  2. “Oh, and my dog died yesterday”

    A nicely dressed man with a pretty guitar gets on the train holding a little bucket of change.

    He says in a loud voice, “Ladies and gentleman, I am homeless. Last night I slept in a dumpster and I haven’t eaten or drank anything in over a month.” (He says all of this while holding a water bottle). No one looks up or pays him any mind so he adds in, “Oh, and my dog died yesterday.” He says this whole spiel with a smirk on his face. He must have thought he was pretty funny. I don’t think anyone gave him money. He was obnoxious.

  4. Give Me Money. No? Then I Throw Your Phone to the Ground!

    A man was walking through the train car asking for money. While he was walking through the train, he accidentally knocked a woman’s phone out of her hand. 

    He apologized and they both bent down at the same time to pick it up. As they were bent over the train began moving. The woman lost her balance and fell backwards onto her butt.

    The man reached over and tried to help her up while he was struggling himself to keep his balance. The woman was swatting his hands away saying she was fine while she was clearly struggling to get up.

    It was quite the show.

  5. Good Morning!

    8am. Doors are closing. Two women running toward train yelling on top of their lungs.
    Older woman next to me: “Animals!”

  6. RUDE!

    I was standing on the platform waiting for the train the other morning. These two older women felt the need to stand on top of me…there was space!
    The train pulled up and the doors just so happened to open right in front of me. Before they opened one of the women shoved in front of me. I got annoyed but just rolled my eyes.
    When the doors opened I proceeded to walk onto the train but the other woman shoved me and tried to get past me. She literally shoved me! I got SO annoyed. How rude!! I turned to her and said loudly and very attitudey, “EXCUSE ME!” She was like ohh…sorry.
    Where do these people get off???

  7. I Wanna Hold Your Hand

    My boyfriend and I were on the train traveling home. We were holding onto a pole in the crowded train car. We were chatting and he slid his hand down the pole and began affectionately rubbing my hand…it was not my hand.

    The girl next to him pulled her hand away and looked alarmed. He tried apologizing over my loud, hysterical laughter. Neither of us could stop laughing. We just walked away and stood next to another pole on the other side of the train car

  8. Underage Models, Old Creppy Dude and Tons More Inappropriateness

    I was on my way to the city on a Friday night with my friend when we witnessed an intriguing series of events.
    Two young girls dressed half naked stumble onto the train. They are clearly intoxicated. They didn’t appear to be any older than 16. They then begin walking up and down the car as if they were models and they were taking pictures of each other. The train car was pretty full so we all proceeded to watch them, roll our eyes, and laugh at their stupidity.
    They go to the corner seats of the train and blast music on their iPods or phones or whatever. They then pull out two cups and a bottle of alcohol. They pour it into the cups and drink together and sing and dance.
    An older man then enters the train. He appeared to be about 50. He had on a leather jacket, chains, sunglasses (It was 11pm) and his hair was slicked back. He was handing out cards promoting his CD or something. He and the girls formed a connection. They gave him alcohol and he flirted with them. They then begin taking pics together on his phone, making kissy faces and kissing him on the cheek and such.
    Everyone on the train has been watching them this entire time. The two girls next to me were taking pictures and videos of this whole scene. It was odd and quite creepy…

About

Hello there victims of the metropolitan transportation authority. As you know, in New York, it is inevitable to ride the subway or hop on a bus from time to time. In a city of eight million people and a crap load of pot holes, who wants to drive? Besides that, taking the good ole’ public transportation is a sure way to rack up a few good stories to tell around the dinner table. There are lunatics galore in New York City and somehow every one of them seems to wind up on your train or bus. We know you know what we are talking about; the smelly bum peeing in a corner, the screaming baby sitting right behind you as you nervously eye the freak singing along to Britney Spears, dreading the possibility of him ending up next to you...yeah, you've seen him!

We know you will relate, and maybe we have seen each other, shared the same subway car, or perhaps even told the same crazy story to our friends on the very same night. So, here you are fellow public transportation users; enjoy the madness on The MTAniac!
