Your Mission

If you are the first person to leave a crowded subway train, your mission (even if you choose NOT to accept it) is to move your legs as quickly as possible to the nearest exit.

Similarly, when you are the first to approach the stairs that will get you out into the real world again, you must be ready to haul ass. When you do not adhere to this fundamental rule, you don't see it, but a few hundred people behind you die a little. You may have shaved off a few minutes of each of their lives, due to the extra strain you put on their near-exploding brains.

If you are not prepared for this task, then step down and let someone else lead the crowd. You are obviously not in a hurry anyway.

However, if you ARE prepared for this task, do it with pride. Take those stairs two at a time. Roller-skate through the subway tunnels if you feel like it. A warning, though- even if you are the fastest stair-skipper in all the land, it is NOT OKAY to block the entire stairwell. Keep to the right, idiot.

Thanks.
