I was at MKC one evening last week, standing at platform 4. ATOS Anne had just announced that a train would be passing through, blah blah blah.
Stood facing the up direction, I spotted a Pendo approaching in the down direction. I also noticed a man (in a suit, probably a commuter there everyday) standing right on the platform edge (feet on the white painted area, back to the tracks) talking to someone standing just on the yellow line.
He was there, didn't move after the announcement. As the Pendo approached, the driver used the whistle. Again, this man didn't move, completely oblivious to everything around him.
I decided to shout "stand back" (thinking back, I should've probably said stand forward!!) The man moved and then looked at me like I was an idiot whilst the train was passing.
Perhaps he does this everyday, but I didn't like the idea of him being pulled onto the track or being caught by the train catching his suit.
There are probably countless other examples, so why do people leave their head at home when they enter a station?
