The Metropolitan Etiquette Authority











Jayshells, you are my favorite person of the week. The artist has created a new "Subway Etiquette" campaign designed to address passengers' most common complaints--about other passengers. Posters will soon be up in trains throughout the city.

Believe it or not, nail clipping (as mentioned above) is a fairly common sight on New York City public transportation. And there's always some dude with a finger up his nose. Come on, people!

The fact people need to be told that is digusting. C'mon, folks, NAIL CLIPPING?

This is why I drive a car. No one cars if I clip my nails there. Just wait a minute while I swerve around this pedestrian...

(But seriously, simply by brushing my hair at stop lights I save five minutes out of my day. Now I'm waiting for my robot-controlled individual-sized air transportation, so I can productively use ALL of my travel time. Waste not, want not.)
