Going to work
If they are late for work and they need to rush, that is absolutely fair enough. Because it is work and being late for work is always bad news.
But then if they are always late and need to rush all the time, maybe they should just get their "behinds" off the bed earlier. How about that?
Going home
Ok. This one really pricks my tits. If they are going home, why the hell do they need to rush? I mean what is happening at home? Has there been a calamity at home and someone needs rescuing? Is there a certain time before which they need to get home, otherwise they are liable for a punishment? What is it?
I see people running for the tube, risking life and limb. Getting squashed by the closing tube door. Squeezing themselves into the tube like mashed potatoes. It is a wonder the tube works at all!
Tourist tip
So if you are thinking of visiting London, bear in mind that the London tube is one of the primary forms of transport. I am not denying the fact that the London underground is a sophisticated network that is the best in Europe but it does get very busy with lots of madcaps rushing around for reasons only they know. And to be honest, I doubt even they know why they are rushing. I guess it is one of those human traits that makes one do what everyone else does. I know. Its ridiculous.
No. This one is in Tokyo, Japan
Yeah. This is the London Tube at peak time
