A few years ago I was traveling on coach from London to Barcelona. So I was sleeping at night , and all of a sudden a woman tapped my head, in a very agressive way and snapped "you have been snoring for hours, you need to stop!!!"
I was very close to tell her to f*** off, since she reacted in a way like if I was doing it deliverately, but then I thought that it was better to let it go and dont make any fuss.
I just thought "so what if this travel lasted a few days, would we end up having a fist fight here or what??"
I even thought about a little revenge when I saw this woman taking off her shoes, I thought about waiting for her to fall asleep and then startle her and scream "your need to put your shoes on, there's a smell!!!", but I didnt do it out of respect for the rest of the passengers.
So this little anecdote lead me to wonder until what extent has anyone the "right" to wake somebody snoring on a public place???
I mean, if you want a perfect silence you fly on first class, or you just stay at home and dont even travel, but on a packed couch it's a different story.
I am not saying it's okay to keep 50 people from sleeping for a whole night, of course, but do we have the right to ask somebody to stop doing something that is beyond his/her control???
I just wonder what the situation might be in the USA, a New York-Los Angeles can take several days, I guess there must be lots of situations like that there, lots of "interaction" among passengers.

Snoring in public?
Active Ink Slinger
Never seen (or heard for that matter) anyone snoring in public and never done it myself, or at least I hope not :S
I have however, seen someone sleeping on the ferry with big strands of saliva running down their face and onto their shirt. Awkward at first until every one just flat out started laughing at him.

I always seem to sit next to the one old man who will fall asleep on the bus and snore like a drunken sailor...either that or the 12 year old kid who's so tired they curl up on your lap. (You wanna watch for the younger looking 16 yr olds trying to do that.....Learned the hard way 
)
Either way it's kinda cute, one because it reminds me of my dad and the other because it reminds me of my little brother, however I can see how it might be irritating to someone who doesn't find it funny or endearing.
On a completly different train of thought I am inspired to start a new forum post "Funny things that happen on public transport"...

This happens to me all the time. Snoring and drooling on myself. And, if I take a dose of Ambien, I'm prone to sleep jerking also.
I imagine it's a bit disconcerting for some folks - to see a middle aged chap, drooling on himself, while snoring and jerking himself off...on the train to work in the morning. But hey, I can't help myself. Deal with it.

The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.

Yes, if I was sitting next to a snoring passenger I would just try to startle them away with "accidental" jabs with my elbow or a loud noise, or suddenly shine that little overhead reading light directly into their eyes and then say "oops, sorry about that". I don't think I'd aggressively wake them up in order to tell them off, but often just waking them up a little is enough to stop the snoring (at least for a little while). I've also done this with people if they're sleeping next to me. I slept next to a snoring girlfriend one night after partying and I kept pinching her through the night to wake her up enough to get her to shift away or turn on her side. The next morning she said she'd had terrible dreams of being bitten by piranha while swimming. I confessed it was my active little 'pincer' fingers trying to silence her shockingly hideous phlegm rattle. I once had a snoring boyfriend and I used to stay awake all night counting the leaves on the tree outside his window because I couldn't sleep. I'm a non-snoring person and a fairly light sleeper, so it can really be frustrating.
I say wake them up! Why should they sleep peacefully, and you stay awake the whole time enduring the noise they're making?
If I was snoring, I'd want someone to wake me up... especially if I was doing it in a public place!

You just have to cough loudly. Somehow that makes people stop snoring...temporarily.

Hmm... not the ones I've been around... They've needed direct physical contact (to varying degrees).
If you're on a plane and they're sitting in front of you, a little kick to the seat works nicely too...
Flying back from Zurich on one occasion (on SAA) - a middle-aged man across the isle from me snored and farted the entire night, initially soliciting chuckles from his fellow passengers, but we all soon got tired of it until somebody asked the flight attendant to wake the man up before he shat himself. I thankfully fell asleep after a few scotches ...and never had to endure too much of this, but my business partner says he kept being woken throughout the night by this man's crude noises - poor bastard doesn't drink.
