@zenvelo Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. The bag was most definitely sitting on my leg due to the amount of pressure. Yes, I should of been more cordial and said excuse me. But since it happens so often I decided to just move my leg. I live in the north Bronx and I work at Brighton Beach. I am trying to find one closer to my house at the moment.
@CWOTUS Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. It is not illegal to sleep on the subway. Only if you are laying down. I was sitting up when the incident occurred
@ucme Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. Well said.
@LornaLove Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. Very true, I get home pretty late from work. When I get home I do freelance graphic design for clients. I am trying to find a job closer so I can get more sleep. Yes sleeping leaves people vulnerable to many things. However in NYC during morning rush hours, many people sleep on the train. It has become routine for me. My body kind of knows when to wake up.
@stanleybmanly Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. I am trying to find a new job. It is really hard thou. Considering moving somewhere else where there is more opportunity.
@Mariah Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. When I say sleep, I do not mean laying down. I sit up when I sleep. In NYC sleeping on the train is really normal. Especially during the morning rush hour.
@dappled_leaves Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. Very true, well said. However that is NYC for you. That’s how many people here are.
@Jak Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. Well said. I was sitting up when the incident happened. I never ever sleep laying down lol.
@JeSuisRickSpringfield @Seek @dappled_leaves Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. I was sitting up when the incident happened. I always sleep sitting up and have my bag between my legs so i don’t cause a space issue for anyone. I never ever sleep laying down. In NYC you can always find people sleeping on the train. Some may be going home from a night shift or others are going to work. The trains are always crowded in the mornings. Mainly because people push and shove their way into the train car when there is no space left. I get little to no sleep due to work and my freelance job as well. Working on finding a job closer to my house. Once in a while an older person, people with kids etc… will tap me and ask to sit down. I gladly give up my seat to them. Many times since there is no space to move, people just find themselves placing there things anywhere. Since I am fast asleep I guess they feel I won’t notice and they might get away with it.
