Presumably he DID have to wait more than just a few seconds. He had to at least retrieve his shoe!
I wonder though whether the train had to come to halt, to deal with any aftermath. I bet there is some regulation somewhere that demands it, even in a case like this where injury was avoided. I bet quite a lot of people were inconvenienced, hopefully including this donkey's rear that thinks two seconds of his time is more valuable than everybody else's commute, and thinks he is so studly that he doesn't have to worry about the tons of metal hurtling unwavering towards him.
I think everyone on that train should have gotten off, and, one by one, come up and slapped him. With his shoe, that is.
