11 Types of Subway Riders We Know!

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 don't want stranger cooties on me tbh.

11. Those with their bicycles on the train.

Not judging you but why the transportation inception of a bike on the subway, please?!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
