The Glut

The Glut - A term used to describe a group of people that suddenly descend on the nice, quiet platform that you are currently waiting on.

We've all been there, arriving at a platform during rush hour and finding it somewhat tolerable. Your eyes dart to the arrivals board and there are only two minutes to go. A few people dribble in to join you but everything looks fine. One minute to go. You look to your right and suddenly a horde is descending upon you. People come and stand directly in front of you, positioning themselves to get in the train before everyone else. The Glut has arrived.

You feel the gentle wind pick up preceding the arrival of the train and a second Glut arrives. All hope is gone.
