Watch NYers’ Hearts Break As They JUST Miss The Subway Train

http://gothamist.com/2016/06/21/never_stop_for_coffee_on_the_way.php

There is no quintessential NYC experience quite like running down a subway station platform with your arms flapping all about like a distressed penguin, making eye contact with the conductor, and then hesitantly stretching out your hand to try to slip between the doors before they close. For every time they re-open, they’re just as likely to slam shut in your face, leaving you gazing at your own disconsolate reflection in the greasy window as the train rolls away forever.
