Nearly had a heart attack...

Suli, I'm glad you and the speedy are ok!

If I was in your situation, I would've screamed and teared up because I'm too chicken to say anything. And then afterwards, if my boyfriend was with me, he would've plugged his ear because I would've given him an earful.
 
Actually, for the metro's sake I have to say D.C.'s is top notch. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN compared to others I have been on. Pretty safe too.
I just hate the whole clausterphobia thing when the train is jam packed full!
 
***hugs*** i hope you're ok and when you got home you had a nice cup of tea to calm the nerves etc....! you're safe now - thats whats important! and its a bonus that Speedy is fine too!!!!
 
The important part is that you're okay. Hey, I'm all for protecting a beloved bag, but your safety comes first. (Imagine that you rather than Speedy was what was smooshed against the pole. Yipes!)

Glad you're okay! OMG I would've punched someone.

An "accidental" pointy elbow often works. :smile:

It may not work when people are so tightly packed in together, but I've noticed fake but violent sneezing or coughing often entices people to give way as well. :lol:
