It's much more fun when the driver is *not* in a good mood and makes
a PA announcement to embarrass the miscreant, whilst refusing to
open the doors. If you're in the affected car then it is even more
fun watching as the other passengers form a lynch mob.

Depends. I got into a Northern Line recently, which was busy, and my
bag fouled the closing doors. The total ****-for-brains up front just
wouldn't open the door. I didn't budge (I couldn't) nor did ****-face.

Eventually other passengers (a lynch mob?) helped me to prise the
doors open enough for my bag to be freed.

I hope the driver's knob fell off.


I suppose it didn't occur to you that if you hadn't got on after the doors
started to close your bag wouldn't have got stuck and you wouldn't then have
delayed everyone else who was on the train?
