Tube Etiquette

This is the last of my tube features series. Enjoy!

Tube Etiquette

1.) Do not eat smelly food on the tube, and if you absolutely have to, don't forget to take the remains with you. No-one wants to sit in samosas.

2.) Don't drink alcohol on the tube. This isn't just about manners, it's also a law.

3.) If you are drunk on the tube, do not start shouting at other tube riders.

4.) Try not to burp or fart.

5.) Smile. It won't kill anyone if you smile when on the tube, in fact it might just brighten up someone's day.

6.) Don't breathe over passengers, however cramped the conditions. Especially if you haven't brushed your teeth in a while.

7.) Don't bosh people round the head/legs with your oversized bag or rucksack.

8.) Always make room for others to sit down, i.e., move your bag off the seat next to you if you see someone standing.

9.) ALWAYS give your seat up for the elderly or disabled. Now that's just common sense.

10.) Oh, and if you are a man, it couldn't hurt to give your seat up for a woman. It's not sexist, it's courteous and polite.
