Utter fuckwit passenger at Sloterdijk Metro. He walks through the gate from the lift, pushing his bike. Then stops in the middle of the gate to read the signs. I ask him to keep moving so I can go through the gate, and he gives me a torrent of swear words. Fuckwit.
@quixoticgeek For trips to Amsterdam, which is plagued by slow-moving pedestrians, I memorised the Dutch translation of the phrase "feel free to come to a complete halt unexpectedly in this narrow high-traffic area" so that I could shout it at the pedestrians concerned.
I learnt two things:
1. The pedestrians coming to a complete stop in narrow high-traffic areas were most often from the USA and didn't understand Dutch;
2. The first two words of the phrase, "U kunt", were perfectly sufficient.

Oof. I'm meeting more and more of this kind of aggressive man the last few years.
Recently, one even threw a drink in a paper cup at me after the swearing. Luckily he missed me, but it hit something behind me very hard judging on the sound.
