Ah yes, I've gotten off of subways between stations... Not a lot of fun. But then again you get to see and smell things that you normally would never see and smell otherwise... And then have reoccurring nightmares about them for years after.

Also, I recommend waiting for the train to stop before exiting.

That and apparently it is frowned upon to leave the train between stations... I suppose that's why there is that nonsense about not leaning on the doors.

Pfft... They also have a sign about not pulling the emergency brake and not feeding the giant mutant rats, but do you see me listening to that either?

Besides, if they really cared the sign would say "Please Do Not Lean Against Doors Or You'll Fall Out And Get Hurt.", instead of just leaving it at "Please Don't Lean Against Doors"... Or what? You have to tell people what... That's too open... What if it's "or some will hand you loads of cash, candy and bacon"... Then you are just getting in the way of my good times as far as I know, not trying to save my life.

But anyway, yes, I agree with what you said about writing about what one knows best... Which in my case is nonsense and rambling like a lunatic. Sadly, aside from political speechwriting, there is not much of a market for that.
