Hurry up
Hot 1 |
The subway safety check now upgrades to be much stricter. When I arrived at the station, there was a long line of people waiting for going through the checkpoint. Consciously, I joined the line and thanked the due time that I came in the early morning.
When I was approaching to the checkpoint, a rushed woman who did not wait in line failed her attempt to dash through it.
“Please, let me go, I am catching the train.”
“Sorry, everyone waits in order, please obey the rule.”
“You see, I only have a handbag. What if I open it and let you have a look at it?”
“Sorry again, it is the rule. Only those who do not carry anything could go through it without checking. And I cannot make an exception for you.”
Apparently, there was no room for mediating, she tried again to go through it, however, was stopped by the security. She was murmuring something I could not hear clearly, but surely they were bad words from the anger in her reddened face.
It was at rush hour, the queue became longer. She could do nothing but look for the tail of the line.

- Everywhere there is security procedures. It is particularly annoying on overseas airline flights. On flight departure at my airport, I have to go through screening, X-Ray of baggage and a repeat check physical check with shoes off before boarding. On arrival at destination, there is again another baggage check. Sometimes, I wonder if these checks are useful because it seems not too difficult to bypass those security checks. Sometime ago, a child without a ticket managed to board a flight without anyone noticing him. However, those checks are for our safety, so I guess we all have to patiently go through them.

- Now go to the station a little bit earlier than before so I won't miss the time and do not have to be so hurried to catch the subway.

Such a checkpoint is seemingly not so useful. Actually, it does help people from being meeting something harmful and urgent.
As long as we follow it, and then get used to it, then we form a good habit of waiting for trains, buses, and any transportation.
