A quote from the article to whet your appetite. How often I have thought this very thing: Who do you think you are to take up the space of two spreading your knees. After the quote below, is a link to the article
A Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) spokesman, Kevin Ortiz, described the practice thus: “To, you know, extend their legs more than they need to in a manner that would take up more than one seat.”
It’s January, the MTA has ads calling for better subway manners. One such poster bears the message: “Dude … Stop the Spread, Please.”
