Subway Etiquette for Suicidal Commuters? 

Top thread this morning from Brooklynian Park Slope...

If you're considering offing yourself during my commute, please reconsider, and go upstairs and jump in front of a truck instead of jumping in front of the train. Thank you!

this seems to be happening so frequently lately. I only moved to PS a year ago, though, so, is it always like this?

maybe you should move to japan where they send the bill to your family if your loved-ones jump in front of a train?

That only applies for the ones they can't use as sushi.

I'm chagrined to admit, I kind of guffawed into my coffee cup. And who knew that Japan actually bills suicide charges to survivor's families?

But it does beg the question. Perhaps the F train could start offering platform counseling services to troubled commuters.

What do you think?
