…no matter how empty the train is, your feet will get stepped on an average of two times.<\/p>\n
…when you decide to sit under a fan in a crowded train, about three people will stand around you, not only blocking out the fan, but also blocking all light, so forget about reading that book\/paper.<\/p>\n
…not only will they stand around and chat loudly over your head, but they will chew paan and tobacco and so fill the air with that stench.<\/p>\n
…if you’re really unlucky, the juice dribbling down their mouth (or spraying all over when they guffaw at whatever joke) will fall on you.<\/p>\n
…elbowing or being elbowed out of the way when trying to board a train on a good day.<\/p>\n
…being yanked backwards by the collar\/scruff of your neck and virtually ejected from the train on a bad day.<\/p>\n
…the smelly old man sitting next to you will fall asleep on your shoulder.<\/p>\n
…the same smelly old man will sit with his arms akimbo and poke you in the ribs.<\/p>\n
…despite being asleep, the smelly old man’s arms will successfully resist attempts to push them away.<\/p>\n
…never being able to talk on the phone since you use a crappy phone service that won’t work on the train.<\/p>\n
…people will ask to read your morning newspaper before you’ve finished reading it.<\/p>\n
…looking at advertisements for “Body Massages” (with “home service”) and wondering why they’d want to put that in a train since everyone gets a free all-over body massage standing in a crowded train anyway.<\/p>\n
…if you’re sitting in an aisle seat, the guy standing in the aisle will decide to rest his butt on your shoulder.<\/p>\n
…you’re thankful he doesn’t decide to rest his groin on your shoulder as others are wont to do.<\/p>\n
…being late every now and then since there’s always some “rail roko” by “public-minded” groups protesting some inane cause.<\/p>\n
…learning to forget you ever had personal space.<\/p>\n
