Earlier this year, Helen Mirren made news for doing something more than 8 million people do every day: ride the subway.

Dude.
Dude.

Are you really going to manspread all over Dame Helen Mirren?
She has four Emmys, an Oscar, two Golden Globes, and a BAFTA award. The absolute least you could do is let her have her whole seat. (This is something you should do even if your neighbor doesn’t have a wall full of awards. They need their space just as much as you need yours.)
