Subway Etiquette

After surveying people about their pet-peeves on the subway system, artist jayshells took it upon himself to create these posters on behalf of the MTA. He hung 400 in stations all over NYC, so we’ll see if they have any effect. posted on April 20, 2010 at 4:54pm EDT

      The giving up the seat etiquette can be tricky. What if she’s just middle-aged and overweight? She’s going to be offended if I imply she’s old and pregnant by offering her my seat.

      Please bring some of these to the D.C. Metro. And make one that says, “Safety: If you are driving the train, please don’t derail it.” At least I’ve never seen anyone clipping their nails on Metro, for what that’s worth.

      It’s amazing to me that we actually would have to tell people not to clip their toenails on a train. But then, we shouldn’t have to have a “hot” warning label on coffee either. *shrug* And our politics make just about as much sense. LOL I guess you can’t gain weight by eating a McRib. There’s no meat in it LOL I’ll notice that Fox and ABC have no problem airing tampon ads. nikflorida.org. Where we don’t tell you WHAT to think, just to think.
