Matatus are one of the cheapest and affordable modes of transportation for Kenyans. Most of us use them on a daily basis, but unfortunately, sometimes they attract people (commuters) who forget they are STILL in public.

The commuters we are forced to travel together with in the matatus tend to be annoying and do things that drive us up the wall.

Well, below are five most annoying habits of Kenyans in Matatus, read through and leave a comment:

1. Occupying a lot of space

If you know you are "fat" kindly pay for a double seat so that you can sit alone!

Some people have a certain behaviour of occupying a lot of space and spreading their legs in matatu without caring about those seated next to them.

Ukitaka starehe nunua gari yako, stop making other commuters uncomfortable!

2. Leaning on someone seated next to you

Matatus are not lodgings, please.

I can't stand it when someone leans on me while in a matatu.

Some people forget that they are travelling in a PSV and end up sleeping and snoring loudly plus drooling.

If you can't control yourself, please don't sleep in a matatu.

I am not a pillow!

3. Talking loud

Nothing pisses me off as much as a person talking loud in a public transport vehicle.

If you are talking on the phone kindly speak in a low tone, but if you know can't then wait until you alight.

None of us is interested in your conversations, please.

I think Matatu owners should put notices inside the vehicles warning passengers against using phones and whoever breaks the law, should be charged.

4. Polluting the air

I have always failed to understand why Kenyan men fear water. Most of them, starting with the conductor of the vehicle is always dirty, stinking and untidy.

Their odour can even block the nostrils of a toddler.

Every morning I use matatus and can assure you some people, especially men don't embrace cleanliness.

They stink like rotten garbage, they recycle clothes and smell of urine yet it's still very early in the morning.

You can imagine what they smell like by the time the sun is up. Some even fart in matatus.

5. Being touchy

Kenyan men can be annoying at times! Some of them make sure they are seated really close to you possibly to touch you.

They then pretend to be searching for fare in their pocket, but really his main aim is to touch the lady seated next to him.

Ladies...if a man pulls such a move on you, just slap him and wait and see if he will report you.
