The Subway

I was riding back on the Subway from having looked at a sofa (which I totally bought! YAY!) and the conductor was having a hard time getting people to step all the way in so she could shut the doors. Now, what conductors usually say is:

"Please stand clear of the closing doors."

or

"Move all the way in to the center of the car, please."

This conductor was saying those phrases exactly, except her intonation and tone of voice said so much more! She would say,

"Stand clear of the closing doors, please."

but I could tell what she meant was,

"Stupid people, get your butts on the train and stop blocking the doors! All night long at every stop you pull these shannanies, it's time to get to business and step on the train like your life depends on it... please."

I laughed at every stop.
