David reports some dude squeezed in behind him as he was going through a fare gate:
... I hate it when that happens because it makes me feel somehow complicit in the fare-beating, or even that the fare beater has somehow stolen the fare directly from me. ...

I've never been gate surfed

I've never been gate surfed like that, but I've tried to imagine how I would respond. One scenario has me turning around once inside the gate and snarling "Hey, don't do that!" to the freeloader. 'Cause, you know, it's not just the monetary thing -- they've physically gotten into your space. Startling, and very damn rude.
My other imagined reaction would be, immediately upon realizing that someone is literally on my tail, to just stop, and let them trip all over themselves trying to avoid a collision. I'd probably laugh out loud.
On the third hand, I might just fume and walk away.
If I had a third hand...

I would have slugged the guy with it.
