Pavlovian aversion training {:-). My example is commuting on the urban
trains with people who don't let you off the carriage before they start
barging on. It is marvellous how quickly they learn to "give that
arsehole room" when you barge out the door and just slam straight
through their solid wall a few days in a row. Of course, I always loudly
say excuse me {:-).
Leaving the other London in '99 we had gone by train to Gatwick. When
the train stopped I tried to make my exit carrying a large suitcase
and pulling a heavier one. Meanwhile a "football coach" type was
trying to get his entire team onto the carriage to sit in a group. The
momentum of two suitcases propelled by a 200++pound man directly
between his knees persuaded him to use a little more patience.
