A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Had a laugh picturing this. You have to use a call to action to get people to help you get through. Get them to look at you and then look the way you're going, and start tapping shoulders to help you through. "Coming through" "make a hole" "help me through please." As you catch people's attention, nod and gesture to direct their attention forward. It's like surfing. You'll catch waves. Helps to be male with a sobering voice I think.

The closer to the front I got the less people were will to budge. I remember one guy saying "I don't think there's any room up there for you," and I had to point to my family and be like "no dude, they're right there waiting for me" lol.
