People here don't have the slightest idea of subway etiquette. They push onto the train before anyone can get off, stand on both sides on the escalator, won't get off the train to let other passengers off thereby blocking the doors, and then swear at you (sometimes in English) if you push them out of the way, sit on the aisle seat so you have to climb over them to get to the free seat, AND put their feet on the seats. But it's free so mustn't grumble.Daphne Wayne-Boughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581048408996935564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795953.post-40441511240696493732010-03-11T09:33:29.394+00:002010-03-11T09:33:29.394+00:00And yet they don't hand out ASBOs for any of t...And yet they don't hand out ASBOs for any of these.
