UPDATED RULES - now with more randomness.
Just leave your name. I'll use random.org to pick someone at random.
I will put your name in twice if you leave an example of bad train behavior you have seen (anywhere in the world) that would be better off Done at Home.
I will put your name in three times if you make something visual.
That's it.
You've joined me in mocking appreciating the Tokyo Metro "Do it at home" manners posters for over a year now here.
Now, I would like to give you the chance to do it at home. For real.
I have one copy of the October 2009 poster (man splattering/stabbing cup noodles) that I will happily send it to the reader anywhere in the world who comes up with the best Do-it-at-X poster whose name is drawn as the winner.
Write your idea in the comments. Or, photoshop something on your own site or Flickr and post a link.
This will go until the end of the month, when the new posters go up. Do it at work. Do it at home. But do it soon!

uploading a vid that may send some people to this post!
BTW, my word verification box below says "resign" ^^
I will hang this up in my bathroom to let visitors know not to eat noodles there.
I still can't understand why he's white and using a fork. What are they trying to say?
Haha, yeah, that fork looks a bit like a trident - maybe he's meant to be the devil? xD If I think of anything else, I'll add it in here later.
My friend over at 3yen.com has had some fun photoshopping the Metro posters..
Check them out.

my name!
bad behavior i have seen: i don't know how bad it is.. but i wish women wouldn't do their full makeup application ritual on the train. really, do it at home.
Any kind of grooming that involves fingers and cavities.
That's not too gross, is it? :)
Count me in.
And something I see done on the subway with apalling frequency is nail-clipping. unnaceptable. please do it in HELL, after I beat you violently to death for grossing me out.
Nose picking, inspecting, eating, and grinning defiantly. And he did it in a wheelchair, so I couldn't beat him up.
elizabeth:
doing your nails on public transit. be it clipping or paining. no no no.

Put my name in for the random drawing! Also, an old subway story:
Old white lady in NYC Subway to young black due openly smoking weed: Is that a marijuana cigarette?
Young dude: Yeaaaah.
She [I wish]: Well. You should do it at home. [exit]
bad train behavior I've seen: using a boombox as a personal music player. It was an old man though, and they are usually the oddest characters on the train.
I would love to see one of the poster designs as urging us not to steal the poster itself. That would be an extra desirable piece to bring home....
This too cool! Discovered your blog listening to "Fun Fridays" with Alex and Beb on their Podcast. This Poster contest is fantastic idea!
Brilliant post and useful information…I think this is what I read somewhere…but I don’t know with your experience…
