Annoying Things People Do on the Subway..



I live in NYC and obviously rely on the subway for everything. The subway is a weird ass world in itself. You are constantly in such close proximity to strangers, and have a ton of physical interactions with people you don't know. Cutting straight to the point, there are so many things that take place on the subway that are super awkward & I strongly disapprove of. One thing that I'm sure every rider experiences is that awkward moment when yourself and another rider grab for the same spot on the pole, and touch hands. My first thoughts are damn, where the fuck have your hands even been? Then you guys share an awkward look & probably throw mental shade to one another. "Who does this bitch thinks she is trying to reach for my spot on the pole??" "I run this pole nigga!!!" Um no boo, they call it public transportation for a reason. 

Then there's the "oops I lost my balance and just fell over cause the train made a mad sudden move" incident. I'm going to go ahead and take the side of the person who has fallen, because I stay being that person. I remember one of the last times I was the victim of a sudden train jerk, I mistakenly fell on a woman next to me. Excuse me let me rephrase that.. I fell on some dumb bitch next to me. As soon as I fell on her, which wasn't even with any great force, I turned to apologize and the bitch gave me a look like I had just personally massacred each and every one of her family members & left her an apology note with a smiley face at the end. Like really ho?? ugh some people just need to take a seat permanently.

I'm going to cut this post short and just add one more issue I have with fellow riders on our fine subways. I like to position myself in a spot on the train where I know I can easily get off a.k.a. facing next to the door but out of the way of incoming riders. I hate when someone comes in and sneaks behind me and takes my spot!! I'm expecting to be able to lean back and feel the door and instead I feel some asshole behind me looking all content because she/he knows he's gonna be the 1st one off the train. GO TO HELL!!! Oh and P.S.... last time I checked the poles were for everyone so STOP HOGGING THE POLES a.k.a. leaning your entire body against it so no one can have access to it!! Smooches.

  1. Soundtracks on the train. Buy some headphones. NO ONE wants to hear your music.
