If you’ve ever commuted in London, we’re sure you’ll be familiar with some of these struggles…
1. The unbearable ‘move down the carriage’ cries into a sardine packed train.
@LondonMidland It’s the selfish ‘can you move down’ shouts from the platform that are a bug bear. Where? pic.twitter.com/jzny6eY64u

2. The whole left/right of the escalator trauma.
People in front of you that walk up the left side of escalator so slow you switch to standing on the right as it’s probably quicker ?

3. The ‘penguin on acid’ shuffle.
People that run for a bus… When I say run I mean move their arms fast whilst their legs remain at the same pace. I’ve got places to be!

4. Business wankers taking up all the space with their tablets and laptops…

5. … And just general wankers.

6. The claustrophobic feeling you get in an overly crowded carriage.

7. When the platform is happy to finally see a train arrive but then you notice it only has 4 carriages…
‘Hottest day so far.. I know what we need! A train running with 4 carriages. Pack the buggers in that’s it’ Top work today @LondonMidland

8. ‘This service is now changing to go via Charing Cross.’ *immediately gets off train and runs to Bank branch*
Tried to get on 3 trains to work today … Was on and off more times than Ross and Rachel! #friendsreferencinglikeaboss

9. When the price of travel keeps rising and you think you’ve caught a break but actually no.
So the frozen tube fares aren’t frozen for those who pay big money for travel cards… #SadiqKhan #tube #prices pic.twitter.com/10IU0axR7n

11. Don’t worry about forgetting to grab a free newspaper!
The one plus side to being crammed into a train is you get to read someone else’s paper @MetroUK #london

12. When someone uses extra seats for their belongings…
