It's been really hot and humid out lately. People are sweaty, smelly, and generally cranky as a result. Especially on the subway. Behavior that I can typically overlook really gets under my skin when the weather is this steamy. For example, people that block everyone else from holding on to the vertical poles in the subway cars really tick me off. Some of us can't reach the overhead bars without practically dislocating a shoulder. That pole is not just for you, buddy, it's for as many people that can grab on to it. A variation on this is when I am already holding on to said pole and someone gets in the car and proceeds to wrap themselves around the pole, crushing my hand. To the lady on the D train this morning, I would have appreciated you not enveloping my hand with your sweaty boob when there was plenty of space for you to position you boob elsewhere. And don't give me dirty looks when I try to reposition my hand. If I wanted to go to second base with you, I would have done a better job of it. Thanks.
