90% of what I do. The posting above concerning shoving the ajumas made me laugh. Years ago in Japan they used to "push men" who would literally cram people into the subways at rush hour. These things would be so jammed that it wasn't unusual for a window to just explode.
One day I got lost and very frustrated walking around a very seedy port area. Finally I found a subway station but then realized that still didn't have the slightest idea where I was (ALL signs were in Kanji in those days) I take a guess but having at the same time the unsettling sensation that I may be very well going Yokahama, the moon, it could be anywhere.

I'm on the platform the train pulls up there is a mad screamble to get aboard. I balk at the last moment, I'm not getting aboard this sardine can on wheels going to who knows where, when a push man shoves me inside!

I was younger, stronger, more headstrong in those days. I turned around and just sent the guy flying backwards with my own shove. The door closed and suddenly I realize a radius of about three feet of space has suddenly appeared around me. All these OLs clutching thier purses over their breasts looking terrified.

Well I was into one of those four years of this BS and I'm leaving next week modalities.

I still laugh about it although these days I also feel ashamed of my behavior for whatever that is worth.
