I have only one pet peeve about people in LA - they keep their backpacks on when they're standing on a crowded bus, thus making the bus even more crowded. And nobody says anything. If you did that in NYC, you'd get shot. Or bitched at. Or at least glared at.

Thus, I've sent a suggestion to the folks at the Big Blue Bus that their drivers should instruct people to take off their backpacks just as they tell people to move to the back of the bus.
