From feet up on chairs, to the hippie swinging in his own hammock: The website that shames your VERY annoying fellow passengers

PUBLISHED: 04:46 GMT, 10 August 2012 | UPDATED: 12:19 GMT, 10 August 2012

The morning commute is frustrating enough already, with the early wake up and overly-crowded train cabins.

But that doesn't include the man next to you balancing a bowl full of muesli and milk on his bike in a crowded subway car, just waiting to spill all over your briefcase.

Or the passengers who value their sleep- and space, spreading themselves out over four different seats- over your rights as a fellow passenger?

A true Californian: People have taken to Facebook to post photos of commuters- like this man in a hammock- who annoy them on the San Francisco BART subway

Oblivious: This rider is seen rolling a joint very visibly on the BART train

Disgusting additions: Dirty diapers (left) and condoms (right) are left under seats

People over dogs: This woman loves her dog enough to ignore typical social cues

These annoyances may be common and shared by commuters globally, but a particularly frustrated group of San Franciscans took to Facebook to do something about it.

A group was formed specifically posting photos taken on the Bay Area Rapid Transport, with the simple mission of posting 'photos of idiots, jerks, a**holes on BART that deserve to be publicly outed for ruining your commute and breaking the rules!'

Apparently the rude behavior of travelers has gone against the stereotypically laid-back attitude of San Francisco residents as there are 2,227 members of the group so far.

Morning muesli: This man tries to balance his full-to-the-brim bowl of cereal and bike while not spilling

Setting up camp: This cheerful traveller brought his own seat and that bothered one Facebook contributor

Sickening: Apparently these two BART riders made themselves sick during their trip

Splaying out: One of the most common shots were of people spreading themselves over multiple seats

Everything he needs: This man brought his dog, skateboard, and bags on the train and set up camp

Catching his rest: This man made sure he was completely cozy for his ride

It's not surprise with the American's "it's all about me" attitude.

"What the heck does this have to do with us in the UK? Are there such a large number of Americans living here who would be interested in reading this article." - Ayatollah Al, Cheshire, Ayatollah, I don't live in the UK, but I see weird articles like this one only in the DM, which entertains me regarding stupid stuff that is happening in the US, which my local paper does not cover. However, since we're commenting on the grossness of public transit, Atlanta has the MARTA train system that is much cleaner than SanFran's BART, but has panhandlers that jump on at a stop and has a captive audience till the next stop that annoys me!!

If the transport companies weren't so desperate to keep revenue and stop being too tight to pay for staff, these things could be addressed by security, etc. But no, again it's the public that are expected to sort out the trash on a service that's paid for. The nerve...

There are rude people in the world. The more we obsess about it, the more disgruntled we become. If you just accept these people as a fact of life and move on, you'll be much happier.

For instance the girl with the dog, that happens all the time but what's the problem when it's perfectly clear that there are plenty of empty seats around her? - anon, Somewhereinthenorth, 10/8/2012 11:10; The problem is not that it's taking up one of the seats, the problem is that it's got its unhygienic backside on a seat that somebody will later unsuspectingly sit on, touch and rest their belongings on. The seat will be covered in dog hair and probably stink as a result. And what if the dog has an accident? Who's going to clean that up? If a person insists on bringing their smelly, slobbering mutt on public transport then they should at least have the decency to sit it on the floor, not on the seats that other people will have to use afterwards. Many dog owners don't even let their dogs sit on their own chairs at home, due to it being dirty and unsanitary, so I don't know why some selfish dog owners think it's acceptable to let them clamber over everything in public.

This rider is seen rolling a joint very visibly on the BART train ------------------------ Maybe he needs it for medical reasons? Marijuana isn't illegal everywhere in the world, you know.

There are no pictures of people eating stinky sandwiches, burgers and soups. That is commuting most horrid. The smell of big subwayesque sarnies completely takes over train and tube carriages. Yuk...
