How to spot ****s on the underground....
This often happens and there is a simple tip on dealing with the problem.
If you sense a person that close and you suspect they are ''piggy backing'' on your ticket, walk slowly through the gates. Remember that its when you pass the second set of sensors on the other side that the gates close. If you time it right, there isn't room for them to get through before the sensor register you passing and the gate closes on them. BUT..... DON'T do this if the station is busy They may still try and squeeze through and push you out the way. Be safe! Steve PS: On one occasion I was very pleased to witness a person push through behind another guy. Unfortunately (depending on your view point) he pushed through behind a plain clothes ticket inspector who promptly took his details :-)) "Dan Gravell" wrote in message ... Nick Cooper wrote: Detrained at Lambeth North this morning. Lanky bald ******* got into the lift just as the doors opened, and then stood there repeatedly punching the operation button until they closed again. When he went through the barriers, it flashed up "child" on the display. He even had the gall to then not leave as quickly as possible, but rather stood using the payphone next to the entrance. ****. Not as annoying as people getting through on your ticket by following closely behind. I'm trying to perfect the art of leaving it till the last possible moment before going through the barriers and them closing. Unfortunately my laptop bag makes this harder. And to broaden it a little, people that get onto a bus through the exit doors on the side (and don't pay). Dan |
