Oops, my phone' s ringing but at wrong time

I am writing this post just to express my apology to my fellow passengers today because i was not bold enough to speak to them and apologise.

I was in my Eastbound Central line travelling to work. Normally, the tube enters tunnel about 10 minutes after i board from my station(so no mobiles work after 10 mins) but this time due to signal failures there were some delay. And guess what...my phone rang! Now i was wearing a tight fit trouser and my phone was in my right pocket of my trouser. First, i just tried in a very polite and descent manner to reach for my phone and take it out. But my tight trouser didn't even allow the tips of my finger to get into the pocket. Next, i just moved a bit forward and tried, no good. I tried straightening my legs causing a bit of discomfort to fellows sitting on opposite seats but still no joy!! And all this was happening very fast because my phone would go into voice mail after 8 rings. Finally i had to stand up in that crowded carriage, making all other standing and sitting around me a bit annoyed. I just made a sorry face and took the call.

That wasn't enough. The summer is really gearing up and i forgot to remove my coat before entering the train. Now, this was another mess. I went through all the steps mentioned above and finally stood up again with a sad face and removed my jacket. But wait, my tissues were in left pocket of my trouser and i forgot to take that out while removing jacket. My nose started running(really at the wrong time!) and i had to stand again.

I just wish i had organised myself better before boarding. I am sure this is a common thing that could be happening to many passenger on the tube. If we do our bit, the tube travel could become a more comfortable experience for everyone. Cheers....
