The phenomenon whereby the journey of a whole group is spoiled by the thoughtlessness of one individual.
Behaviours include but are not limited to - excessive and indiscriminate MP3 player use. Standing in a carriage doorway and not stepping off or moving aside. Barging onto a carriage as others are exiting. Stopping dead at the bottom of an escalator. Carrying extraordinary amounts of luggage in peak periods. Travelling in huge rustling packs, their vile neon coloured cagoules shedding static like a thunderstorm. Throwing themselves in front of trains in peak time. Bastards the lot of them.

Oscillation of the hand from the wrist with minimal input from the elbow or shoulder. Popularised by the British Royal Family.
Often to be seen from the back of landaus and throught the glass of armoured limousines as royals waft past.
Unpopular with American presidents who seem to prefer a more grandstanding straight up from the shoulder type vigorous waggling of the whole arm. But then, they only have to do it for 8 years, not a lifetime.
