One Very Useless post

Now, every morning when I take the LRT down to work, there are juz tons and tons of people coming in especially at a time between 7.30 and 8.30pm. Sometimes st Seri Petaling station itself, there are already so many people sitting on the train that you end up standing at some corner resting your back or holding on to those metal bars to prevent the law of physics from destabilizing you, inertia.

When you reach up to Bandar Tun Razak or Salak Selatan, it's already packed with so many people, thankfully the air-conditioning manage to keep the temperature bearable and also thanks to those early morning baths that people usually take, my nose don't pick up any funky BO. So to be really squisssshed, you have to be in the right spot in the train. The best place would be to stand in the middle between two doors holding on to a pole, (ok don't get any funny ideas here...) and wait until the fourth station from Seri Petaling, and let people packed in around you till the point that even if you decide not to hold on to the pole, you can stand upright but if the driver decides to slam on the brakes, then be ready for a DOMINO effect, something which hasn't happen yet so far.

The rule of thumb is, DO NOT SEAT!!

To Be Squished:

Step 1
Stand in between two doors near a centre pole
Step 2
Stand there and be prepared for a mad rush of people inside the train from both doors.
Step 3
Continue standing and keep you head up to have more breathing space. The vertically challenged may have problems here.
Step 4
Just stand there and don't start pushing to avoid the domino effect
Step 5
Keep standing until you reach your station.

When standing, you may see some frowning spaces. You might develop claustrophobia. So do not attempt to do this more than once, unless absolutely necessary when people start pushing and you happen to be trapped in the centre.
Solution:

  1. Think of something else to tune out of the environment
  2. Listen to your MP3s...
  3. Go in from the sides

THE END
