Rude Subway Behavior

Everyone who rides the subway knows how jam packed they get during the morning rush hour. Today, a girl on my train decided to ignore this fact and assume that she had loads and loads of personal space. As we exited 14th Street, I watched her get up from her seat, and then swing her bag onto her shoulder. I was amazed that the lady sitting next to her knew exactly when to duck so as to not get hit, while never looking up from her knitting. Unfortunately, I wasn't so quick. Not expecting that the girl would flick her wrist as she let go of a pole I was standing near, I ended up with a slap in the face on my way out.
