地铁，也可以是个令人“提心吊胆”的地方。

Things that no one wishes to happen while travelling on the train:
1) The combination of a packed train and faulty aircon system
2) Standing next to a bunch of sweaty people, with no where to go
3) On the train with someone whom you don’t wish to talk to, but have no choice but to talk to him
4) Squashed at the back door when it’s the station to alight
5) Squashed at the front door, with no one willing to squeeze into the abundant spaces in the middle of carriage
6) The person standing next to you is coughing/sneezing nonstop
7) Standing beside a person who does not realize he is blasting some noisy music through his earphones at maximum volume, fully audible to all passengers in the carriage
8) The person beside you is scolding loudly on the phone, as if he is the only person on the train
9) Kids treating the carriage as their playground, with the handles acting as monkey bars and the poles are trees-look-alike (I used to do that actually, in an empty carriage that is =P)
10) Someone attempts to make your stomach growl by carrying some nice-smelling food, when you are already very hungry
11) A sudden train jerk with everyone around you toppling over one another
12) The train which you are on is declared as faulty and thus out of service, only to find it back in service a few minutes later, after everyone has vacant the train
13) A train, which is in front of yours, is faulty
14) The train, after crawling for awhile, stopped moving in the middle of 2 stations
15) No one else on the train, except you and probably 1-2 other people, you will wonder if you really board the “correct” train, especially during the peak hours…
