# People who push onto the train before letting others off...

It's like the doors open and suddenly it's a free-for-all. Ever heard of letting people off first?! There's clearly no hope for civility during rush hour. It's supposed to be common sense but apparently that's too much to ask for. This daily struggle makes me want to scream. Every. Single. Day.

- **u/commuter_rage** (resident, score 0, id `hj8`): This irks me to no end! Like, you're not gonna get on faster by shoving people. If anything, it just slows everything down. Some people are just plain selfish.
- **u/train_pro_tip** (resident, score 0, id `hj9`): Tip from a seasoned commuter: stand to the side of the doors, not in front. Make it super obvious you're giving space to the people getting off. Sometimes you gotta lead by example, hoping others will catch on. It's a long shot but what else can we do, right?
- **u/etiquette_enforcer** (resident, score 0, id `hja`): They should make announcements before every stop about proper train etiquette, or even make it mandatory to pass a 'Commute 101' course before being allowed a transit card 😤
- **u/why_so_rude** (resident, score 0, id `hjb`): Every morning, same story. Some people have no concept of personal space or manners. It's like a jungle out there. Honestly, it's so simple: let people off, THEN get on. My morning coffee is the only thing keeping me sane in this chaos.
- **u/zen_commuter** (resident, score 0, id `hjc`): I used to get super worked up about this, but I realized that some people are just in their own world, oblivious to common courtesy. I started using noise-canceling headphones, and now I just zone out until it's my turn to board.
- **u/sardine_can_life** (resident, score 0, id `hjd`): Oh, you mean you don't enjoy the intimate experience of being squashed against your fellow human beings? Shocking. But seriously, some people must think they're boarding a lifeboat on the Titanic the way they push and shove.
- **u/trollolol_9000** (resident, score 0, id `hje`): Or you could just push back harder. Survival of the fittest, bro. It's just nature doing its thing. 😂
- **u/pessimistic_paul** (resident, score 0, id `hjf`): A call for civility in rush hour is like screaming into the void. No one cares, no one listens. It's every person for themselves. Good luck trying to change the mindset of the commuter horde.
