26 People Who Lean on the Subway Pole
Like manspreading, this sends a signal to everyone around you that you think you are special and entitled to more room than everyone else in a crowded place. Other people need the pole too! And even when the train car is empty, this move does not make you look cool.
27 The Noise
Between the constant wail of ambulances, the honking of angry drivers in traffic, and whatever it is your neighbor is doing that makes it sound like Bigfoot has moved in upstairs, no wonder New Yorkers aren’t getting enough sleep.

In addition to not being allowed on trains or buses unless in a carrier bag, dogs in many big cities are not allowed in playgrounds, zoos, fountains, ball fields, on basketball/handball/tennis courts, in swimming pool/facilities, bathing areas, and city-side beaches. And then people complain about how there are so many dogs in shelters. There would be far more puppies adopted if big cities didn’t make it impossible to take care of them without ever leaving the house.

Plus, scientists have found that light exposure while sleeping can cause weight gain.

But if you are going to queue up for something, at least let it be for The Most Expensive Restaurant Dish in Every U.S. State.
