[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 182293, member: 3704"] I work in a highrise in the city centre and often take the subway to work. I've done this routine for more years than I'd like to admit. I would like to be charitable and say like HWGA that people are clueless - they just don't get it.However, after years of dealing with the train/elevator issue of people blocking doors I have to say that I really think that most folks DO have a clue - they just don't care about accomodating others. They have their plan and they are sticking with it - to heck with everyone else. Just my personal opinion. A few months ago though, a young man on a crowded train saw me standing and said, "Oh here Mam, you can have my seat". When his friend asked him why he did that, he said (very loudly) " I've always been taught to give up my seat for my elders". You know how sometimes a crowd get really, really quiet? Well ,everyone had a good chuckle over that one :) I almost prefer the rude push to that..... yikes. [/QUOTE]
