Bad choice of music for rushing down the stairs at Bounds Green tube...

... the escalator being hors de combat and me being late due to an, er, alarm clock programming mishap...

That would be Shostakovitch Symphony no 10, second movement. By the time I reached platform level I was not only moving at approximately double the safe speed for a gentleman of my years and build hem hem, but also ready to start a punch-up.

Memo to self: on safety grounds stick to first movements of early Haydn quartets for the next such descent, and amble down beaming. You know it makes sense.
