Anyone who has enjoyed living in the capital will know that busy, vibrant and exciting cities can be a breeding ground for pet peeves.

That is to say, although London comes with some unbeatable perks - destination restaurants, world-class cocktails and beautiful architecture - it also means enduring other people’s annoying traits on a regular basis.

Do you hate slow walkers? Internally scream at people who hold up the queue in public toilets? Do you strike people off your Christmas card list who queue jump at the self-service checkouts?

Well you’re not alone. Now people are confessing to the unacceptable London behaviour that they know they are guilty of, but simply cannot resist doing.

Several Londoners have taken to a Reddit thread to anonymously confess their city-dwelling sins, inciting anger from fellow users with their selfish and unforgivable behaviour.

“I once didn't have my Oyster card ready when I got to the barrier, I still hate myself for it,” said one user.

“Fetch the tar and feathers!,” replied one commenter.

Oyster card blunders featured highly in the sin list, with one user confessing to regularly tapping at card readers just for the sake of it.

“I have tapped the pink Oyster card readers 'just to be sure' even when it wouldn't effect the ticket calculation for my route,” they said, referencing the pink card readers which tell TFL which route you've taken so you get charged the right fare.

London’s supermarkets are also a breeding ground for contention. There are queues to contend with, people that dawdle in the aisles and selfish shoppers who block you from getting to the shelf you need.

“I only pack my bag at the self checkout after paying,” said one commenter, who attempted to justify his heartless behaviour.

“Look I tried packing as I go but when i did I got that f****** unexpected item warning.

“Packing up after guarantees I don't have to waste time mildly adjusting the item until the machine is convinced I'm not trying to steal something.”

Tube commuters also took to the thread, spilling their secret bad behaviour to the rest of the internet.

“On the Jubilee line, you know those bits that aren't seats but there's some cushion padding you can lean against?,” one Redditer provoked, “I don't believe they were made for two strangers to use at the same time. I do not like sharing those things.”

“I'm a pole leaner. I apologise,” another posted.

If you’ve ever tried to get on a packed Overground train and watched it pull away with ample space in the aisles, you’ll probably seethe at this commenter, who boasted about never making space for his fellow passengers:

“I never move down the train, even when the loud Aussie is tapping on the window and shouting at me,” he said.

Other pet peeves include going to the pub ‘just for one’ and actually having just one drink, wearing a rucksack on the Tube and making prolonged eye contact with strangers.

"Gentrification," suggested one user, inadvertently sparking a comment campaign to make Hounslow the next hipster hotspot.

“I'm leading the charge in Hounslow,” the comments read. “Who's with me?”

“I'll pass,” replied one user. “Let me know when you have a Pret, and when you're not west.”
