Why is it, that having waited five minutes for the underground train to leave, the eventual bleeping of the doors attracts one last passenger who runs on to the platform at speed and throws themselves at the closing doors?
And, more to the point, why is the human missile is ALWAYS wearing a backpack which inevitably gets stuck OUTSIDE the carriage as the doors clamp around it, forcing the driver to have to stop, open the doors, and then wait whilst a further group of tourist appear and attempt to enter the now crowded train?
If people with backpacks MUST launch themselves at the rapidly closing doors, why can't they adopt some form of Fosbury Flop to ensure that the offending backpack ends up on the inside of the carriage?
Look, it's only an opinion.
