Rider Hall of Shame: Cheekhanger II: Revenge of the Cheeks

From Bill:

This was my view in the Metro. The worst was seeing her visibly clench the bar to hold on. This picture really doesn't do justice to how nasty this was.

What's the problem here, guys? She's being safe and she's having a good time. And before you say anything about how unsanitary this is, let me say that her moo moo dress acts as a stonewall between the pole and her voluptuous chasm.

Leaning on the bar with ANY body part is just really rude. What an inconsiderate woman and what an unfortunate view for the passenger.

Sigh....

Really. So in an overcrowded train - as this one appears to be - no one should ever lean on a vertical bar? Is that your stance here?

Considering how much trains jerk and stutter, people are more likely to need to brace themselves as much as possible. Imagine if this woman wasn't leaning on this pole while the idiot operator slammed on the brakes. If she were merely holding the pole, she'd smack into someone else. But apparently that'd be okay with you.

IMHO, exactly Autumn's point. I always need to hold on. I have balance problems. I do not believe for one moment she'd be able to hang on with those cheeks in the situation you describe. If she held on with a hand, she'd have a better chance of catching herself, especially since she may be facing backwards at that. She's just being lazy, rude and selfish as is anyone who thinks claiming the entire pole is their right. Riding public transit is a priviledge, not a right.

Oh that is so wrong in so many ways. And selfish as well.

Bet her dress stuck in her crack as she waddled away from the train. (And that would have made me bust out laughing!)

It looks like the POLE is in her crack, too. Oy.

This is another reason the trains are more crowded.

I'd give Cheekhanger 1 a dollar, but not this cow. Nasty.

Nice double standard! Gripping the pole with your butt is acceptable if the butt in question is tight, but not a tank-a$$ like the one in the pic above. Ok, that makes perfect sense.

I've seen that happen a number of times, just never thought to snap a pic of it. That is so tragic *barf*

The culture of safety at Metro takes on a whole new meaning?

i wonder how long it would take her to get to the top of the car using only her legs to push and her bum to hold on. sort of a stand, clench, pull legs up, hold with feet, unclench, and then repeat from start.

I love Unsuck! To see something so obscene but with comments that are cracking me up!

Another thought comes to mind - Think she'd go flying across the train car if she cut one? (Ladies might "pass gas" but not with this rude sow cow.) Would the pole bend from the initial impact?

I always wondered what became of the sofa I had that ran away. I'm glad to see that it's doing well. Thank you Unsuck.

Not to excuse her - I hate it when people hog the pole like that, but it looks like she is holding a baby (see far left of photo - little hand on her hip), so maybe she didn't have hands to hold onto the pole.

That "baby" you're referring to is actually an OPTICAL ILLUSION! or perhaps this is a classic case of extraneous-baby-arm syndrome (when baby arms start growing out of one's body)
