Last Wednesday I was carrying a heavy bag which had three rolls of wrapping paper sticking out of the end. As I was walking through Bank station on my way to work a man came towards me so engrossed in his Blackberry that he didn't see me. Now I'm quite stubborn so I refused to move out of his way. Had he not looked up at the last second, well let's just say he would have been walking funny for a little while! But good on him for keeping to the rules.
On Thursday a follower on Twitter sent me a photo of someone keeping Rule 3 in a slightly different way. The lady in question had her bag on the bus seat next to her. There was just enough room for someone to sit down next to the bag but she drefused to move it to aid comfort. Well done!
On Sunday I took my niece and nephews to London for the day. I was so proud of my 10 year old nephew for rushing to get a free seat, although he did let me down by then giving it up for an elderly, disabled person. But it was his nan so can't complain too much about that. His 6 year old sister on the other hand stuck to her guns and refused to move!
Monday morning I witnessed the best example yet of seat blocking. Getting on the DLR at Woolwich Arsenal I noticed a couple with a pushchair. But they went one better than blocking the door - they put the pushchair in between the seats thereby taking two seats out of action. I'm not sure if they moved or not as I rushed down the carriage to get another empty seat!
And finally, on my way home last night I had three people come through the barriers and stop right by the gates, blocking anyone wanting to get to the escalators. Well done - keeping the rules made some of us miss the train.
