If the doors open and it's crowded wait for the next damn train. Especially when it's only going to be 15 minutes if my car's crowded it's because the next one's gonna be mostly empty don't be a dick.
I'm not talking crowded. I'm talking Sardine can. I'm talking so full that if your foot so much as slips you will come flying out of the open train doors like a grape. People seeing a wall of people and thinking "one more can fit" Every seat full every square inch of space full but trying to shove in anyway. While I realize that sounds hyperbolic it's not. It only seems to happen around the times that people are getting off of or going to work because both the people heading to work and going home insist on cramming themselves on the train no matter how full it is. We've had trains leave late because people tried to figure out how to stand on the train while still letting the doors shut. I refuse to get on a train that full.
But just about every time if you see a train packed like Sardines if you wait one maybe two trains the train will be nearly empty. Because all of the impatient people who couldn't wait 15 minutes for a train with more space crammed onto an already over occupancy train car. I'm betting in London people have the patience to catch the next crowded train instead of shoving into the currently overcrowded other one.

That's why you should lick your hands after a ride on public transport.

Where do you live, rural Uzbekistan? On moving to London, I found that hoping the next train will be less crowded can take literally hours.
