This photo is burning up the Reddit Chicago boards under the title "People I Cannot Stand on the CTA" and it reminded us of one of our pet peeves about riding the trains.

The obvious solution to this conundrum, when presented with it, would be to ask the woman to remove her items from the seats. And who's to say she wouldn't have done that if the train became crowded? Most of us, at one point, have been guilty of this and, in the litany of cardinal sins of riding the "L," this ranks very low for us, what with people talking loudly on their phones, playing music without earbuds or headphones, eating a full meal on the train, making out on the train (guilty!), wilding in the train cars and expelling various bodily fluids in the hobo corner.

Or you could just sit on her purse and smash what's inside. Your choice.
