School is starting again, which means that I along with many others will be spending a lot of time on public transportation. Whether you take a bus or train you are bound to see these 7 types of people on your commute.
1. The Workaholic

Sporting a briefcase, three piece suit, a coffee thermos, and a Bluetooth, Mr. Self-Important is on his way to show the world that not even his lack of a car will stop him from making junior partner. Despite the pompous appearance, he manages to keep to himself and bother no one, until of course he has a screaming match with one of his associates via Bluetooth at 7:30 a.m.
2. The One With Terrible Hygiene

Unkempt, unshaven and unwashed. This heathen has not bothered to brush his teeth, wash his face or God knows what else. All you know is that he's sitting next to you, and you now have to find a way to hold your breath for the next 18 miles.
3. The One On Their Cell Phone

The Workaholic may have been engaging in serious work related issues, but this social butterfly is wrapped in mindless conversation about who knows with who cares. Despite this, these creatures are no match for your best source of defense... HEADPHONES!
4. Kids

Look, I get it. Kids are way too young to be subjected to this madness and in fact a part of me would love to join in on their crying fit. But nothing is worth crying over for 20 stops, and those headphones that were used to defeat the cell phone addict, are no match for a screaming baby. Just pretend you don't hear it.
5. Moms

Visibly stressed, shopping bags on each arm, and the child she has brought into the world is now screaming in the seat next to her. "Control your kid!" You'll want to scream, but one look at her and you know you probably would've fallen asleep and forgot the kid ten stops ago.
6. Teens

They never walk alone, always in groups, always laughing, always talking, always enjoying life, how dare they? Sure it's cynical to be upset at the sight of people being happy, but all we want is some peace and quiet, is that too much to ask?
7. You

Not much to it, you're just minding your own business as you go through your phone and listen to music. A bus filled with people like you would be a delight, but without these 7 types of people, would it really be the same?
