THL – I hear you on the hand-sliders. They need toning up.

for This Old House, they stream on hulu.com
havent checked if latest episode is on.

THL – I never thought of the hand slider – but great idea to keep your thumb up!

Also just as bad is the person who likes to “play the door” – which is fine with me except when I am sitting in that first seat by the door and instead of you resting your back against the door, you want to stand sideways so your bookbag/puffy coat/ hood/ is in my face. I usually just push the person hoping they don’t get too loud with me – haha
Manners people – manners!

I don’t so much mind people keeping their bags on their shoulder so long as they swing it in front of them so it rests on their chest/stomach rather than their back so they aren’t poking anyone with it. I do that with my purses or I hold it down by my legs where there is more room.

Worse than a pole hogger (because I make them move by giving them a loud excuse me as I push my hand between them and the pole) is the “hand slider”. They grab onto the pole and then their hand slides down until it’s resting on top of yours. O .k. fine once but they keep doing it again and again or they just let it rest there. So creepy. If I get one of those I hold the pole with my thumb sticking up so that if they slide repeatedly I dig my fingernail in the base of their hand just enough so that they get the point. Works like a charm.
