Most Annoying Subway Riders

NY Post

Annoying subway riders, beware.

A local comedian — and frequent straphanger — has started a blog campaign against the worst behavior underground, using a sharp wit and a fast camera phone shutter.

Williamsburg resident Tom Sibley has snapped and received photo submissions of people partaking in some obnoxious subway behavior: clipping their nails, putting their feet on the pole, searching in front of a turnstile for a MetroCard or just lying drunk on a platform.

The best — or worst, depending on how you look at it — are immortalized on his site with a snarky headline and write-up from Sibley, 26.
The blogger, who works for a reality-TV show by day and as a standup at night, said his in-box gets flooded with photos from riders who’ve captured their pet peeves.

“Someone will take a picture of something really annoying, or maybe even really rancid, and write, ‘I thought of you!’ in the e-mail,” he said. “That took some getting used to.”

Some of the stuff he’s seen, he said, “will make your hair curl.”

Contributors have caught a man trimming his nails, a kid eating chicken wings and leaving scraps on the floor and — tops on the ick list — a man vomiting between two other riders.

The blog began with basic bad behavior, mostly of riders on the L line, which Sibley rides daily.

But as it got more attention, now about 75 percent of his posts are from rider submissions – though he still takes his own shots.
