Ooooh... yeah. Many a time have I considered rail raging at:

1) People who stand on the platform right in front of the entrance/exit from
   the station building
2) Fat people who squash you when sitting next to you on trains
3) Idiots who block the aisles on trams whilst mindlessly revalidating their
   tickets
4) Bike riders who block doorways
5) People who obviously haven't washed in weeks
6) People who decide that on the train is a good place to floss their teeth
7) People whose legs take up most of the space in front of you
8) The idiot that designed trains and trams such that the seats face one 
   another
9) The idiot who decided that trains with broken/open doors shouldn't be
   allowed to move until fixed
10) People who stand directly in front of the barriers searching for their
    ticket in their handbag, thereby blocking anyone else trying to get 
    through.

Christ, I'm glad that I can rollerblade to work now...

Paul.
