(xposts to ledge) I am probably one of those savages on narrow staircases as I am fat and clumsy and think that brushing into people is generally best avoided. Not sure if I expect anyone else to do anything though except just not elbow me too forcefully if it could be avoided by pausing for half a second.

this is because, in the end, there really isn't shit to do with guns other than shoot people with them. i bought one about 12 years ago, and found it pretty boring to have. i took it out a few times to shoot it and even that was a little boring. i ended up selling it pretty soon after.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually queue up at a London bus stop.
Thinking about it that would be logistically extremely difficult at a lot of them. The bus stop at Victoria where I take the bus to work serves about 7 different routes, which presumably would necessitate 7 different queues.

indeed, plus the lottery of where the bus will actually pull up - often behind one or two others arriving at the same time so everyone has to walk down several metres anyway.

you definitely get proper queues for certain commuter-heavy bus routes outside train stations in the morning.

The bus stop sign is in the middle of the bus stop layby at my morning stop, which means that:- if the bus goes right to the end of the bus stop, the door is halfway down the queue, and it turns into a free-for-all- if the bus parks with its door alongside the front of the queue, there's no room for other buses to pull up behind it, which causes its own annoying problems
I spend way too long thinking about these problems, and having a mental list of repeat queue-jumpers, and then justifying it when I queue-jump because I tend to get a different bus to most people and it doesn't hang about if you don't fight your way through the other bus's queue fast enough
― susuwatari teenage riot (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 28 March 2013 17:16 (1 month ago) Permalink
(the placement of the sign being mentioned because that seems to be where the front of the queue forms, although I suppose it's a more complicated equation than that)

this is a strange thing to think about (in NYC as well) -- for many people it'd probably be inconsequential if they didn't get on a particular train at all and waited for the next one, but we treat getting on as life or death

There is one bus stop that I use that that serves two directions of one route. Somehow, without any signage of any kind, people invariably line up the same way every time. Eastbound people line up at point X, westbound a just 2 or 3 feet away at point Y.
It's not even like Eastbound people line up on the east and Westbound on the west, b/c the stop is not oriented that way. Just the same side of the curb, no markers, no signs, nothing except strange unwritten rules that keep everyone orderly.
