Ive calmed down a lot since moving out of NYC, lol. Little things dont bother me as much but being my height on the subway, you've got to stick up for yourself. My head has been used as an armrest on more than one occasion and I nearly chopped their arms off. Ive gotten book bags filled with books swung straight into my face because its at the same height. One man refused to take his bag off and I let it hit me twice, warned him three times and then just opened the bag and started taking everything out so if the bag hit me again it wouldnt be with a bunch of sharp cornered text books. Started handing his books out to fellow riders asking if they needed any reading material for the time being. He took his bag off after that and put it between his legs where its supposed to go on a packed train.
