There are certain rules that apply when traveling on the NY Subway. Unfortunately, they never EVER get enforced or followed.- Let the passengers get off BEFORE you try to get on the train. This is apparently a really hard concept for most to follow. Instead, people try to jam their way in and you are forced to barrel your way out of the car.
- Let little old ladies and pregnant woman have a seat. Yes, That means you Mr. in your 30's business man -> You will have to ACTUALLY stand for the 5 minute train ride.
- Wait your turn getting on the train. When you see that familiar headlight coming your way, that is not your cue to move to the head of the line and get on first.
- Any bag bigger than a Chihuahua should be at your feet. The giant bag you use for backpacking across Europe takes up space and is the reason my face is plastered into the armpit of the guy next to me. Please take it off.
-Rapping/Singing not necessary. It's not karaoke time and I really don't want to hear you wax lyrical.
-Ipod volume. If I hear Alicia Key's "No one” one more time on the subway, I'll jump on the third rail. I know it's hard to hear your music on the loud subway but keep it down a bit. Trust me-> your ears will thank me in 10 years.
-Getting up in a super crowed train before your stop. "Next Stop - 42nd street. Transfer is available to the 1, 2, A, C, E, Port Authority...." As soon as you hear this - You think, "WOW - I better plow my way through 100 people to get near the door." How about this... I'll move out the way when the train stops and I have more room to get around.
Walking through the subway station is another issue but as I said before that is a post for another day.

You know this is similar to the way people act in cashier lines, restaurants, driving on the highway. People, where's the humanity!?
Bro
All excellent points here...
Something that drives me nuts is -
when people try and mount the poll like they are a stripper. Leave room for others to hold on people!
