Subway Etiquette, Now With Dramatic Reenactments
There’s no doubt that many of you have seen the real life behavioral atrocities that are committed on the subway, so you’re probably wondering what up with this slickly produced video detailing artist Jay Shells’ ‘Subway Etiquette’ project. Yeah well, us too.

Editor-in-Chief:
How about one that says “Disregard Government fear-mongering at all times. Ignore ‘Big Brother’ announcements that threaten to trump your 4th amendment rights.”
From now on, every time I hear that my backpack is “subject to random search by the police” I’m going to start reciting the 4th amendment at a very high volume. Then you guys can make a sign about that and whine about it on the internet.
I mean, seriously. I'd rather smell some stinky vegan's veggie burger than suffer inner-lobe damage from these announcements that reverberate throughout these concrete tombs: "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS A POLITE REMINDER BY THE POLICE THAT YOU ARE ALL SLAVES. ALL BACKPACKS AND BAGS ARE SUBJECT TO RANDOM SEARCH BY THE POLICE. STAY ALERT, YOU MIGHT BLOW UP!"
That's the type of shit that ruins my day, not some smelly bum that doesn't barely have any nails to clip.
Wake up, goons.
1/ Do not ever hustle me for money. I don’t have any, I hate you and if you’re that hungry stop giving away your sandwiches to other supposed homeless people on the subway at 9am in the morning. The city is full of shelters and feeding centers, try them, we have…
2/ Don’t insist on spreading your legs apart and putting the lapels firmly over mine. I don’t like it and even if we all know you have a penis the size of a jack hammer we don’t need you to advertise your masculinity in this particular cute way.
3/ Do not ask me for my number or anything. I hate you, I am anti social and I only want to be approached in socially sanctioned venues like $2000 society galas that way at least I know you can afford to buy me a proper drink and have some sort of social standing. For the time being – scram!
