Body odour proves top turn-off

COMMUTERS in Newcastle are most likely to make or receive calls on their way to work, while body odour is the biggest gripe among the travelling workforce.

That is according to a new poll by video game company popcap.com, which also found that loud conversations are the second most annoying thing for travellers on their way to work.

The survey of 1,564 adults also revealed that almost half of commuters eavesdrop on other peoples’ conversations, while more than half read papers, text messages, books and confidential work documents over fellow passengers’ shoulders.

The results also revealed that women are lot less tolerant than men when it comes to babies and children travelling in rush hours.

Londoners are the least tolerant of slow-moving crowds at busy times, finding them four times more annoying than travellers in Sheffield do.
