Pole Hoggers Beware

It’s not just subway seat hogs that are officially on notice.

Continuing its expose on bad subway behavior, Gothamist reports that those who hog the poles in the subway are being called out as well.

Apparently it’s preferable to simply clutch the pole with your hand, as opposed to wrapping your body around it. Frankly I’m not sure why anyone would care what you do with the pole, though I guess hugging it means less access points for your fellow riders.

Like “mansitting,” polehogging too has its own Catherine Weaver logo.
