Dark Passenger

The Dark Passenger is a concept that represents the demon inside that makes us do terrible things.

“I just know there's something dark in me. I hide it. I certainly don't talk about it. But it's there. Always. This ‘Dark Passenger.’ And when he's driving, I feel...alive. Half sick with the thrill of complete wrongness. I don't fight him. I don't want to.” Dexter

Psychiatrist Carl Jung describes those aspects of the personality that we choose to reject and repress as the Shadow. He saw the psyche as something that could be divided into component parts which function like secondary selves that contribute to the whole. “No one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real.”

Have you ever said or done something really shitty, mostly on an impulse, that you later regretted? In this moment the lack of control you had betrays the existence of a different person lurking beneath.

The Dark Passenger can also refer to an addiction, such as for a drug, and other distinctive dark desires. If you give in, you're no longer driving behind your own actions, and your darker self does whatever it wants until you're left with only wreckage and aftermath.

Idiot Passenger Syndrome

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.

Sufferers of IPS can be encountered on any mass transit system but the London Underground (see Hell) is particularly prone to the depradations of IPS sufferers.
"...and then this complete Idiot Passenger Syndrome got on and stood right in the doorway for two stops. I think he was listening to Craig David. What a wanker. I had to hit him in the balls with my bag just to make him move out of the way."
