Subway etiquette

Why is it that people who live in this city have trouble with Subway etiquette?

It never fails that as soon as the door opens, the people on the platform are trying their hardest to get in the car. No matter how many people need to get out. I was waiting outside the door to let riders exit before I got on, and this lady started pushing me from behind to try to get on. The driver will not leave the station while people are still trying to get off. You will get on the subway. Just wait your turn.

So now, everyone has gotten off the subway that needed to. It is my turn to enter. About three people who had shoved their way on before me stopped as soon as they got in the doors, refusing to move farther down the aisle to let others on. So I say excuse me and try to slip by them. They all give me rude looks as I try to get down the aisle. I made sure my bag hit at least one of them in the shoulder, some woman who wouldn't even acknowledge me when I excused myself. These people must think that if they move down the aisle a bit, or even shift a few inches to let me by, they will miss their stop. Now, I have always been able to get off the subway, no matter how crowded it is. And these aren't tourists either, but people who have lived here all their lives.

I hate the fcking subway system in this city. This is why I love riding my bike. It may take me a few minutes longer than the subway, but at least I don't have to deal with fat, smelly, selfish people who can't seem to gather the notion of what living in a society truly means. The subway is like a little micro-society. You can tell that these people who act like this on the subway act the same way out there in the world.
