Same o, same o

  Two guys on a train. One of them did all the talking, the other one just grunted occasionally to indicate that he was still listening:

"... So, now he wants to divorce his wife and marry his girlfriend."

Pause

"As if that was going to make any difference. I mean, you always go for the same type of woman, don't you?"

Pause

"It's not going to work out. He's going to fall flat on his face."

Pause.

"And anyhow, he's hardly ever home. What does it matter?"

I wish I could do this to people on my carriage...

  I was on the central line at Liverpool Street and the train was packed. People got on anyway, squashing others and making everyone uncomfortable, and the driver, irritably, said
"Would all the inconsiderate people that have no common sense move away from the door, you're making this journey hell for everyone."
When no one moved, the driver said "ok I guess you don't want to go home tonight. This train will not move until you get off, there's a train 2 minutes from now. Thank you."
