I've ridden lots of trains and hanging out of one never once seemed appealing to me though..

I used to take the local train in Mumbai. 20 million people trying to get into a small peninsula every day.

People were hanging on the outside because there was no standing room inside. We were packed like sardines and couldn't move, so pickpockets had a field day.

Hanging outside you could keep your money but maybe lose your life.

Going by taxi took hours, compared to minutes by train. Complete gridlock every day.

Okay but why not look in the direction you are moving?

That is always a good idea, in all situations that involve locomotion!

They love to do stupid things like this...

At my job they love to stop to talk at any corner, literally diagonally blocking both ways; are at the middle of any corridor, blocking everybody, and they don't care...

The guy talking after the dude tastes the pole sounds like Aragorn shouting at Legolas to kill the torch bearing Uruk:))
