With the tube a bit quieter in the summer months, I've decided to play a game. Instead of me getting angry at other people's behaviour, I'm going to behave badly and judge the reaction of others. This way, I will learn whether I am just intolerant or if my exasperation at the lack of etiquette on the London Underground is genuinely reasonable.
So, this week I will be mostly 'fidgets in the handbag girl'. You know the type - the one who, for the entire duration of a trip on the tube, is rummaging in her oversized handbag for something - but never finds it.
Even better, if I get a seat, my elbows will be flailing as I dig deeper and deeper into said oversized bag moving objects around but never actually producing anything of interest.
I will gauge the reaction of both the people sitting next to me and, if standing, those I manage to frustrate with my fidgeting and elbows whilst we are rammed together like sardines in a can.
I will report back.
The Little Book of Tube Etiquette shares the humorous experiences of commuting on the Tube and the tongue-in-cheek etiquette that fellow tube users should follow. This blogs features excerpts from the book and ongoing experiences of the London Underground
