Excuse me, can you please let me through?

This morning i was standing at the Greenford station, waiting for my East Bound Central line to Oxford Circus station. As always, i didn't have any hopes to get a seat so as the train was approaching the station, i started to prepare myself.As i got in the carriage, although it was crowded, fortunately or unfortunately(as explained below) someone just got up and i sat down on his seat. While i was seating, i noticed something interesting.

A girl with relatively long legs(of course partially covered, its summer!), was sitting crossed legged. And her legs were practically blocking the whole passage for those who wanted to move through the carriage. Every time someone wanted to pass through, he/she would have to stop before her legs and say "Excuse me, can you please let me through", The only thing ran through my mind was, well young lady, are you sure you have just bought a ticket and not the train? Why can't you just sit like all of us. May be she always goes around in Limo and that would be a bit too much of discomfort but Oxford Circus(where she eventually got down) was just 25 minutes away and she can definitely do this bit of favour.

More over, while seated, the tip if her toe(in cross legged position) was almost touching the knee of a very nice descent gentleman seating in front of her. I am not sure why he never mind it, may be it was a privilege or may be it was an implied obligation(for she being a woman). This also reminded me the great heritage of "The English Gentleman" who can go to this lengths.

In the tube, they advertise things like please don't eat smelly foods, please don't put your feet on seats or please don't carry huge luggage in peak hours but may be this is also something we need to take address.

So the moral of this post is, can we all be a little more considerate to others please?
