Lesson #29-Wait until everyone has gotten off

It is a relatively known fact that the subway revolves around the concept of the survival of the fittest. However, within that concept are things that allow for a certain level of structure. For instance, when the train pulls up and the doors open, it is common courtesy to let all the passengers wanting to get off the train, get off and only then proceed the grueling process of getting on. And just in case any of you were unaware of the fact that the train operator will not leave the platform until all the people waiting to get on the train are on, I just told you, so now you have no excuse.
In any case, there are still some people that are unaware of the simple concept of waiting until everyone has gotten off before getting on, so this recital of a recent Red Line event will attempt to put some things in perspective- an attempt to educate perhaps. Once the stop is announced, those that are going to get off begin to gather their things and start heading for the door. The same can be observed on the other side. Once the train arriving is announces, those that are going to get on begin to gather their things and start heading for the door. When the doors open, there seems to be a malfunction with the machine that is the subway and both groups move towards each other, causing friction, which in turn results in tension, which undoubtedly ends in an act of violence.
A rather ballsy asian lady, weighing in at no more than 120 pounds began pushing her way onto oncoming traffic at the Red Line stop - Central Square. Unfortunately for her, those that were getting off were way more eager to get off than those that were wanting to get on. That fact, combined with her tiny frame did not make for an even battle. She made it halfway inside the train, when a group of latecomers, rushing to get off, forced her out again, causing her to bang into the side of the train. With a hurt look and an under-the-breath "Ouch", she pulled back and joined the others, waiting patiently to get on the train.
So there you have lesson # 29. Simply put, wait until everyone has gotten off before getting on, or you might end up getting hurt.
