Saw a woman lose a shoe whilst diving onto the 18:23 at Kings Cross to Peterborough as the doors were closing, trapping her foot. Daft tw@t.

Clearly the solution to getting more elbow room on the Tube is to smell of wee. Or if you prefer armpits. Disposable waftable wee hankies on sale at entrances to tube stations near you coming soon.

Why? there is another train along in a minute or two. Chilll out...
But for most it seems to be a point of principal. They are too important to wait for anything.

This has happened to me a couple of times, where the train I've got on has been the last one through before a signal failure. It's also happened to me where I've been on the train that was the first to get stopped.
That said, if a train is packed I won't get on it these days - I'd rather get there late than have to smell several "unwashed" armpits...

I don't get into the big smoke very often but when I do it always amazes me how everyone rushes around as if they have to be somewhere really important.
And it really pisses them off when I stand on the wrong side of the elevator or turn the wrong way when I get off the tube and look around lost for the exit signs
chill people. its only work.
