With the cost of a subway ride climbing ever-higher, it's nice to see commuters like the guy in this gross video getting his money worth. Why pay extra for a box of tissues when you can simply use the train doors as your hanky? When you think about it, the MTA is really missing out on some merchandising opportunities in the personal hygiene department. Is it smart business to limit merch to MTA-themed socks and T-shirts when there's such a high demand for subway fingernail clippers and spittoons? We're sure this F train nose-picker would have preferred to wipe his booger on a linen handkerchief with an embroidered MTA monogram, but nobody ever gave him the choice. [Via The Awl]
