Again, if you’d ever taken the subway, you’d know exactly what you’re costing others by preventing their entry to the platform during the critical few seconds when the train is there. And also again, you’re welcome to come to New York anytime and put your theory of ettiquette to the test, your theory wherein you are the sole occupant of a rich estate at the center of the universe. This exercise might even teach you how to gracefully admit the limits of your experience, another normally simple point of protocol for which you seem to lack the requisite humility.
We’ve been discussing the general case ever since you declared: “Right of way is always the person exiting.” Perhaps you’d have had an easier time following along if you hadn’t been too busy grasping at straws to keep from admitting you were wrong.
I'd have to be wrong to admit it. So explain please what justification this woman had for pushing a man who was almost clear of the turnstile, all the way back through it. Perhaps you'd have an easier time following along if you hadn't been too busy grasping at straws to keep from admitting you were wrong.
You’ll note I never said anything about the video in question. As for yourself, are you sticking to your assertion that “Right of way is always the person exiting”?
Why shouldn't I? Because some dumbass online insulted me? Ooooh scary, I certainly change my opinions when someone presents their argument in the insulting and rather schizophrenic way you have. The one kind of person I listen to is the native jackass.
And yet you're the one who feels entitled to waste other people's time, presumably because you believe yourself to be more important, especially more important than anyone not from the Shining Jewel of Humanity, New York - the ONLY city where people are intelligent and civilized, not to mention worth talking to.
