In the back of NYC taxis there is a PSA that often plays about wearing your seatbelt. In it, the rider is urged to buckle up and is told that "65 Percent Of New York Cab Riders Don't Buckle Up". The message is intended as 'do better New York!' but it always comes across as validation for not choosing to wear a seatbelt.



It always reminds me to not be the median dumbass, as NYC taxis used to be one of the few remaining places I didn't put mine on.

Then again I'm an elitist prick, so perhaps this wouldn't have the desired effect on the median user.
