    A message to passengers on trains

    Why do you people insist on cramming around the train doors and barely allowing passengers to get off. OK I understand this when the train is full that people have to struggle to get on board but they do it when there is plenty of room anyway why? I have two dogs that when they are about to be taken for a walk get so excited that they cram the door. Human beings should have more sense. Many of them are the fat ones who are desperate to grab the last seat.

    This annoys me too. I think it's because many people are
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      Shouldn't that be 'passengers waiting to get on trains' rather than the ones who are already on?

      The issue is an annoyance though. I assume they're all ignorant foreigners or something.

        How do you know if the train is full or not before it arrives? You have to stand near the door in case it is full.

        They let you keep dogs? I shall have to contact the RSPCA about this.

            I was thinking this the week before last, not trains though, lifts. Was in Mexico on holiday and every time you got to the lobby the doors would open and there would be a wall of Americans trying to get in so we had to kind sideways shuffle out. Really started to get on my goat by the end of the week. Not once did they stay back and let it empty first.

              Try sticking your elbows out so you wind enough of them to get out more easily
              Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

              No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                I was once at Blackfriars in a large crowd waiting to get out. A large woman barged her way in. A man said "excuse me mmadam do you mind" at which she stop barging and said "no other way through" and carried on barging.

                  It's because if you move inside the train, other people cram around the train doors and you can't get out. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
