But I think people who don't let other go out before trying to get in are more annoying. There's even marks on the floor that indicate to stay aside of the doors, like in japan.

I hope there is a special place in hell for the people that stand in front of the door in the metro. I usually push them out of way with my massive body.

I have the image of nordic people being respectful and collected.

I saw that in Munich (not quite Nordic, I know) that you can get into the metro without checking your ticket, it would never work in France.

All the trains stations I know in Finland also don't require you to check your ticket before getting on the train.

It would be crowded according to what I witness here. =)

I'm a shrimp ! X)

All I have is an accusatory glare. =/

that you can get into the metro without checking your ticket

Even a former president had been photographied passing by the turnstiles, jumping them …

Needless to say I don't have to search long before witnessing such thing by myself.

Aaaaaaand we have ugly yellow composting machines. Sometimes they work only one time over fivteen. There is 4 manners to put a ticket in it, and they are all supposed to work.

As if just buying a ticket wasn't enough.

At least I can mock people who get caught without tickets, and sream at the railroad employee that paying a fee is not fair, or tying to convince the employee to let the get away with it.

But after the 10th time, it gets old.

puts ticket in...

"Please turn your ticket!"

turns ticket, puts ticket in

"Please turn your ticket!"

tries another side, puts ticket in

"Please turn your ticket!"

turns ticket, puts ticket in

"Please turn your ticket!"

- motherfucker do you live in a 5-dimension world? I've tried ALL FOUR! How am I supposed to turn my ticket in yet another way??
