Gothamist reports that “mansitting”–sitting on public transportation with one’s legs spread wide–is an egregious violation of the NYC Transit’s Rules of Subway/Bus Conduct.

Gothamist says there’s even a Facebook group operating under the rubric “Close Your Damn Legs on the Subway So I Can Sit Down Already!”

Close Your Damn Legs’ Facebook description reads:

Okay subway riders and denizens of above and below-ground NYC–stop sitting spreadeagled, legs all over the aisle, taking up so much room that I have to perch on the tiniest portion of my tailbone to fit.

Your junk isn’t that large. Close ‘em up!
