Re: Underground Etiquette

Tried using it again last week. In addition to the usual people either glaring at you or trying to look at the floor, I saw a pedophile being cautioned by the police. The station I wanted to use to get onto the DLR was closed till next year. Rather uselessly this was only signposted on the station itself. I couldn't even find the entrance to one station I needed to use. Once I was finally on the train it mysteriously stopped at one station and we were told to get off an wait further instructions. 20 minutes later, nothing had happened and no explanation was given either as to how long it'd be, or the proposed alternate route we should take. At least all this occurred outside rush hour so I was able to get a seat. I ended up using cabs instead as I didn't have my bike with me.

First, what's the rules on humming, whistling and tapping you feet in a happy manner, cus from what I could see I was the only person who seemed to be in anyway happy about anything.

Eye line, I also seemed to be the only person looking about and not looking at the floor. Is eye contact forbidden or something, as its a bit hard when your that packed in.

Speaking to people, is it wrong to talk to someone jammed next to you who you've never seen before and probably never will. Its just a lass I was stood next to had a rather interesting tattoo on the back of her neck that I couldn't quiet see. I was going to ask her about it, but refrained, which was difficult cus I was just so intrigued (or just nosey).

And is there anything else I should know... as I just don't seem to get it, I want to say hi to people and they look at me odd now even when I don't just cus I'm smiling. Is all this wrong, or is it just everyone else is wrong?

Perfect for maintaining that empty seat next to you :)

I normally just pat it in a suggestive way.
