- Waiting till someones out of sight before picking up their discarded paper.
- Pressing the open button repeatedly to encourage it to work.
- Jogging at the bottom of the escalator 'just in case' the tube is there.
- Seat smugness.
- 'Microshuffling'. Moving 3mm down the carriage makes no difference.
- Hating someone with all your soul because they're nudging with a backpack/ flapping a paper in your face.
- 'Commute companions'. People you see everyday that you invent an entire imagined life for.
- Extreme panic on thinking you've passed your stop.
- The Not So Cool Now Kid. Full of attitude, but oblivious to the fact we can hear the power ballad he's listening to.
- The Houdini - taking you coat off whist sardined against other people.
- The inability to stop watching someone putting their makeup on.
- Escalator spin-out. You step on knowing it isn't working, your brain doesn't believe you.
Sometime, about a year ago, I suddenly started hating the tube. 2 minutes at a signal and I am freaking out.
To take my mind off things I begun writing lists, each inspired by my journey on the underground.
