Ways to annoy me on the subway

teresasaurusrex:

- Be on the subway.

- Hold onto the pole with the sleeve of your jacket as a germ-buffer like some weirdo who hasn’t heard of hand sanitizer. You look like a goddamn baby. You are in NYC and you’re afraid of germs? Just leave. Leave the island right now.

- Be a child who won’t stop staring at me.

- Be someone who doesn’t give up their seat to an old person.

- Rap/sing out loud.

- Panhandle.

- Bring your bicycle on the train and take up way too much space.

- Talk to me.

- Look at me.

may I also add:

  • standing next to me while I’m sitting at the end and having your ass on my arm or your bag in my face
  • if you’re a guy, standing in front of me so I have to stare at the floor in order to avoid direct contact with your crotch
  • people who don’t give up their seats to preggos (screw the old hags, they can stand)
  • staring at me like I have a booger
  • sneaking a peek at your neighbor’s iPod, iPad, book, Nook or whatever techie device they’re on
  • eating something gross that stinks up the subway car
  • taking up more room than necessary in your seat
  • sitting next to me in a spot that you clearly won’t fit but budge your ass into

this is what I write about now.
