Subway Do's And Don'ts

[Furtherman]

<strong>DO:</strong> Keep playin' that hoe-down fiddle music! Much better than the usual 1980's beat box breakdancing routine.<br /><br /><strong>DON'T:</strong> Do your stupid meditating prayer motions and chants! <br /><br />This morning this guy puts his head down, arms outstretched on his legs, palms up and starts muttering while a nice big backpack sits between his legs.<br /><br />I'm sitting right across from him wanting to kick him in the face. I should have kicked him in the face.<br /><br />In case you didn't hear asshole, people are still <em>just a bit jittery</em> about the next terrorist attack and you praying to your non-existent invisible asshole in the sky, during rush hour, on a subway doesn't f'n help!<br /><br /><br />5 people got up and moved to the other end of the car. <br /><br />I actually sat there and watched this guy until my stop. I don't know why and I don't know what I would have done if he went into his bag, probably for a newspaper or a bottle of water. <br /><br />Just keep your prayin' at home asshole.

You should have fucked with him and said &quot;You're facing the wrong way!&nbsp; Makkah is THAT way!&quot;

[DJEvelEd]

<p>You should have yelled at him. Interrupt his stupid subway prayer. Yeah he has the right to do it, just as you have the right to sit next to him talking into his ear while farting out coffee w/half &amp; half and eggs. Maybe start singing at him with bad breath.</p><p>That's actually some scary shit. Fuck him!</p>

<p>DO: Stuff your coat in the heater to block the air flow</p><p>DON'T: Stand up for yourself when a bumb steals your soda.</p>

[Bob Impact]

<p>Can we add one for tourists, because I've encountered this in EVERY city I've ever been in:</p><p>One: If you don't know where you're going, look at your fucking map UP AGAINST THE WALL!&nbsp; Don't stand in the middle of the goddamned station trying to firgure out what train you want. If you are figuring out a connection, FIGURE IT OUT ON THE TRAIN!</p><p>This one goes for everyone:</p><p>If you aren't in a rush move to the right on staircases and escalators.&nbsp; Just because you don't need to catch the next train it doesn't mean that nobody does, get out of the way.</p><p>The worst I ever saw was DC during summer time, bunches of fat Midwestern rubes completely confused about where they were trying to go.&nbsp;</p>

[sr71blackbird]

<p>Honestly, if I see that, I get OUT of that car!&nbsp; That is exactly what will preceed a terrorist attack..</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Bob Impact]

How about: If you have several hundred bags in your possession, take a cab

But when it comes to religion and prayer and this kind of worship I agree 100% with you. I think&nbsp;<font size="3" color="#ff0000" style="background-color: #ffff99">ALL</font> prayer should be done at home or amongst others at your church. Plus with whats going on wiith the world and muslim countries hating us so much it does get scary!!!</p>

[Furtherman]

<p>What might have made me stay was the guy's clothes.&nbsp; They were nice clothes.&nbsp; When I take the bus and someone doesn't look <em>quite</em> right I calm myslef by thinking, well, he's got nice shoes, nice watch, etc.... he wouldn't blow himself up in his nice clothes.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I'm making myself crazy!!!</p>

<p>Don't: Travel with half of your belongings in a HUGE wheeled suitcase. </p><p>&lt;&gt;Well, you can, but I'm going to change cars - I'm going at least 4 cars away, and I do it all the time.</p><p>Don't: Eat Yogurt. Disgusting.</p><p>Don't: Think that because you're a small immigrant, that I won't notice when you push your way past me to get into the car first. I've stood patiently and waited for everyone to get OFF the train, and if you try to push your way past me while I wait, I'm going to grab you by your collar and pull you back. I've done it before, and I'll do it again. </p><p>Don't: Caterwaul on your cell phone in your native tongue. Please. When you reach a point in your life where your phone calls are so important that you take them whereever you are, you won't be taking the 7 train anymore. And, while I'm thinking about it:</p><p>Don't: sit across the aisle from each other and screech about the customers in the nail salon in your native tongue. In fact, just sit there, quietly. Read.</p><p>Do: Have a nice day, and thank you for riding MTA.&nbsp;</p>
