So...
If you have to get off a couple stops down the line, how do you do it?
Can you say "personal space?"

Not so very different from the London Underground. The "Packers-in" are still unofficial, and liable to get a boot in the face from the people inside.
Mind you, as the train moved off, I was wondering about the possibility of one of the windows bursting out under the pressure...
Whoops! there they go!

Looks like everyone gets off, and then if it's not your stop, you get back on. Seems like that might delay things a bit.

On a New York subway car, you start moving and say "getting out, getting out" or similar and 99% of the time people blocking your way will step off the train or move aside to let you out, getting back on as need be. A person does need to be aware that their stop is coming up, otherwise they might not get off in time. The conductors know which stops are usually the busiest in terms of people getting off and they factor that in.Dale wrote:I thought about this. It's a fine question.emmline wrote:So...

Japanese passengers are on average much more polite than New Yorkers so I'm sure it works out fine, even though the trains are more crowded. People are adaptable, after a few dozen times it becomes old hat.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Same here. I guess you do whatyou have to do to hold down a job. Things like this tend to make us small town dwellers smile smugly.cowtime wrote:....or VA.....rhulsey wrote:This is just one more reason why life in Pissant, TN isn't so bad after all!
