One thing that most people do manage to get right is the
stand-on-the-right-overtake-on-the-left rule on escalators on the
Underground. If only they would do the same on escalators in shops
instead
of standing side-by-side blocking the whole width.

Indeed. Another thing most people get right is letting people off the
train before trying to get on.

Most of those who don't get this right (seems to be more common on NR
than on the Underground) seem to be teenagers, and some even have the
gall to be offended when I insist on getting off first.

I'm surprised that no-one has tried to introduce a policy of
stand-on-the-left (for both inside and outside) at train and bus doorways,
which would allow people to get on and off simultaneously.
