Close Your Legs. I Want to Sit Down!

You're on your way to work - in a great mood, skipping down the subway steps, as you do every day. The subway doors open - Oh no! Both doors are blocked - your fellow riders give you the evil eye, and refuse to move to the middle of the car! It's a good thing you joined a health club to muscle your way in!When the New York City subway system was installed in 1904, dignity, chivalry, and courtesy were integral to society. Over the course of the 20th Century, the technology for moving large groups of strangers around the city has improved tremendously but, unfortunately, those large groups of strangers haven't learned to interact with each other any more efficiently. It seems that modern subway riders need a bit of guidance. In this pocket-sized volume you will find dozens of handy tips to better get along with your fellow IRT riders. If, on the other hand, you have impeccable subway manners yourself, then you'll also find this book useful for correcting the behavior of those joining you in your commute.
