18 commuter struggles Londoners will understand, as told by 'Game of Thrones'

This year's 'Game of Thrones' season finale was full of major WTF moments – and if you're a fan of the show, you'll know that life in the Seven Kingdoms can be as hellish as London's transport network. Jon Snow almost being crushed to death during the Battle of the Bastards? Yeah, that's basically evening rush hour on the Piccadilly line. But even if you don't watch it, you'll know that the tube is 'dark and full of terrors'… and some serious struggles. Here are 18 you'll probably understand, GOT-style:
 

1. The queue to enter Oxford Circus tube station during rush hour. You'll be like: DRACARYS!
