Take a deep breath and relax, manspreaders; you're not the most reviled people riding the rails.
We asked you to vote for what you thought was the most annoying, most egregious subway offense of all. And despite the widespread attention given to those who spread themselves wide across train seats, the "winning" offense wasn't manspreading.
Instead, the more than 1,200 readers who voted in the poll decided the true scourge of the subway is riders who don't even try to let other straphangers on or off the train. Voters chose "Standing (and not Moving) Directly in Front of the Doors" as the most flagrant etiquette violation, giving it 28 percent of the vote, more than twice as many votes as the next most hated subway habit.
Second place went to riders who listen to loud music without headphones. Nail clipping finished third, and manspreading rounded out the final four.
Commuting beauticians should also feel vindicated, as "putting on makeup" garnered less than 1 percent of the vote.
Just thinking about these offenses is getting us cranky, so check out the table below to see the results for yourself.
