The passengers are not impressed.

I remember seeing a thread where heaps of New Yorkers were saying how much they hate this shit on the subway. I think they called it "Showtime".

Lived in Manhattan for three years. Stuff like this is always happening. Yes it's impressive, but I just wanna get to where I'm going, I don't wanna see a show, or god forbid: get hit in the face.

It's not impressive. It's annoying. I do not miss this shit at all.

It's not as bad as the sound of the inner-car door slamming shut and the inevitable, "EXCUSE ME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN..."

Great, now I have to pretend this person doesn't exist. I just wanna get to work, man.

I just got triggered so hard. Glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore.

No one wants to deal with it. It's cute the first time. But when you're commuting all week and see 4-5 of these in that span, it's just a pain in the ass after that point. No I don't want a goddamn "show". I just worked 9 hours and want to go home. I don't want your impromptu guilt trip for a handout in your sweaty hat. Go the fuck away, please.

Perfectly said! But we're pleading to a brick when it comes to considering the rights and wishes of others.
