New York City is full of unwritten rules. It is also full of written ones. Such as the ones spotted on designated subway seats, instructing able-bodied passengers to stand up for their disabled brethren.

But seeing as this is New York (city motto: “Go F*ck Yourself or Die”), there are always folks willing to break most any rule… even those which embody the tenets of common decency. Which brings us to our new favorite website, People Who Sit In The Disability Seats When I’m Standing On My Crutches. The author, who would prefer to remain nameless so as not to get his crippled ass kicked, has been on crutches for the past few months following an unfortunate injury. One would think that merely the site of a grown man all Tiny-Timmed out would have folks jumping out of their seats to give the guy a break. One would be wrong.

So what did this guy decide to do about it? Photograph these lazies and post them on a website. To wit:

I had the opportunity to speak with the author, to which I wondered: “What if someone has a disability that you can’t see? Like a deaf person?” He claimed that he would begin thinking of legal arguments. Might we suggest hiring a sign-language lawyer? (Also the title of our upcoming sitcom.)
