It's a selfish cocky teen thing, easily dealt with if every bus had one of these fellows with the power to do something about it.
Dominate him, kid.

Hmmm, this could work. But, for those really annoying-to-the-point-of-justifiable-homicide commuters (such as the Plymouth to Glasgow ringtone-playing twat I mentioned earlier) I recommend this:

When you have been pushed doorwards by the teeming throng on the platform behind you there's nothing better than to be assaulted by some supercillious cunt trying to assert their right of way while exiting the train.
Obviously if someone actually passes you and gets on the train before you get off, they deserve a kicking, but by then it's a bit hard to make it look accidentally.

Straight up if you lead with the elbow at head height when coming off of the tube people know what's happening (I've not had anyone try and argue with it yet - even at Victoria in morning peak). Strike the pose before the doors open and the people at the front know you are coming off first, like the announcer on the platform has said as you should "let the people off first".
The only time I have physically had to eject someone from a tube was when at Clapham North this chap didn't take the hint that I was getting off (I asked him nicely three times and showed good manners). He ended up on the platform - I got off the tube. I miss commuting in Zone 1 (it's like the ultimate opportunity to release verbally on someone your never likely to see again - happy days).

I got into a shouting match with one kid at Stockwell one morning about playing crappy music on a phone. I basically told him to turn it off, or get off the bus.
He gave me a load of verbal, sat down and folded his arms, then proceeded to glare at me still playing the music loudly for another four stops.
At that point, he realised that he was now 3 stops past where he was supposed to have got off to go to school, and then ran down the stairs to get off the bus, coming back up to realise he'd left his bag behind.
I couldn't help but chuckle over his 'rebelliousness'.

I am not talking about a teeming throng - I get off at Kilburn on a southbound train coming home. There are about 3 or 4 people max waiting and they barge on without waiting for you to get off. It's not even as if you need to fight for a seat.
This never really bothered me until I was pregnant. Trying to climb over peoples legs to get to a seat, whilst heavily pregnant, used to make me want to smack them right in the mouth.
The worst incident was when I got onto a really packed train during my last week at work before I went on maternity leave. I couldn't get anywhere near the seats so had to stand by the doors. Some fucker two stops later tries to get on the train, even though there was no more room, and tells me to squash in so he can get on. Doesn't matter that I'm clearly 9 months pregnant, his reply to me was "well, we're all a bit squashed love"
a/s/l? i think we'll get on well.

Hmmm, methinks you may be right, good Sir.
Maybe an ejector seat would be a better option?

I am so doubting that "theCIA's" female (and "he" isn't - christ does that mean I give off the female vibe - my day gets better)....... and even if it were the case it wouldn't surprise me I'm just on a random getting hit on streak by various people that I work with/know. It would be funny if I wasn't so dull and such a workoholic. I need to get out more.
Oh and "J" in e-mails anyone?

Told you I was dull/uncool but on the flip the random potential hit streak continues unless it's a euphemism for something or has unfortunate connotations. Or on the random flip it's an I know you don't and I'm still not bothered about using it in e-mails to demonstrate the point that I'm cool moment - or it could mean something else entirely.
Either way the best swearing I have ever witnessed on the tube was the Victoria Line southbound platform at Victoria one morning in AM peak.
There was a mum dragging a kid behind her and the kid was carrying what look like a large instrument case behind her. The kid turns the instrument case sideways and perpendicular to the flow of commuters that were going the wrong way up the platform due to the crush on the northbound platform. The kid effectively is now taking up the full width of the platform and plowing a field through the commuters with the mother unaware.
A woman going the other way almost gets pushed off the platform and snaps at the mother and unleashed the most coherent and to the point bout of swearing I've ever heard in a 30 second spell. It was just unintentionally funny to hear the prim and proper looking lady let rip with the most graphic swearing episode I've ever witnessed. Fond memories.
