The Progress Preventer: The monster who won’t move to the middle of the train to make space for others. You’re in energy-saving mode, and we get it! But how about shuffling back just a little to make space for others to hop on? You’re doing great—just a tiny move can go a long way. Let’s all ride with kindness!
