Changing platforms int he last minute without proper information. Imagine a station like Mughal Sarai, where most of the crowd convert overbridges as platforms, and if there is no light or electricity in platforms.  If you are travelling with your family(elderly, women and children).  only way is to pull the chain.  2. Inside the train, don't expect any civility from co-passengers as well as the Linen staff or the pantry car vendor.
