numerous incidences of hand-wiping after eating itlog ng pugo, mani, and fish crackers.

8. Commuters who play the game of switch-a-seat, with the objective of finally reaching the front seat behind the driver or near the door. Commuter who switches more than five times wins.

9. "Bus spokesperson" for medical missions who drops donation envelope on your lap without consent.

10. MMDA-bashing, power-tripping, greedy bus drivers who waste 30 minutes to 1 hour of people's time by waiting for (potential) passengers at Starmall. Yes, 30 minutes-1 hour of waiting at Starmall only.
