Subway Etiquette


.... not in any order of importance


What are you supposed to do ....

UN# ...when you find the last seat on the subway and in walks Miss could-be-pregnant but you are not sure at all if she is or it's just extra weight in the wrong place?
Me - I would rather let a not-so-pregnant woman stand for sometime than let an already fat girl feel bad about her weight...
DEUX# ...when you are standing in a reely crowded subway and in walks Miss buxom 30+ crop top with a 4 inch cleavage exposed to the general population and stands right in front of you. Is it OK to stare down her blouse - because there is nothing more interesting in sight?
Me - I'll be honest - unless someone else is performing acrobatics in the subway - my eyes are NOT taking the effort of finding something else to look at ...
TROIS# ... (this happened to me today) when you are sitting in the subway and a couple walks in - the guy holds the bar right above your head and stands in front of you talking to the girl - and then you realise his fly is open?
Me - I would rather save myself the embarrasment than save him the embarrasment - so I pretended like nothing was wrong. I figured - he's a guy - why does he even care - he might find the whole thing funny and I will be the one who's embarrassed.
And then what if ... just what if ... this whole thing back-fires on me - and he turns around and says - Why the heck are you looking there anyway - maybe I want to keep it open - THEN what am I supposed to do? My brain briskly calculated risk and instructed me to stay put...
Are my priorities all twisted or what?
