pezPez's brief guide to not making a fool of yourself and not being as asshole in public
1. On the Underground, let people in need of a seat have a seat.
2. When it is crowded on the Underground, do not lean on the pole. Let other people hold on to it for balance.
3. When there are already people holding on to the pole, do not friggin' lean on it / hug it / do anything else with it other than hold on to it.
4. Please do not eat smelly food on the train.
5. If you know you are not going to make it to the train, do not throw yourself at the door anyway so that it cannot close properly, and then force the driver to open the doors to let you in. It is dangerous, may damage the doors, screws up the timing for all the trains, and delays thousands of passengers on all the trains.
6. When you reach the top/bottom of the escalator, do not stop to look left and right (no cars will run you over, honey) and then decide which way you want to go. Just MOVE, so that people behind you can actually safely arrive on the floor.
7. If you have missed the bus by a little, or if the bus has stopped because of traffic or traffic lights, do not pound on the door demanding to get in and then hurl abuse at the driver when he doesn't let you. There are reasons the driver will not let you on. He is under guidelines which tell him not to. Opening the doors when the bus is away from a stop may also screw up the SCOOT system.
