Hate the Tube!

[Ur sis in Islam]

Today I was coming home from uni on the tube, and as per usual the tube was packed out!! I got on, and as im quite short I always get pushed and shoved around!!:embar: No1 really cares who there touching or getting too close to!! As I was standing in the middle next to the poll, trying to hold on for dear life!! a FULL grown man fell on me!! yes fell on me!! I was like:eek:
I know it wasnt his fault and it was an accident, of course he oplogised but I jus felt so uncomfortable:nervous:!! The thought of a non-mahrem touching me!!!:vomit: I usually dont get on the tube when its full, but I was running late and had to get home asap!!

Anyone had any bad experience's on the tube?? does anyone have any alternatives to avoid these kind of situations occuring??

[Ibn Sina]

what the heck is "the tube"? is it some british thing?

If you live in a big city such as London, what are your choices, really? Driving is expensive and impossible. Living close to where you work or study is difficult if not impossible to arrange.

I'd suggest biking, but I've known too many people who were severely injured while biking around big cities.

Your only solution may be to move to a smaller city where commuting isn't such a nightmare.

:eek: i can imagine how horrid that must have felt! :nervous:

Have you tried travelling on the tube with a mahram maybe...? these things happen far less if you are with a mahram...:o somehow, people tend to walk more carefully if they see you with a mahram :rolleyes:...Alhumdulillah.

lol its the underground train.

best thing is to lean onto something.:up: it should help but ive never been on the tube so i wouldnt know entirely

[.: Anna :.]

ibn sina its the underground train

sis i hate tube in rush hours aswell. when its in the middle of the day n u can sit its not so bad, but i take bus instead normally. even that its packed out and some ppl are so rude :( like they wont even move a tiny bit to enable u to get out the bus easily in ur stop, rather they have to park a big suitcase infront and then someone else has to keep his huge body right in the way :mad: and when the bus comes in the stop and its busy ppl try to push past you to try to get on first. soo annoying.

wen it gets uncomfortable just put a 'screen' between u and the person next to you with a newspaper. but yeh i know what u mean. maybe forget to put on deodrant one day so u dont get squished (and no, i aint tried that:rolleyes:)

[Riceball]

Do what I do, leave home late and come back home late. :up:

Sis really u love the tube:0: even in da summer wen its soo hot and you cant breath!! wen u can smell everyone and anything??:vomit:

Ive bin using the tube for a loooong time now, but i jus cant get used 2 it!! Maybe cos i get chrostophoibic (duno if i spelt it right) very quickly!! But its jus dat people are so un-considerate!! I duno wat it is maybe cos ive had a lot of bad experiences on the tube, not to mention the constant staring problems that some people have!!

[al_islam]

chrostophoibic

you mean claustrophobic.

it cant be that bad cos real claustrophibiacs flip out and behave oddly in small spaces.....

much like arachnophobics who flip out wen they see a small spider.

[Loobna]

Tubes are horrid esp when they're packed, so are buses and trains- I just dont go into central London unless absolutely necessary. I dont know how people travel like that every day! I actually dont want to go to a uni in London next year because I will have to take public transport everyday...we shall see what happens.

[MG]

i cant decide which is worse, that or standing on the tube with someones sweaty armpit in your face:rubeyes: (even worse when u know they arnt getting off very soon)

[Abu Rago]

I hate it when you're on a train reading a news paper and the person next to you starts reading your paper as well

like dude mind yo bizness

[$HugoBoss$]

I thought you were talking about youtube when i read the title :D

[Rosalie-Beauty]

I thought you were talking about youtube when i read the title :D

so did I. Funny British people and their funny names. :scratch:

[ummbilal]

what the heck is "the tube"? is it some british thing?


lol!!!!!!!!!

the tube= london slang for underground trains, aka subway or Metro!

and yes packed trains are a pain in the butt, but the options are limited, either you bag yourself a seat or find a corner and hide! as the cabs are way too expencive and the bus is just as packed.:(

[afsalim]

You could always try walking.....

