To think the station announcer shouldn't have to say'please allow passengers off the train before boarding'?

[PollyCazaletWannabe]

Every evening on my way home from work it's the same. People queuing by train doors push to get on before others have got off.

If I am at the front of the queue nearest the doors I try to stand and wait but often others push me from behind and it's get on the train, pushing rudely past others getting off, or risk falling between the train and the platform.

They make and repeat the announcement in the title every time, but it never makes any difference to the rude fuckers.

GRRRR.

YANBU. It's the same thing at my gym class, people pushing past to get in, whilst those of us leaving are standing at the door. I do wonder what has happened to people's manners.

I know, it's the same on buses, people are idiots. Last year we were stood in the doorway of a train - 6 of us with all our suitcases and rucksacks, off on holiday, and DH still had to explain to people that it would be easier for them to get on if they let us off first!

I say something though, and get my elbows out.

I think some people honestly don't know that the convention is to let people out of a room/building before others come in. We have to teach it to children at school. Maybe no-one taught those gym people

It's for foreigners I imagine.

I have been known to shout WAIT in people's faces as I get off. It works.

pamish

yes me too

YANBU ~ we were always taught at school to let people out of somewhere before going in yourself. Good manners don't seem to apply these days though.

It's not just manners though it's common sense. People getting off leave room for people to get on!

I've always assumed the pushers are just a bit thick. You know, it's a physical impossibility to get all those people in until all those people are out.

It's for foreigners? That's a random comment.

I'd say it's for rude people who don't have conventional manners. E.g don't know how to queue up, let people off transport before trying to get on, let doors swing shut in your face instead of holding it for the person straight behind.

There seem to be a lot more people who only think of themselves nowadays.

Regular commuters to London are the worst for this. Rude bastards.

It's so bloody rude! I always make a comment like 'err you could wait for me to get off first' or something similar.

It's not just manners though it's common sense

I don't see much evidence of either thesedays!

This is a pet hate. Years ago I saw a woman on Cambridge station knock a child forward so he nearly feel into the gap between the platform and the train, because she was trying to push fowards while he and his mum were waiting for people to get off.

Idiots.

YANBU

You get them standing at lift doors too. Every bloody time I'm in a lift, arrive at the desired floor, the doors slide open and there it is. Dawn of the far king dead. Stand back you dickheads and stop looking so stunned that someone else is using the lift!

*farking, bloody auto correct!

People are bloody rude on the underground. I've had men and women literally push my toddler out of the way. Rush hour turns people into savages! Thank god I'm not a regular on the tube these days

It's not fashionable to have good manners or use common sense these days. Just an observation.

YANBU. I had to go up and down the lift 3 times when I finished work yesterday because people just pushed on so I couldn't get off. Moral of that story, take the stairs tomorrow.

When I lived in London, the only people I saw regularly pushing onto the tube before others got off were either foreign tourists, drunk, or the occasional person who seemed as if they might have some MH issues.

The one exception I always noticed was people getting on the tube from the mainline station at Kings Cross on Saturday mornings. They were British, but judging by accent/map consulting etc, not Londoners. Which used to confuse me, as surely on ALL public transport, lifts etc. it makes sense to let people off before you get on..? It's hardly a strange London-only idea.

Foreigners grovel ?

Yes, it bloody pisses me off. I couldn't get on a train once when I was up duffed and the size of a pregnant elephant. People kept coming off, pushing past and I was too slow and big to get on . A member of staff took pity on me and made sure I got the next one
But dyes, it's bloody rude.
