Man at London Bridge Underground station (Northern Line) this morning is hammering on the windows of full-to-bursting trains shouting “Move down the f**king carriage! F**king hell! For f**k’s sake! Move down the carriage you f**king c***s!”
What he doesn’t realise is that everyone on those trains is thinking the same thing – “And let you get on this train? Not likely, you mad bastard.”
But the best thing was, after he squeezed himself onto the third packed train in a row, the fourth train was almost empty.
That’s what I call karma.
The wonders of environmental stochasticity and unknown variables.
I’m not entirely sure that that means, but it sure raises the tone of the conversation round here.:-)
Sorry, I was just reading a book explaining how things like sudden empty trains can occur and why humans sometimes behave that way. John Sterman’s 2000 book ‘Business Dynamics’ if anyone’s interested
Is it good? The title isn’t very inspiring…
