Scenes from the Subway: Adventures in Etiquette, Lesson 1 (Bonus Train Tips!)

Yes, Lesson 1 because I am sure there will be future lessons to be shared. The world is full of nimrods and I suspect they are given free subway passes.

Lesson 1: Personal Space
Attention, public transportation riders. It's called personal space. I like mine. You should look into getting your own, because it's personal space and not meant to be shared! I do not need you all up in my business before I've had breakfast, thank you very much.

Train Tips - to those riders in the business class section of the Amtrak train I took home after Angela's wedding, this goes out to you.

  • To the guy who sat in front of me - I'm glad you are super comfortable. But you can cool it with the super-expressive sighs and obnoxious yawns because it is creepy.
  • To the guy sitting in front of him - I'm glad you like your music. It's very catchy. But you should invest in headphones, because I brought my own music and would like to be able to hear that instead.
  • To the girl who does have headphones - feel free to can it with the singing. We don't need a concert happening up in here.
Thank you.
