I would kill somebody. Seriously. Dead. I don't like people even bumping into me. How in the hell do they get off the train if they are in the middle? Is this a joke? I thought everything on this here Internet was true?

Not a joke. From wikipedia: "Oshiya, or "pusher", is an informal Japanese term for a worker who stands on the platform of a railway station during the morning and evening rush hours, and pushes people onto the train. When oshiyas were first brought in at Shinjuku station, they were called "passenger arrangement staff", and were largely made up of students working part-time. The job of oshiya is sometimes done by station staff, and sometimes by part-time workers. In many cases, oshiyas stand on the platform of the station by the tracks, guiding the passengers and performing safety checks. On lines such as the Keiō Inokashira Line, where passengers tend to gather in certain carriages, which can become as crowded as during the rush hour, station staff work to redistribute them, while also acting as oshiyas."
