10 Reasons Why I Hate The Tube...

• Rush-Hour
• Nutters: .....One way to avoid a nutter is to BE the nutter or simply wear a pair of suinglasses and listen to your walkman. (except for listen to walkman, passengers have new choice to play with our interactive wall.)
• Tourists
• The Circle Line: .... delays, cancellations, engineering works or more simply if it doesn't turn up at all. Delays between stops are so common that all Circle Line trains have been graffitted as the graffiti artists are so bored that they attack the inside of the train, fed up of trying to get to their destination - like everyone then. ( if train delay, people has more things to do, however, if the game of our interaction wall is too simple, how can we satisfy bored people and avoid them to graffiti/attack the train...?)
• The Tube Map: All those different coloured lines - its like a rainbow... until you come to the interchanges. Bank and Monument is a classic example - a mile walk between the Central and District/Circle Lines through dingy tunnels. ...
• Cleanliness: .....BBC London have also reported that sound levels on the tube are dangerously high and regular tube users should wear earplugs!...
• LU Staff: Grumpy, Unhelpful and Selfish (i.e. the number of ever-increasing strikes). ...
• PA Annoucements: "MIThh the GAhh" and "Thith trn wi noo stoip abbroltluy" not forgetting "Plith sta clee of the clopthie doo" all make the experience slightly less beareable. However it is amusing when tourists are looking for "clopthie doo" while the door squashes them and they lose their phrase book. Central Line users have the privileage of listening to an automated recorded woman stating every stop. She's called Sonia ('cos she gets on yer nerves). (I am thinking, if we need to include sound in our interactive wall, we need to be careful to choose a sound can relax people instead of make the underground more noisy.)
• Flashers/Gropers
• Signal Failure/Suspected Packages/Strike

A million reasons why I hate the London Underground
Posted on March 27, 2007 by simbsi
There are plenty of reasons why I hate travelling on the London Underground.

• The Northern Line has to be the worst train service on the underground.
• The announcements on the Northern Line tend to be a bit too loud. Infact it seems like the train driver wants to pierce our eardrums with all that noise. (again, people hate the annoucement is too noisy.)
• The fact that I always have to change my train at Kennington coz the train terminates there most of the time.
• People who don’t give up their seats to the elderly or pregnant women.
• People who beg on the underground by going around carriage to carriage. I have noticed this woman who comes around nearly every day with her baby to beg for money. Now if it were a one off it would be fine but then I see her like practically every day. I am sure she spends most of her day underground soliciting funds.
• I can’t stand weird people who stare at me while travelling. It tends to get a bit annoying. I had to face three people yesterday who kept staring at me yesterday.It did not comfort me one bit because they looked like major creeps.
• A notable mention to people with obssessive compulsive disorders who tend to get a bit annoying after some time. I would like to point out that guy who kept slapping his hand and then rolling his eyes around and staring at everyone every 2 mins. Then there was this guy who kept biting his fingernails and digging for gold and trying to achieve every goal in the “a million ways to irritate people on the underground” book. To top it all the old foggie sitting on my left kept licking his lips. The worst bit was that I could hear him through all that loud music i was listening to. At least it was better than that guy who kept tapping his feet while listening to music.

I Hate London Underground (a personal experience talking about a keen traveller and like to experience different things. However, he hates london underground because he feel nervous )

• "... Now for the first-time traveller to London you would expect nerves, other people can’t feel these nerves apart from you but I’m sure when you’re standing staring at a picture like this 10ft by 7ft, they should share your pain. No, they don’t. They just push past you in the hope of getting on their train 4.295 seconds quicker than their daily average so they can gather more time at work to stand around their water machines chatting about how some poor chap was lost on the London Underground and their inability to help out another fellow human being...."
