The Unwritten Rules

The Ten Commandments

1. Thou shalt not use any other mode of transport other than the sardine tin.
2. Thou shalt allow all who be smaller in stature than thou to find comfort in placing their face in thine armpit. Thou shalt do the same for those of a larger stature than thou.
3. Thou shalt strictly not adhere to the rules affixed everywhere. Thou shalt not allow those alighting to take the upper hand. Thou shalt send them back into the recess where they belong.
4. Though shalt stand near the door for as long as possible as the sardine tin coasts toward its next halt. Though shall make the task of boarding as difficult as possible for everyone else.Similarly thou shal start pushing to exit the tin much before it has stopped, providing a rish of adrenaline to those near the door, enough to last them the whole day.
5. Though shall make use of the nearest shoulder as a hand rest or pillow as the situation may demand. If though be unable to pass through the portal to a free massage, though shall perch thineself upon the roof and avail of the blow drying session with your cronies.
6. Though shall try and force thin way into the first sardine tin that comes you way, treating it as if it were to be the last one available.
7. Though shalt never discuss the faults of the fish who run the sardine tin and its bones whilst within the tin. Once outside, though art free to say as though pleases. Though shall never speak blasphemies about these concerned people.
8. Though shall give up thine seat to the nearest female entity and then look at her as if she’s something straight out of your wildest dreams.
9. Though shall move with the rest of the sardines as they swim towards their destinations even if where they are going is not where you want to. Never oppose the flow.
10. Though shall scream and tear someone’s hair out over the most trivial of issues. To vent your frustration after a hard day at work, a travelling students backpack makes for a good punching bad. As does all the stuff that the person in front of you is carrying.
