How stupid can you be?

Scene:

Pittsburg/Baypoint train just started leaving the station. I was first in line to get onto the next train. I was reading and listening to my iPod.

The train slowed down and then stopped. It was about one-quarter of the way in the tunnel.

A lady came out of no where and stood next to me. I kept reading. She then got right next to the train and stood there. I was eyeballing her from the side. She reached over, knocked on the door and looked in the direction of the front of the train (if you could even see it -- again, it was in the tunnel). She continued knocking on the door. I continued eyeballing her.

Did she really think the train operator would open the doors at this point (if he knew she was knocking on the door...)? What was wrong with this lady?? Not to mention if the train jerked forward as she was knocking...the gap isn't that wide, but it's wide enough.

The train slowly moved forward. She stood there and stared at the train in disbelief. How dare you, you train, not open your doors for me!

I am special!!!

She walked away to go wreak havoc somewhere else.
