How many of you have experienced this. You are seating and behind you and the window glass lies a London Metro or London paper or London Lite. You have your copy, so are you busy reading, it trying to remain oblivious to the crowding and crushing around you.
Suddenly, a long he/she hand approaching your face and then takes left or right turn just missing your ear. Now most of the travellers are courteous and then normally say "Can i have that paper please" but some are really nasty. They just grab it and start reading as if they are trying to honour your reading and not wanting to disturb you but eventually they do more harm then good.
I had this lady who ran and got in the tube just second before door close and may be due to being out of breath or whatever, she just grabbed the paper behind me without a word of excuse or please. Not sure if this is rude but she was definitely attacking some my private space, on the other hand, requesting it would be a better approach, i think.
