When you’re a New Yorker, there are a few rules you pick up pretty quickly about subway behavior.
1.) You let people out before getting on.
2) You don’t make eye contact, especially with those wearing ski masks.
3) Instead of making eye contact, you look at the ads on the wall no matter how bad they are.
4.) It’s okay to check out a subway map without anyone thinking you’re a tourist. What will make people think you’re a tourist is wearing white, generally while being blond.
5.) You give up your seat to pregnant women unless you’re a total asshat.
6.) You generally ignore the panhandlers.
