Social Taboos on the Subway Include:
(1) Looking awake, too perky
(2) Staring intently at someone or into someone’s eyes (see 3)
(3) Making visible eye contact
(4) Smiling or see 5
(5) Exhibiting friendliness; being overtly gregarious
(6) Talking too loudly (though you can get away with this if you’re a rapscallion or wearing overly baggy pants; then people expect it of you)
The funny thing about social taboos on the subway is that they are the social norms (and I would even go as far to say social expectations) of life above ground.
