It's fake, but in my opinion that makes it genius.

 

 

I found myself in that situation once. And I succeeded in boarding. I was well proud, bollocks if I was going to wait another hour for the next train.

 

For some reason on the journey home all I kept thinking was how I felt like Nicholas Cage, yet I don't recall seeing him doing anything similar.

Since I always leave last-minute, I find myself in that situation on numerous occasions :rolleyes:. Except, I never actually crash into closing doors. I either jump in, or I give up.

Once I stepped out of the car the moment the whistle blew. The door on the train was still open, and it was like time slowed down. I pondered for only a moment whether to attempt to get on, and the next moment I was running at the door. I literally jumped in before the doors closed, and during the ride I felt like an action hero.

Surely that's not a fail Danny! If anything it's a win :laughing:

Strange that ye're train doors don't close before leaving :confused:

 

Today I did the ol' push on a pull door thing...then I pulled and I nearly hit into the door again. Turns out it had a sign saying "Please use other Door. Thank you"

 

GAWWD! Double Fail :/

Oh, no, not a fail, just in response to the talk about train doors. :)

 

But I think you've misunderstood it. The whistle blows, the doors close, THEN the train leaves. So there was no running alongside the train or anything, I'm afraid. I simply jumped in just before the doors closed.

And then there was my personal fail, not on a train, but on the subway/metro/tube/whatever.

 

I see that the metro is about to leave, I run towards it, the doors are already closing. I try to use my umbrella to stop the door from closing, the sensors should notice the obstructing object...

They didn't. My umbrella becomes stuck on the door and off it goes, along with the metro...

I found the umbrella in the next station, decapitated by that door. Must've been an odd sight, seeing the metro appear with an umbrella stuck on the door.

I hate unnecessary endangerment of oneself and/or others, so I would never run to get through closing doors.

 

ALSO I hate people who stand past the yellow line on train tracks.

It's my life goal to go into a shopping centre as the shops are closing and slide under the shutter doors, Indiana Jones style, then just look at the bewildered person closing the door and say "In before the lock".