[.: Anna :.]

You could always try walking.....

sometimes thats gonna take a long time!
work til home, more than 1 hours walk and if its dark past maghrib then no thanks... u wont feel safe :(

[Alifah]

I also hate the tube...But I have to use it because the traffic is terrible and if you get in a car it'll take you 2 hours to get to the destination...in comparison - 40 min by the tube..

[Mystical-Light]

Once this big old man nearly sat on me on the tube, but luckily i got up as soon as i saw him lowering down...if i was even a second late, i currently would've been a human version of a chappati...:rubeyes: whats up with some of these old people these days? :S..second time in a row aswell...

[Morris]

Theres a very simply way of not having to deal witht he vile tube, don't live in London!

When i visit the capital I am always shocked at how rude people are there. If I am pushed up to close to someone that it is uncomfortably close - I always apologise - and then they give me a rude blank look like I'm doing something out of place.

The 'provincial' way of life is so much more pleasant.:)

why is it whenever a muslims complains about something in the UK or a service , they are told by "british" to bog off home, even if the muslim is brought up in the UK?!

I mean people hav a right to complain about something wherever they live, imagine a white dude saying he hates the govt or schools here and i a muslim say well bog off out of here then, u can imagine the uproar that would cause :

"Muslim Tells BRITISH man to leave the UK"

omg,how could she!

im not singling u out specifically but its the general absurd , ignorant, prejudiced attitude from alot of people, i have noticed.

I understand what you are saying but I think you read me wrong.
There are plenty of places to live in Britain that are'nt London.:rolleyes: I was'nt advising anyone to 'go home' - she should come to Shropshire!

did i not say im not specifically singling u out and talking about the general attitude people have , your post just reminded me of that thats all :rubeyes:

yeh i get what ur saying, some are able to do that, i.e. work in London but live just outside it, but u still have to DRIVE into London and if you havent got a car, u would still end up using Public transport to get in- including the tube itself.!

If it was the London AREA being the problem,then moving out is fine but not if it public transport thats the problem:confused:

[Omar Mukhtar]

Why don't you jus wait for the next train to arrive, one less packed.

[GAL-actic]

I hate the tube and the bus at rush hours. One day I was standing and one guy in front of me was talking to the guy behind me AND I'm not that tall AND could not move (I could only turn around, which did not help, cuz the other stood behind me). So I had to hold my breath the whole trip since they were breathing out in my face. That was so grosssssss!!!!

Another day there was this guy with a huge bagpack and I could not stand straight...really annoying and I felt pain in my legs as soon as I could move.

Hate the tube.. Never been on it. Wouldnt like it if a female family member had to be on one to be honest.. its so cramped.. And especially after dark!

[*Love*]

I like the Tube (The underground) and the Rail Stations as well :)

now i am wondering how muslims will view a muslim girl cycling around on the road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stephenoskie]

I get it all the time on the bus espically the number 8 bus because the drivers are like young and that they wana be speedy speedy. So i get trod on and stamped on my foots and it hurts so much and they dont say sorry :)

Serve you right, next time you might even stand up voluntarily for an old man :p - nothing's wrong with them, you might be in their position 50 years from now, and if people still had any respect left then they might even stand up for you.

Well,yesterday I was on the tube and there were these four Afghani men;the train was packed so I had no choice but to stand where I was standing.When I came in,one of them said very loudly.."[inaudiable]..muslim!"..and then came upto me and said.."La Ilaaha Illa Allah-Bismillah"...and produced a plastic bunch of flowers from his pocket and shoved it in my face:rubeyes:...I was rather taken aback..How strange..

Today I was coming home from uni on the tube, and as per usual the tube was packed out!! I got on, and as im quite short I always get pushed and shoved around!!:embar: No1 really cares who there touching or getting too close to!! As I was standing in the middle next to the poll, trying to hold on for dear life!! a FULL grown man fell on me!! yes fell on me!! I was like:eek:
I know it wasnt his fault and it was an accident, of course he oplogised but I jus felt so uncomfortable:nervous:!! The thought of a non-mahrem touching me!!!:vomit: I usually dont get on the tube when its full, but I was running late and had to get home asap!!

