Rule 213
Mass Transportation Etiquette

Obviously personal and preventative hygiene is best undertaken in the privacy of your own home. However occasionally moments arise when it becomes necessary to make a hygienic adjustment in public. This can be particularly awkward when using a mode of public transportation. If you have to blow your nose, for example, while on the Subway, be brief and discreet. It is advisable not to honk it out like the incoming Staten Island Ferry. Also do not examine the end result like it is one of the new Ten Dollar Bills.
