Subway and Public Transportation Etiquette - The People We Encounter

I can't believe the occasional woman who removes her shoes and walks on the platform. Saw this last night

if your shoes are that uncomfortable, you're a ****** planner for not packing some flats, and if your shoes are that uncomfortable, odds are you have a blister that is now being infected with subway rabies.

Yes! Or. They... significantly... slow... down...... because some people are utterly incapable of walking and checking their phones at the same time.

19. The In Before Outers.: These are the people who are on the platform when the train pulls in and when the doors open they try to board w/out first letting people off. It's common sense to know that you can't occupy a space that is already occupied. Also happens in elevators. (Provided to us by Salad)

I deal with these folks everyday. My home subway is in Chinatown. Chinese women, young or old, but typically middle age and above, have no concept of people needing to exit the train. I gotten so sick of it that I'll just walk into them when getting off the train, forcing them to move aside.
And I feel better after I do it.
Amazing thread.

Nothing feels better than walking straight into mainland garbage who try to push into the train as you get out transferring from hung hom to east TST or vice versa

You've gotta have some standards, man.

I'm just trying to triangulate my way to an understanding of Eason. His "Bicurious racist" tag has long intrigued me, and this new data point (should he confirm) adds to the body of evidence.

Hey, who says I'm not? Anytime you're in Hong Kong...

This past 4th of July marked the 26th anniversary of the first time I heard a young mother call her young children "motherfuckers."

It was 1986 and NYC was awash in celebration. The Statue of Liberty was celebrating its 100th birthday with a spectacular fire works display in NY Harbor. My father took me down to Battery Park to see the show. The air hung thick with Reagan-era patriotism.

As we got on the subway back home, a woman and her three young children were getting on board. They weren't moving fast enough so she said, "you motherfuckers best move your ass onto this train."

I was 11. And this was my first introduction to the people we encounter on the subway.

Thanks for the memories MTA.

I had 2 miserable experiences myself being drunk on the subway. The most recent I only remember vomiting in the subway car in front of a young couple and then proceeding to vomit some more as I transferred to a different line. In fact, I could barely climb up the steps at that station since I was so drunk.

This has always been a fear of mine. Vomiting on the subway. I have trained myself that if I become that drunk to call a cab and vomit in the cab.

I did this once. Gaziano & Girlings. Most uncomfortable shoes I own, probably second most expensive too.
