[Case 1: lunch time]
Train slowed down. Everyone formed a wall outside the train door. Uncle had trouble getting out.
Little girl was having fun going round and round the pole. An auntie in the 50s came in, saw that the only seat unoccupied was next to the mother, moved towards it. Mother scould, "See la, auntie take your seat already la!" Auntie hesitated till a surviving strand of social decorum kicked in. "Oh it's okay, you can seat". Auntie took the seat reluctantly. Girl continues to dance around the pole. Mother assumed a very crossed look and gave her a slap on the butt.
My stop was approaching, I got up early. Auntie shifted to the seat which I occupied. Mother gave another stern meaningful glare at her daughter.
[Case 2: Sojurn]
Train slowed down. Everyone formed a wall outside the train door. Passengers had trouble getting out.
Yuppy couple rushed in, took the seats meant for those who would benefit from the proximity to the doors. When the old folks came in after them, they looked away.
