Had a puncture on the way to work yesterday! It usually takes 7 minutes door to door on my bike. But now I had to walk half the way, I hesitated over whether to lock it up to a railing but decided to press on... fortunately it wasn't raining and I made it into work with a minute to spare... phew!

First intersubjective, then internalised
The train I was going to take was cancelled yet again this morning. That's as far as I go for now.
Getting on the Waterloo and City line is a joke at the moment. It took me 20 minutes yesterday. It was just a sea of who-knows-how-many hundred people. God help us if there was a fire. At one point they announced "There is a GOOD service on all lines" and a spontaneous laughter spread around the crowd at the sheer ridiculousness of it.

I'm still getting the bus because my knees are still sore from crashing into someone on my bike a month ago. This morning they're particularly achey after a weekend of DIY and house tidying and the fucking driver goes the wrong way and I have to walk half a mile to the office. 
First bus are a fucking shambles.

I've kept a record of every commute for the last several years - along with the shit excuses they wheel out for their piss poor service.

05:11 train this morning was bang on time, and so far my return is the same. It can only go downhill from here...

"Twenty-two minutes late, fed up by train delays, came by bike. Slow puncture at Peckham."

Fucks sake!
Definitely Friday 13th - overrunning engineering works and then major signalling problems at Birmingham New Street has caused chaos. Had to get off at Stafford as my train was being diverted and not stopping at Birmingham, and have got on a local stopping service. I wonder when I'll get there...

Tempting bloody fate more like!
There was also a broken down train thrown into the mix this morning for good measure. Got in about half an hour later than usual. Chaos on the way home too - the signalling problems seemed to continue until mid-afternoon, so it was a mess when I got to the station to head home. Then the train air conditioning was broken so the carriage was roasting, and the usual broken toilets. Thank fuck its the weekend...

I'm a bit out of touch with commuting etiquette, and have a dilemma for the panel.
If the person in the next seat has the sniffles, and you get treated to the sounds of squelching snot slightly more often than every 10 seconds, is the acceptable response -
a) to sit and fume quietly
b) to tut occasionally
c) very politely offer them some tissues
d) shout "shut the fuck up you snotty git"
e) kill them in the face with a rolled up copy of the 'metro'
f) any combination of the above
g) other

Either fume quietly, in the good old British way, or pretend to have a phone conversation with someone and slag them off for being a snotty inconsiderate bastard.

Fume quietly, anything else would involve interaction which would be weird as fuck and not in the spirit of the commute.

Ask them if they know Jesus loves them. That should normally do the trick and get them to move.

What is wrong with people?
Got on the train this morning and it stank as someone was eating something foul. Now some filthy bastard has dropped a stinky fart.

One on one? You're crazy.
one of the doors wouldn't open, so had to walk slightly further to get on, upside of that was there was an empty-ish carriage near the faulty door as other commuters couldn't be bothered walking all the way up the carriage if they would have to walk back again if the faulty door was platform side at Liverpool St -You've used up your luck ration for the month, so it's all going to go to shit from now.
it wasn't

Another filthy bastard farting on the train home. What is going on with people's gaseous bowel burps? And this train is far too hot.
