I think it's displaced frustration, whether at the train being crowded to begin with or one not liking the destination one's on the way to. That said, I hate crowded trains...a few days it week it really gets to me. I never understood the thing about getting upset with women putting on makeup on trains.

I think it's quite nice to see people doing stuff on the train that is slightly personal really... much better that than being terrified of strangers and just sitting there staring at your feet. Anyway, people on trains are generally much more tolerant than people in cars. You see far more drivers having minor road rage than train passengers. The worst people get on trains is moaning a bit when it's late, wheras drivers aren't unknown to shout and swear at each other for the most minor reasons....
