Are Commuters Deaf?

I wonder if the crowded trains and increase population has clogged the ears of my fellow commuters.

As usual the train is crowded and everyone seems to pile up by the door. I see this lady literally sit all 3 of her bags on the floor right in front of the door. Now I know the doors open on that side so I just wait for the show to begin lol.

Sure enough around Lorimer this lady is trying to get on the train but there is no space (partly because of the luggage) and she is pleading with the commuters to move over because she would like to get to the space on the other side of the crowd. LOL I watch as everyone keeps their pokerface and ignores her pleas for space. Gotta give it to her she pleaded thee entire time until the conductor slammed the doors shut and even as we pulled away I could see her lips moving in disbelief that everyone straight ignored her.

I felt bad but I understood why. When the door opened on my side and 35000 people tried to squeeze on this already crowded train. I'm sorry but I just refused to stand on my big toe all the way to work on this wet Monday morning. So what did I do........I became deaf and heard nothing. So I guess I'm a deaf commuter too.
