"Excuse me?" Did you mean "MOVE?"

It's Friday, which means I have endured another week of morning and evening rush hour commutes with people seemingly pushing you on purpose because clearly where they need to go is more important than where you need to go AND it is much more important for them to reach their destination first. I wonder what would happen to these such people if they were forcibly slowed down??? What if I had a button that would make everyone go remarkably slow but they would feel how slow they were going and still exist in their "fast" mindset??? Would this drive people to the brink of insanity???? I think so! I truly don't understand it. I mean I literally saw someone get on the train today and have the nerve to say "excuse me" to the person that they were pushing out of the way. Is it really necessary for you to say "excuse me?" Clearly the more accurate word for what you want is "move", so if you are bold enough to be pushing someone out of your way why fake kindness and say "excuse me?" Say what you mean, at least this way people will know your a big fat JERK!
Maybe I have become unaccustomed to this rude behavior and maybe sometime in the near future I will be doing the same thing, as I will have assimilated into "commuter mode," but I surely hope not!
