When you really, really want to catch a train, the last thing you want to see are the doors closing right in front of your face as you run towards them. “If only I could somehow get the doors open,” you think. And if you’re being totally honest, you’ve also wondered about the effectiveness of hurling your bag or satchel in between the doors to prevent them from closing. Comedian Omid Singh thought that would be a great idea, and here he is explaining to people why maybe you shouldn’t do that.
