Question for you who knows English better than I do.

Do not lean against the doors.

Do yoy use same expression in eg UK and US?

Haven't been on a city train, bus, subway, etc in a while but I want to say they at least used to here in Canada.

@publiclewdness @hehemrin Looks like both "on" and "against" should work:

If you lean on or against someone or something, you rest against them so that they partly support your weight.

Of course "to lean on somebody" has a different meaning:

@kallekn @publiclewdness Thanks, yes appears to be acceptable and used not only in Stockholm.
