After these 4 months fighting for a place to stand squeezing with the rest of the working population on the train, I find people who lean their entire body on the holding bars my absolute pet peeve. Some of these invertebrates will even lean on the bar when you're already holding it, squashing your fingers under their weight. Even worse - some of them will attempt to read the papers while leaning on the bar, and they will spread the newspapers wide, as if they were right in the comfort of their own home, waving newsprint under your nose.
Why is it that when I see videos of Japanese people on trains reading the newspaper or generally squeezing around in their very packed shinkansens, I never see this problem? Ok, so they've got other problems like molesters, but there are molesters on Singapore trains too. Maybe it's just the grass looking greener on the other side... or as a certain someone in my office would say, "Back in Japan, things were better." XDDDDDD
