getting off...

get your minds out of the gutter...I mean getting off the train! I don't know what there is about manners here in NYC, but sometimes I think they've left town.

when I wait for the subway, as it pulls up, I move away from the doors to either side and wait for the passengers on the train to get off. No matter what time of day or night. It's common courtesy.

All weekend long as I was getting off the subway I was met by a wall of people head on - some of whom tried to push their way on even before the doors were fully open. Let us off first people - it's much easier that way.
