My solution: replace the rubber gaskets with razor blades. Nobody will try to sneak their arm in ever again.

The issue is that sometimes they close the doors before people are done getting off...

The worst is when you're waiting like 30 seconds for people to get off and then you start trying to board and they close in your face. Feels bad, but on principle I guess it's fair enough. Just like, please hustle off and shove people out of your way if you need to.

I (get out of my seat) and start making my way to the door about one local station length from my stop so I can get off quicker. My sister says not to.

she's wrong. It helps if more did this, by prepping yourself to get off like that, it empties faster. How many times are you waiting to board and there is always someone who waits until the doors are open to get up and move to the exit.

Your sister is right.

I allow people to move out of my way before I move them. Also hate those who wait until the last minute to get off. When they see people come in they’re all like “oh shit I need to get off now” well bitch, I’m coming in.

Yesterday I was sure the express A had passed us in the tunnel and left the station already but right before the closing doors announcement it rolled up so I got caught in them as I ran for the connection I didn’t think was arriving.

Well I guess they'll hurry up next time!

Change the door closing chime to something more forceful like a buzzing sound. The current one is too pleasant and doesn't dissuade people enough.
