The D.C. Metro understands your pain. Which is why they used this apparently relatable scenario on a poster for their Metro Forward campaign, prominently displayed at the Washington D.C. Metro Center subway station. Journalism student Lucy Westcott spotted the image on her daily commute:

We might have more to say about this if we weren't so busy deciding between heels and flats.
