Holding doors open

holding-doors-open

When somebody holds a door open, you should pass through quickly and deftly without holding the door open for the person behind. You should do this with an air of nonchalance.

The person behind you should not expect to get an easy pre-opened door just because the person in front held it open just for you.

Closing train doors

closing-train-doors

When the door closing alarm sounds, if not yet on the train, you should immediately accelerate and attempt to jump through the closing doors. Approximately 50% of the time, you will make it through the doors and stand looking appropriately smug inside the train.

The other 50% of the time, the doors will close too quickly and clamp around your head/arm/leg/bag. When this occurs, you should attempt to free the trapped head/arm/leg/bag. Other passengers may come to your assistance and attempt to pull apart the doors.

Inevitably, none of the attempts to free your head/arm/leg/bag will be successful and the driver will begrudgingly have to re-open the doors.

At this point, when the door closing alarm sounds again, somebody else will repeat the above.
