The New York Subways - Let them off first, please
Damn, a lot of New Yorkers are stupid when it comes to the subways! Even the smart ones! A certain ethnic group, which I will not mention for fear of being called a racist, even though the truth is perfectly evident for those who care to see and admit it, purposely gather in front of doors and when possible, push onto the trains before anyone has a chance to get off. The general manners of other people seem to have gone down markedly in the last few years.
It was never quite like London and many other cities, where most people stand to the sides of the doors to let people off first, as is the correct and sensible etiquette, but the numbers of the selfish, ignorant, complete fucking idiots seem to have mushroomed in a very short while.
There have always been occasions at busy stations when I just had to barrel through the crowds blocking my exit and it is true that mostly, a simple condescending glare suffices for room to be made, but why can’t these people work out a very simple truth that shouldn’t be a problem for a person of very limited intelligence to comprehend?
They want to get on the train. They get impatient as large numbers get off, blocking their entrance. So they grudgingly make enough room for those exiting to do so in a single file. When they notice people piling in through neighbouring doors and taking he seats they were eying, they get upset and push past those who have still been unable to alight due to their own extreme stupidity and self exacerbating impatience.
Why is it so difficult for them to figure out that if only people got off faster, they could get on faster? And the way that this could be accomplished is if they stand to the side of the doors. Exactly how stupid are they really? Is it even measurable?
