Not exactly manspreading but what is up with commuters walking along the edge of the platform? Are they looking to get pushed? These mindless commuters walking along the gridded yellow portion of the platform are literally playing with fire. Some crazy mofo would have a field day pushing people right off the platform onto the tracks or worse into an oncoming train.

Carlos, I do that sometimes to get around slowpokes.

doodle, it's been a long time, but I remember when I first moved to NYC and would commute on the super-packed Lexington line, squashed in like sardines with no room to even breathe. It was not uncommon for CREEPY men to take advantage of the fact that you had no place to move to grind themselves into you. I learned not to change into sneakers so I could jam the heel of my shoe directly into their foot when it happened. It was horrible.
As you said, no shortage of aholes on the subway lines.

I've even been grinded on on the 6 line (when I was younger)...and once a woman grabbed my ass!
It's the prying of a woman's knees that is another level of creepy.

That's taking it to really low levels, isn't it?
I try to go into a mental bubble whenever I'm on the train. To think about anything other than being there. . .
