Low Hanging Fruit

Anyone who wants to get a rise out of people only needs to ask subway riders what upsets them most:

They chew like cows, clip their nails and charge open seats like linebackers.

Meet the rudest of the rude subway riders.

The Daily News asked readers last week for their subway bad manners pet peeves — and our e-mail boxes filled up faster than the No. 7 train at rush hour.

There were daily horror stories about door blockers who refuse to move, and sprawlers who spread their legs far too wide, taking up more than one seat.

. . .

One reader snapped at “GUM SNAPPERS. These people try to make as much noise as possible. They sound like cows and act like pigs.” Others took aim at “pole huggers” who wrap themselves around the floor-to-ceiling poles designed to be used by many standing riders.

I prefer the term “subway pole dancer,” but that’s just me.
