There are certain platforms at Union Station that just weren’t meant to carry more than a handful of passengers. They are narrow and commuters must hug the wall unless they want to be whisked away by an oncoming train. Which would create a huge delay.

And after just one post, you all know how the GO Transit Bitch feels about that.

What makes it worse are the idiot riders who insist on standing shoulder to shoulder, blocking the width of an already-narrow path, not allowing others to pass by. To squeeze by these assholes, one has to walk along the edge of the platform, risking falling onto the tracks.

And if you’ve listened to the Ambassador’s announcement, crossing train tracks is both prohibited and illegal. I imagine falling onto said tracks is covered under the same category.

If you want to queue up to go down the first set of stairs (you lazy fucker, you) then move over and allow everyone else to pass by. Some of us walk the length of the platform; or at least walk to the next stairwell.

The world doesn’t revolve around you, you imbecile.

It revolves around me.

Did you see Slumdog Millionaire? I was amazed that the platforms in Mumbai's train station were big enough for a Bollywood dance number!
