More Subway Douchery

Here we thought posting photographs of innocent straphangers on the internet was so January 2010, but the NY Post is dredging up the past and spotlighting the Subway Douchery blog, run by comedian Tom Sibley. If you're going to be publicly shamed on the internet, this is probably the best place to have it go down (who knows what could happen to that photo of you innocently stretching out across the seats if it gets into the hands of N Train Gossip!).

Sibley tells the paper that some of the photos he's been sent "will make your hair curl." Trimming nails, tossing chicken wings, and the ol' standby of puking on your fellow passengers. If you just want to rant about underground eaters, however, Train Pigs is the site for you.

What's the worst thing you've witnessed on the subway lately? And can someone please start a blog focusing on subway hospitality?

Why does this very unfunny man with an unfunny blog deserve a second post on Gothamist? Come on, guys, have a little bit more taste.

"And can someone please start a blog focusing on subway hospitality?"

This morning on the Q train a Guyanese/Trini looking woman (East Indian by way of the West Indies) was standing against the door and said she felt light headed. A svelte young Slavic girl offered her a seat and gave her candy. A petite Jewish girl beside her, studiously reading a pocket Torah, also gave her a child's lollipop from her bag. The very grateful West Indian woman took off her heavy coat and took the seat.

i was on a full 6 train once and this guy gets on who looks like serious ol dirty bastard - the hair the teeth,pants halfway down - everything, and he's holding this teeny little sleeping baby girl. no blanket, no backpack or bag, just him and a little baby in a onesie in his hands. he stands there rocking with the train, no one budges for a couple of minutes, then this petite older UES facelifter (in navy blue with a little animal print here and there - i don't know what she was doing underground in the first place) stands up and nods "won't you sit down?" and he nods "thanks" and sits down with this little baby in his lap.

Stories like this make me hate reading gothamist. Stop it already.

Why are pictures of people with i-passed-out-and-my-jerk-friends-drew-insulting-pictures-on-my-face and the old guy in the dress pictures on that site? What's douchey about that? Those are novel things, yes, but the only douchiness is in whoever thought to put those pictures on a site dedicated to assholes.

That's nothing. I once saw Jen Carlson on the L train. She was thinking up a story idea.

As the doors were closing on my train yesterday, a guy graciously held the door open to projectile spit in the direction of several passengers. Definitely an act of hostility...it was a little freaky, not to mention gross.
