It Wasn't Me

Thursday, 8:40am, the 6 train

The platform is very crowded when a train arrives already packed with passengers.

Female announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, this train is already very full, please step back from the doors if you cannot board easily, there is another train directly behind this one.

Bing bong! (That's the "doors are closing" noise.)

The doors reopen.

Female announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, PLEASE. This train is VERY full. Please do not hold the doors open. There is another train directly behind this one.

Bing bong!

The doors reopen.

Female announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please check to see that the doors are not blocked by your coats or bags.

Bing bong!

The doors reopen.

Female announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please take a moment and make sure that your personal belongings are not blocking the doors!

Bing bong!

The doors reopen.

Female announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, PLEASE make sure that your coats and your bags and your GIGANTIC ASSES are not blocking the doors!

Bing bong!

The doors close.

I catch the next train.
