Train Ettiquette

However, I'm wondering if anyone else is frustrated with the following types of behaviours on the train, or whether it is just understood and unnoticed, that these simple gestures of kindness no longer exist
- People pushing in front of you to be first on the train, just as the train arrives, when you have been waiting patiently at that spot for some time
- Men sitting next to you with their legs spread far apart, so they take up half of your seat.
- High School students who pay a portion fare and still sit down
- People talking loudly on their mobiles
- People who have sat the entire trip, not waiting until those who have stood the entire trip get off the train.
Am I the only one?

Hi
I too am appalled at people's manners these days, especially on trains and also in the office.
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone took their backpacks off when they got on the train, instead of knocking you as they pass?
Wouldn't it be nice if people waited patiently for passengers to disembark before racing to get on the train and get a seat?
Wouldn't it be nice, if when the lift opened, that a gentleman would wait for you (a lady) to enter first?
Wouldn't it be nice if people spoke quietly on the trains, not only on their mobiles, but when having a conversation with the person next to them?
Wouldn't it be nice if passengers didn't put their feet on the seats?
These are just a few examples of bad manners, let's hope that they don't get any worse.
Have a great day
