The train is pulling into the station, and you're closest to the door button. But you can feel the eyes of the other passengers on you, questioning if you can handle the pressure. Fear not, for you can show them they're wrong with these steps:

Establish dominance

You're in charge, but the crowd might doubt your abilities. Silence any challengers by confidently hovering your hand over the button, daring anyone to challenge your authority.

Demonstrate prowess

As the train slows, perform a few trial presses to show off your knowledge of the door-opening process. The crowd will know any delays aren’t your fault.

Flaunt impatience

Let everyone know you're just as eager to get off as they are. Mutter curses at the button, and maybe even accept a handkerchief from a kind soul to wipe your brow.

Seize the moment

When the button lights up, press it with flair. Use a smooth finger or a cool backhanded swipe. If the door doesn’t open immediately, press again for dramatic effect.

Lead the way

Your mission isn't over once the door is open. Lead the way to freedom, ignoring other button-pushers. After all, it's not a race!
