Listen up London, you’re doing it wrong. You have the privilege of a world-class mass transit system and you can’t use it right. Shame on you, here are the rules.

The Tube
The Tube (via realSMILEY)

  1. Let me off first. Don’t be the dick blocking the door and don’t even think about getting on before everyone is off. My elbows are pointy.
  2. Hold on to the nearest handrail. Don’t reach across my face. If you do fall over; don’t expect any help.
  3. You’re not getting my seat unless you’re definitely, 100%, disabled. Being fat doesn’t count, nor do mental disabilities (I’m talking to you Mr starey), and if you’re pregnant I may ask for proof.
  4. What’s with the cross over? If you’re to the left of the doors stay left when you board, learn your lane discipline! Do I need to remind you about the elbows?
  5. I won’t move if you stare at me. I won’t move if you shove me. You can ask, but the answer is no.
  6. Dash through closing doors at your own risk. Count yourself lucky not to be openly mocked if you fall, help is out of the question.
  7. Stand on the right. Walk on the right too, you’re moving so slowly you barely count as moving anyway.

Break the rules and suffer my English scorn (a stare and a sigh). I’ll deal with you tourists later.
