I need to get this off of my chest. If you feel the following message applies to you, consider it a public service announcement from New York to you.
It is IMPOLITE and ANNOYING to stand in the doorway of the subway car because you don't want to move into the car and have to be close to your fellow passengers. In fact, it doesn't even matter WHY you don't want to move in. I don't care if you're getting off in two stops. I don't care if you can't speak English and you don't understand me politely asking you to move so I can get on or off the subway. JUST MOVE. You don't belong there. We allllllllllllllll are more comfortable leaning on the door than we are holding onto the pole crawling with bacteria in the middle of the car. But we can't. Because people need to be able to walk THROUGH the door and you standing there PREVENTS THAT. My new rule is if you are standing in the door that means you are some kind of masochist and we, your fellow straphangers, are all allowed to punch you as we are forced to squeeeeeeeze past you.
You are also asking to be punched if you lean on the pole that other people are holding onto, squeeze into a seat your fat ass can't fit in and spend the entire ride with your leg on top of mine or decide that your elbow belongs in my side while you read the newspaper. This isn't your living room. If you want all the room in the world as you commute to work in the morning spring for a taxi.
I think I need a vacation.

AGREE 100%!! I MISSED my stop once because the woman in front of me walked to the door and then kindly stopped in front of it, just as it was closing... as I had assumed any person walking to the door would exit, I followed directly behind her...what is wrong with people? Or people who dont understand that the left side of the escalator is for driving the right side is for standing?? Where do they come from?
