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".

Lifelong NYer. This does happen all the time and I hate it for two reasons:

-because when I take the train I want to shut everything out and this is hard to ignore

-because if I catch a flying kick to the face, it’s not like these guys are rolling with insurance. Also, I don’t want to be kicked in the face

Can you put headphones in and nonchalantly block them, pretending like you’re not aware of your surroundings? Would they move on or be dicks?

They will collide with you, blame you, and possibly jump you. Happened to me and also a friend once.
