Subway Etiquette

I'm not sure what the socially accepted subway etiquette is. I've learned some tricks for how to maneuver into a seat when it becomes available but I'm just not sure when it's acceptable to verbalize certain requests.

Is it impolite to ask someone on the subway to:

"Please remove your armpit from my face"
"Could you turn your hips to the side so I don't have a close up of your private bits?"
"Kindly stop mushing into me at every stop- muscle contraction is a good thing"
"Please close your legs so more than one person can sit on the bench."
"Control your purse- just because it isn't a body part doesn't mean it should be a battering ram."
"My head is NOT an armrest!"
"Stop looking at my feet!"
