The District line had just restarted after failing over ('trespasser on the track' over five miles away) so the train was absolutely packed, but she had to start pushing on rather than wait for about ten people to get off.
Quite amazingly stupid, particularly as if you have a sling on, not only do you risk having baby crushed but it is usually difficult to see where your feet are going, and there is a risk at some stations that you'll end up in the famous 'gap'. Fortunately(?) the bit of platform I could see included the toes of her trailing foot...
... and the person also getting off behind me laughed when she heard the 'not very'.
Normally, I am more polite than this, honest.
But sometimes, just sometimes...
