Loud iPod listeners are 'the most annoying commuters'

New survey suggests iPod users are worse than other transport pests

A new survey has found that UK commuters who listen to loud music on iPods are the most annoying type of transport users, according to those polled.

The poll, carried out by Jetsleeper, found that those quizzed said loud iPod users were more annoying than commuters who used mobile phones loudly or those suffering from contagious viruses such as colds, reports The London Paper.

According to the survey, the second most annoying type of commuters were those who read broadsheet newspapers at full stretch on busy trains.

The third most annoying kind were those who fall asleep on transport and dribble on fellow passengers.
