Hey sometimes I just like to take off my backpack so my body can dry up from the sweaty straps on my back and/or chest. What's up with people not knowing how to fold up the chairs before a handicapped person comes in? I've seen some of them like oh well it's the driver's job to do so, so let him/her do it. Also, I like to sleep sometimes on the bus which I always sit on the inside seats because it's better suited for my head, but I don't mind when I have to get up or move so someone can sit next to me; some people just need to have the guts to wake me up.

Sorry, it's stand to the right in my view. No kudos to the idiot that stands on the left after seeing others continue up the left-hand side before them, that's just moronic. If someone has a bag next to them on the seat I make a point of having them move their bag so I can sit, even if there are other single seats elsewhere. If they have a problem with it I ask them, "Did you pay for two tickets?". The answer is "no" and I say, "Then I'm sitting there." One ticket, one seat. Bikes are allowed on the forward car. If the car is too full for a bike to co-exist, which is almost never, then I'm for the bike rider waiting for the next train.

My bus to work is getting crowded. I do hate people that use their bag posing as another passenger. So far no one had yet to stand on our small commuter bus (Max Bus). One thing I hate happened one time I sat next to this guy who was literally hogging the leg space by opening up his leg like an amateur porn star. The next bus stop I immediately moved to a different seat.

Bikes. No room during rush hour. No bikes allowed. Off before on. Should be common sense. But then again many people don't have common sense or common courtesy. Escalator. If you stand (what, your legs don't work all of a sudden?) then stand to one side. Don't sit on the fricken stairs. Especially at NoHo during the evening rush. Jackasses.

Here is another one. I saw a very, very large passenger on the Orange Line who took up his seat as well as about half of the one next to him due to his girth. The bus was standing room only. Maybe he should stand instead of taking up two seats.

A stair workout is great. Metro or the newest Wednesday Workout post! http://laist.com/2008/07/02/workout_wednesday_beachwood_canyon.php

I took the stairs instead of dealing with the inconsistency of people moving/not-moving to the right. About 3 months later, I noticed that my pants fit much snugger and no longer needed a belt for some others. Guess traversing at least 3 flights of stairs up and down every day, 2x a day, did wonders for my gluteus maximus. Now I work too far from the Red Line, and waiting for my Rapid bus doesn't give me the opportunity for a free workout. ;)

Going to have to disagree with you on the escalator one. Move it to the right, slowpokes.
