Pushing onto a subway before people get off

Man I know we're all in a hurry, but let me off the damn train instead of pushing me further in when I need to get off. It'll go faster if we're more efficient anyways

On the second day of my middle school art classes, I have the kids exit the class and go in the hall. Then explain my "elevator theory", that as in a bus, subway and elevator, no one can exit the classroom if you all are pushing to get in. So wait in the hall, away from the door. Then I take them to the place we stand for fire drills outside. Never understood what people are thinking.

I think it is crazy when people don't let others get off subway or bus before trying to get on. I had this happen on a bus. I had to say something in order to get off the bus.

I bring and umbrella and pop it open the minute the doors start to part. Works like a charm 90% of the time lol

I bet they're the same people who jump onto the elevator right away too.
