Given that the exact same question is the current top post but for driving instead of transit, I feel this question was needed.
My answer: I saw some guys hooking up a Raclette Grill to the outlet in an otherwise empty German intercity rail waggon. They had it unpacked in one of these 4 person seats with a small table. No idea if that could work or if draws too much power from the board net. I just headed on to the next waggon.
As I was preparing to get off the train, I heard the man next to me say “hublublublubluh”.
I looked over. He was lying down.
“hublublublubluh” he repeated, and this time I got to witness the exit of pints of beery vomit onto the floor.
The train stopped. The vomit rushed across the floor under other people’s feet and bags. As I got off I noticed the smell.
Really glad that was my stop.
People just pissing on the floor in NYC/Boston subways. Not really that unusual.
- Guy with his pants down furiously masturbating in the middle of rush hour. Caused a delay.
- Tweaker trying to grind on us til a BAMF lady with a tazer and a huge afro scared him off
- Two rival gangs threatening each other with guns. Police raided the train from both ends
- Masturbaters on the bus
- Delusional woman accusing everyone of touching her hair and trying to pick a fight
- Guy blowing off another guy in between moving train cars
- Subway surfers
- On the bus, guy kept saying “mmm gassy” while eating Chinese takeout and loudly farting
NYC is wild
Guy sets a bluetooth speaker down on a seat, and then proceeds to do a full gymnastic dance routine right there in the subway car. Plenty of “regular” dancing, but also handstands, hanging from the rails, spinning on the floor, walking on the walls, the works. All well-timed to the music.
Didn’t ask for money. Just got off at the next station. Dude just wanted to dance, I guess.
On the tube in central London, two 20-something women got on the train, one was leading the other on a collar and leash as she crawled.
The one holding the leash sat down on the seat, the leashed one sat on the floor at her feet.
I think that’s gross. I’m all for consenting adults doing whatever, but I’m not consenting to be part of your sex life in public because that’s what gets you off. I also think it’s immature. I think BDSM is immature really.
I think it’s gross … Because of the gross stuff that’s probably on every surface in a public transit environment.
I think BDSM is immature really.
Wild take at the end of a comment about being overtly sexualy kinky in public
I’d argue there’s a very pleasant and even artistically beautiful side to the bdsm community. The problem is that, like any niche subculture, the ones that tell you about it are unbearable and the bearable ones aren’t out here showing off.
I think the people into that scene really need therapy. It’s like passive self injurious behaviour.
Someone on Reddit once talked about working on porn sets, and said that the actresses all had this vacant quality. I think when you make your sex life about being a violent commodity rather than simple human intimacy and mutual pleasure that it’s unhealthy. Also some women have been murdered in the scene, and I think it hides sociopathic people fairly well.
I was with you until that last part.
The bus driver watching loud porn on his phone and cheering them on loud enough for the whole bus to hear.
On a bus from El Paso to Phoenix someone smoked a joint in the bus bathroom and got dumped on the side of the highway immediately after.
Two hours later on that same bus trip the bus got raided by immigration and I got into an argument with the officer that wouldn’t accept my ACTIVE, UNEXPIRED Military ID as a valid form of ID and started yelling at me for my passport (I have a Spanish last name). I threw my passport at him and told him to fuck off before I got my command group involved with his. I don’t know how that worked but he got real quiet and left me alone immediately after that lol. There were several people that were pulled off of that bus that night. It was overall pretty shitty.
It worked because cops are terrified of MPs. They know that the MPs can and will treat them the way they treat the normal citizenry.
I did not expect the sheer amount of posts from Americans about mentally ill people or drug users. I taught this would get more vibes, like people moving weird furniture in trams, or people in weird costumes, or stuff like that.
Someone today had a balaclava on with a bandanna tied around the forehead and sunglasses on. It is summer here.
My favourite was the guy who asked me if he could borrow my phone tomorrow to record his wedding to me. Ha.
In New York some man decided to hold the whole car hostage to some lengthy preaching and finally I told him he was boring and to shut up.
Lol your raclette experience reminded me when we once hooked up an electric cettle on a swiss alpine train to make an alcoholic drink called „fröschli“. It worked great but it also uses a lot less power. :D
Take some big rips from a bong while driving.
Young dude sitting waiting for a train flicking a bic lighter until it exploded in his hand.
Old lady fell off the platform between two cars while the train was still rolling. Had all the toes on one foot crushed and cut off. The sock was still intact so when we helped the conductor pull her back up it was just a bloody tube of sock with… stuff at the bottom.
Train stopped in the middle of nowhere after it hit a horse. The train won.
Not my story but my dad’s. He was in London for work and was using the public transit. I don’t know if it’s like this anywhere else but uk buses throw you around a lot. So a group of American tourists got on, with their typical “having a conversation with a stranger” behaviour, something unacceptable in the uk (/hj). The bus starts and the Americans just go flying and the entire bus of brits are just laughing at them.
There are night busses in my city, and there are loads of wild stories but maybe my favorite is this wholesome one:
So friends were returning from pub with guitars (some jam night) and didn’t want to stop. Get to the bus and started playing again, few stops another guy with guitar gets on, joins them… So the trip went like all the people singing, players hops on and of on their stops and everyone have a good time returning from pubs.
When we did something like that on few hour long train ride some German girls really liked it, they didn’t understand a word but they clapped after each song.
That sounds like other people would probably find it either delightful or obnoxious with little in between.
I was reading a book on the train. A guy had the nerve to come up to me and ask me about the book I was reading.
