The drill means that people coming toward you are on your right and so traffic moves smoothly.\u00a0 Simples, before we became adults in public spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Walking toward the central line platform, on the left, a sea of people spread across the path confronted me.\u00a0 Hundreds all coming toward me.\u00a0 Little me.\u00a0 I felt like a skipjack before a school of sharks.\u00a0 But then like Moses the sea parted.\u00a0 Only to close around and engulf me.<\/p>\n<p>It was like a flea being deeply inhaled by a mastiff.\u00a0 After what felt like hours but was probably just a few claustrophobic seconds. I emerged battered but not too bruised and on the left.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 20pt;\">&#8216;bumping, barging and bruising&#8217;<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Walking the stairways (tube escalators being the exception) are no better.\u00a0 People come at you from all angles. \u00a0It&#8217;s more dangerous than driving around the Elephant &amp; Castle. Donning warrior mettle, I scrambled my way past, bags, bikes, people, and prams. Arriving too weary and tired, running the last six steps for the train was too much of a marathon.\u00a0\u00a0 The good news about missing the train was that the platform was empty.\u00a0 At least for a minute. \u00a0Then its starts all over again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Commuter-Chaos-3-www.imjussayin.com_.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3823\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/commuter-chaos-when-left-is-right\/commuter-chaos-3-www-imjussayin-com\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Commuter-Chaos-3-www.imjussayin.com_.jpg?fit=626%2C417&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"626,417\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Commuter Chaos 3 | www.imjussayin.com\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Commuter-Chaos-3-www.imjussayin.com_.jpg?fit=626%2C417&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3823\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Commuter-Chaos-3-www.imjussayin.com_.jpg?resize=450%2C300\" alt=\"Commuter Chaos couple holding hands | www.imjussayin.com\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Commuter-Chaos-3-www.imjussayin.com_.jpg?w=626&amp;ssl=1 626w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imjussayin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Commuter-Chaos-3-www.imjussayin.com_.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>People were walking in the middle of the platform pushing fellow commuters into the track or alcoves.\u00a0 Couples \u00a0holding hands as if the densely populated hot station platform is a Caribbean beach.\u00a0 Men walk abreast forming an impenetrable brick wall.\u00a0 While others lug backpacks that look like collapsible homes.\u00a0 It makes for a lot of bumping, barging and bruising and loss of personal space.\u00a0 It&#8217;s nothing like the organised Japanese tube stations.\u00a0 Where is our pavement etiquette?\u00a0 In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/the-highway-code\/rules-for-pedestrians-1-to-35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rules For Pedestrians<\/a>, i\u2019mjussayin.<\/p>\n<p>The discomfort of the rat run is easily avoidable without referring to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/the-highway-code\/rules-for-pedestrians-1-to-35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Royal guidance<\/a>.\u00a0 So, have a care and don\u2019t wander everywhere.
