When I was living in Saitama-ken, me and my friends were always classifying the other passangers into the following groups:
-sleeping people
-cell-phone (or other devices)-using people
-talking people
Of course, there are others, as you listed many more, but at least in our trains, those were the largest groups.
Then there are also people reading those large volumes of manga, often just leaving them behind when they were getting off the train.
I never saw people take off their shoes, but we noticed quite a few people were either wearing extremely worn-out or very new shoes, and shoes with a white cap like those converse shoes were also quite common. ^^
Oh, and during my first week, I saw a young woman talking on her cell phone, until the man next to her asked her to stop. "Yamete kudasai!" She didn't look very happy, but she did stop!
Yeah, occasionally I hear someone berate a cell-phone user, but those cases are few and far between. I wasn't particularly bugged by a lot of these people before I came to Japan, but recently I've noticed that when it comes to some of them, I'm very イライラしやい
Maybe I'm turning Japanese. No pun intended.
