yeah, those 15 second door related delays are a bitch
they really spoil the whole unreliable, badly run, filthy, uncomfortable and dangerous public transportation system for everyone. you're right, i deserve a special place in hell. (if it's still running and a tramp hasn't pissed on the fires)

But it's indicative of a far wider problem.
The utter self absorption and selfishness, 'me first, fuck the rest of you' attitude so depressingly prevalent, 0f which you are so clearly a shining example.

possibly, but i'd personally rather bend a few rules and cut a few corners here and there...
than become a sanctimonious pompous drone.

Clearly you are a shining example of moral perfection. I'm happy for you, enjoy your croissant.

That's very kind of you.
I hope you have a good breakfast too. And, if I may add, a fine lunch and a wonderful dinner.

i accept your lunch and dinner
And raise you a once upon a time when, in glasgow central no less, i was directed by the board and an announcement to my train. I boarded like a good little commuter and waited for departure. instead the power in the carriage died and i was left there with a dozen or so other train proles locked on the train. Then through open windows we hear an announcement explaining that our delayed service would be leaving from 2 platforms along in five minutes. Everyone else was resigned to their fate before the end of the announcement. i on the other hand gave it three minutes. When nobody came to free us I hit the emergency door release and caught my train.

Now, the detective part comes when you investigate why i should give a fuck what your personal commuter manifesto says.

People fucking about with doors for kicks. Yeah, sure, feed them through a mincer. People trying to get from a to b against the odds. One does what one must.
