Stand Clear of the Closing Doors, Underground

Photo by myself on the subway.

I usually observe the unspoken New York code of ethics regarding photographing on the subway, especially in the mornings. However, I could not resist taking this photo during a particularly grueling commute to the city, Monday.

It may have been the intense rain all weekend that did the subway in. There were severe delays and crowded platforms.

As usual on such days, when the train finally arrived, everyone crowded in and the doors had trouble closing. This delays the train even more, which backs up the trains behind the train in question, which then creates greater crowds on the platform.....

You get my drift.

Anyway, the above subway poster attempts to educate people about not blocking the subway doors. It is very, very annoying when the doors are held open for stragglers. Hence the graffiti. Ha.
