The London Underground.
It's a fantastic system, over 100 years old and pretty much makes travelling by car in London pointless. The map might be confusing to look at, but in actual fact when you're on it it's not that bad. Unless you're claustrophobic, in which case I imagine it sucks balls.
Almost every Sunday I go to band rehearsals and to get there I take the Tube into Kings Cross. Kings Cross, regrettably, is always choc full of people. And people, as I may have previously mentioned, suck.
Why is it people always feel the need to suddenly stop without warning at the absolute busiest part of an already-packed and narrow walkway?
"Alright, I'm walking down the platform with 500 people behind me... NO! I must look in my bag right this second! My sandwich cannot wait!" Or whatever.
Even worse than that is people at escalators, stairs or at the ticket readers. You can see the things in front of you. You need to slow down to let the people in front of you go through or down them.
So why in the name of god do you always wait until you're at the top (or bottom) of the stairs, or blocking the way past the ticket machine to suddenly think "Oh yeah, I'm a retard, I'll need a ticket here" or "Y'know, the top of a massively busy flight of stairs is the absolute best place to stop and pick up my bag."
And at the bottom of the stairs they stop to put their bags down again. Blocking the same people two fucking times at one stairway!
I swear, if there was a competition for utter morons, there would be a lot of medals handed out in Kings Cross station.
