15 Problems Only London Commuters Will Understand

6. People Who Ask You To Move Down Inside The Train

We hear it every day when we use the tube; €œplease move down inside the carriage.€ It€™s almost always the station announcer saying it, and we do our best to follow the advice. Usually we don€™t have much choice as we€™re compressed deeper and deeper into the train by the throng of other commuters. However, every now and then, a passenger decides to pipe up and confidently utter the immortal words themselves; €œcan you please move down inside the carriage?€ We don€™t know who these people think they are but they are obviously either insane or some kind of undercover TFL workers. No passenger should make demands like that on the London Underground. We€™re not even supposed to talk to one another. It€™s like an actor breaking the fourth wall. It just should not happen.