Anyone had any bad experience's on the tube?? does anyone have any alternatives to avoid these kind of situations occuring??

here we have separate sections for women....if a man enter the women section he get fined big time if caught......once i did that but it was an honest mistake.....had to wait until the next stop to get out and sigh in relieve......five minutes....the only man in the women car and they are looking at me and their eyes screaming the question "you are a perv or something?".....the most unpleasant feeling

i dont usually travel on the tube - for me its the bus!!

but we had this summer school thing that we had to travel by tube to get there everyday - for a whole week!!! was soo stuffy everyday!!!

horrible!!!

but even on the buses sometimes (but less times than the tube)- its so hot and stuffy!! i remember last ramadan - it was the first day - i was with my little bro, we got on the bus - it was so stuffy and hot, by the next stop - the bus was very crowded and there wasnt much space. we were standing up. suddelny, this muslim man fainted - he fell onto thes ladies who started screaming, and grabbed on so they wouldnt fall too!!! was not a nice sight!! the man fell to the floor and about 15 seconds later, he got up - but wasn't steady on his feet! Alhamdullilah there were other brothers on the bus to help the brother! but the way the ladies started screaming - :torture:.......... the bus driver didnt even notice!!! :eek: he just carried on driving until the brothers shouted at him telling him to stop!!!

i remember wen one of my friends turned 16 couple of months ago, she was so happy about getting the provisional lisence and forgot about everything else....she went to the library and found that she had a biig fine coz of her overdue books! - so u better be careful - (i think she had to pay about £25 fine for the books - boy, was she angry)!!!

u - good driver - more like by the time ur 17 - you'll be a dangerous driver :rolleyes: :D

(hate to admit this - but yes, usually it takes boys very few lessons....my brother told me his friend took only 14 and passed the first time!! (but then they become maniacs on the road!!:D:rolleyes:)

S'ok, I've figured it out, being a Londoner, and understandably supremacist, I was assuming there only is one number 8 or 9 in the country :p

Whereas you are in fact talking about Brummie town :D

Sallams,

The bus is really disgusting, today I was on the 25 bus coming home with my cousin sister. She was telling me on the bus that couple of pervs(quite old 30-40 year olds) at looking up and down other girls on the bus. She felt very uncomfortable cause a man was staring at her every second. When i looked at the man, he stopped looking at my sis.

The tube is really worse in London during rush hours.

hehe you haven't seen the subway in New York. People have their noses pressed against the door window lol.

You have to show the ticket on the tube? Over here we swipe the MetroCard which allows the turnstile to rotate, so we can get on the train platform. No ticket checkers on busy train stations..thats impossible...

[.: Anna :.]

we have oyster its like new york metrocard but made of creditcard/plasticish type material and it records when it has been swiped, so the checker people can come and say ticket please, and u have 2 show ur oyster.. they put into their machine and if it doesnt come up that u swiped it in or have weekly, monthly travelcard whatever, u will get fined.

[MuHiTH]

they mostly come on the buses and DLR, Silverlink and overground services to check if you got a valid ticket or not

yer thing is the thut of getin my ticket inspected never crossed ma mind cos in 7-8 yrs ive been usin da tube never seen a tiket inspector on the picadilly district northern victoria lines and i wuda never got caught if da inspector came on 1 stop later i was getin off at cally road zone 2 nd inspector came on at kings cross and cos i dint have a zone one tiket but passed thru zone one they fined me and i dont use oyster cos tht charges me for zone 1.. paper tiket wnt detect it

[shez]

to people saying you will get used to it especially to muslim women.. thats not the right attitude.. you should be late as much as you can to avoid touching non-mahram obeying Allah should come before anything else..
