Driven to MadnessCaptain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall?

Been there, done that.If it's someone in sight of me, I ask them, very politely, if they had "realised that they are in the quiet carriage". This works very well, because it gives them a way out. You're not getting aggressive, you're not accusing them of flouting the rules, you're just asking if they have noticed a sign on the wall. Invariably they say "Whoops, sorry" to save face and everybody is happy.
If it's someone out of sight (and therefore pretty loud if I can hear them) I simply shout "Quiet Zone!" at the top of my voice. This invariably gets laughter all round and the offender, not knowing who did it to them, squirms and shuts the fuck up.
