Several times I've had to move when these monkeys get on the subway doing their monkey dance on the pole. Can't they do that in their neighborhoods? The subway is not the place for the monkey dance. Where are the police when you need them?

ROFLMAO!!!!! 2 days ago I saw this on the 4 train. The guy took up almost three seats had his legs so wide open I thought it was some sort of invitation for someone to pleasure him. What wrong with these people? This is not your house mind the fact that others would like to sit.

Angry Who is the most annoying person on the subway?

The preachers who scream their way from one car to another haranguing the riders who cannot get up and leave.

I'd have to say the pole hugger is the most consistently annoying person I've encountered. God forbid anyone else should want to hold on while you're playing on your cell phone with it wedged between your butt crack.

The douchbag/bagette wearing Wayfarers in an underground platform or train makes me want to vom a little bit too. Nobody is going to mistake you for Zack Efron or one of the Olsen twins so can the cool act and put them on your forehead where they belong.

The most annoying people on the subway are the loud, female teenagers who think everyone wants to hear them dis' everyone around, including their friends. Give it up already ... it's not cute!

Seriously, Wide Load gets my vote. I am pretty cool with having people invade my 'private space' if deemed necessary. After all, nobody owns space on the subway, we all have to share. But having someone's fat rolls bumped and pressed up against me? That takes it TOO far!!! And there is no apology, no nothing... they just sit there and act like it's normal. Also- performers who aren't even good (more like horribly annoying) that give you dirty looks when you don't put money into their filthy baseball cap. Like you are Scrooge or something lol
