Not as bad as that but still embarrasing.
I live in Sydney and last month I went to Melbourne for a few days. On my last day I took a train to a suburb with an embroidery shop. The train came into the station. I stood at the door waiting. The train went out of the station. The Melbourne residents (looking at me as if I'm an idiot when I wailed that the doors didn't open) then told me you have to open the door yourself. It never occured to me to open the door. Here in Sydney you're not allowed to open train doors - they open automatically.
