Let's face it, chances are you have come across these types of strap-hangers on your New York City commute. Check out the list below and bask in the realization of just how irritating they are to us all.
1. Those performers who perform when no one wants them to
Please Mr. Dignified pole dancer, I do not need your body in my face this morning. It is way too early for that (even during the 5 pm rush hour home, still too early).
2. Those people who take a seat when they're getting off at the next stop
I have had to stand on trains for 45-minute commutes, there is absolutely no way you are pushing me to sit for one stop, lady.
3. Those bigger men & women who squish themselves in between others for the middle seat
Why torture us all?
4. Those people who are always caught staring at you
There are ads in the train for a reason. Utilize and spare us all the awkward meeting of eyes.
5. Those who completely block the door and won't budge
I get it, it's prime standing real estate within the train but if there is a vacancy in the middle, please move. You're being a fire hazard and quite frankly, an ass.
6. Those who rush to exit
First, you rush to get on and then you rush to get off. Make up your mind!
7. Those who are obnoxious in an already obnoxious atmosphere
Why? Just why? I hate to say it but when your attitude is that way it's probably what's lending its hand to our increasing subway crime rates.
8. Those who occupy two seats
Your fare did not pay for two seats, in fact, it didn't even pay for one. So count your blessings and stick to one if you have struck luck.
9. Those who litter
Why?! Talk about Broken Windows Theory! We get it, trains in NYC are not known for being clean enough to eat off the floor but that does not mean you add to the problem. Plus, you're only fattening the rats with your food rubbish left behind.
10. Those who lean on you as the train sways
You are a grown being, hold your weight!! I do not want stranger cooties on me to be honest.
11. Those with their bicycles on the train
Not judging you but why the transportation inception of a bike on the subway, please?!
