Dicks on trains who get miffed that you want the seat that their bag is on, calling you awkward for wanting to sit in a seat and politely suggesting their luggage go in the luggage rack or between the seats (entirely visible from where she was sitting). Seriously, if you only pay for one seat, only use one seat. Or sit where no one else wants to (I.e. not one seat from the doors on a popular commuter train). I was not the one being awkward, given the alternatives.

Dicks on trains, generally. Public transport does seem to bring out the worst in people.
My no. 1 gear grinder is feet on seats. Honestly, I stopped doing that before I was 14 years old, what is it with grown adults and their inability to realise that bums go on seats, feet go on the floor? Why can they not see that it might be unpleasant for someone to sit down in their nice clean clothes on a seat that someone else has put their dirty shoes on? What lack of insight prevents them from seeing that tomorrow *they* themselves may find themselves dirtying their clothes on a seat that some dickhead has been using as a footstool? You know, karma 'n' shit. What code of twattery dictates the surly, sometimes even aggressive response to a polite request that they should get their feet down?
And breathe.
My favourite "Falling Down" working-man's-revenge fantasy involves those people, their legs, a meat cleaver and an awfully large amount of blood and screaming.

Ditto other people's fucking music played through the tinny speaker of a pad, phone, random device rather than through actual headphones.

OK. I'm in Costa and a man is having a video conference call on his iPad (or whatever) so he is shouting into it and we can hear his colleague tinnily through the iPad's speakers. Knob.

He reverted onto his phone and then put THAT on speaker mode instead. That was all about 'look at me, look at me, I'm teleconferencing from Costa' and little to do with the call itself.

Getting 'phoned about emergency house calls at 8.10am when we pay an out of hours service to cover till 8.30am.
Discovering that the emergency house call is to someone who gets panic attacks having a panic attack.

I could not agree more with the one seat/feet on seats, amazing behaviours. I think, one day, we will get past the shouting at electronic devices....given enough time. Ipads are not a big deal really.
