People Breaking Out in Song
In most cases, people randomly breaking out in song, like in the musicals, is not a realistic or normal occurrence by any means. if you were to do that, most people would think you are insane or obnoxious.
But on the subway, all bets are off when it comes to normal behavior. Expect to enjoy plenty of concerts on your way to train.
Improptu Dance Parties
Sometimes, you'll even get some dancing on the subway, and there might not even be any actual music playing.
It's fine, though, as long as they don't bump into anyone and hurt them. It would probably be best to keep your distance.
Kids Riding Alone
Can you believe the nerve of some parents? Letting their little ankle-biters loose on the subway unsupervised. It's like they're auditioning their kids for a lost child poster.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Maybe they're training them for their future careers as runaway influencers or professional subway rats.
Big Dogs in Little Bags
Who says you can only have Chihuahuas and Pomeranians in handbags? Don't let societal norms stop you from living your best life!
On the subway, you may find that is the norm, anyway. Sure, it would probably be better to buy a leash, but in this economy, forget about it. Just use what you have!
Animals on Tracks
Either this doggo is on its own and just fed up with this world, or some people out there really need to watch their pets. Finding animals on the tracks (that aren't rats) really should be happening.
I'd ask whether the owner of this dog was blind or oblivious, but from what I've seen the blind are pretty good at taking care of their service animals. So, I think the answer is obvious.
Break-Ups
If you really need to break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend, the subway is not really the best place to do that.
Save your personal problems for at home, where they belong, and if it's just a back-and-forth dance you guys do regularly, save your quarreling for bedtime.
Falconry
Some people take their dogs on the subway, and maybe every once in a while, a cat. But have you ever seen someone with a falcon on a subway?
Well, now you have, and there's no better place to take up falconry than on a public subway.
Playing the Accordion with a Taco Bell Dog
On the subway, you'll find musicians aplenty, even ones that play music nobody really likes, like the totally unattractive sound of the accordion.
Sorry to all the accordion lovers out there; your taste in music is laughable. And the Taco Bell dog is not making things any better. ¿Quiero Taco Bell? No, what I really want is for you to stop playing the accordion right now.
Bring Your Own Subway Pole
This one might be a little understandable, as ridiculous and tacky as it may be. Sometimes, there aren't enough poles for everyone, and you don't want anyone getting in your personal space.
But, if you are going to do this, make sure that the plunger you are using has never touched a toilet before.
Ultimate Goth
Is this the saintly maiden whom the angels named Lenore? Nah, it's just some goth riding the subway with a crow on their leg. But what else is new?
Either this person has gone full goth, or they are auditioning for a role in a remake of The Crow. But considering that's already in the works, the former is likely the case.
Just Another Glitch in the Matrix
Some things you'll see on the subway will definitely have you doing a double-take. Are there really two people here or is the simulation we live in just acting up again?
On the subway, it's really too difficult to know. Props to these twins for being so in sync that they even dress exactly the same.
Darth Vader
Just a photo of Darth Vader riding the subway yet again. I guess the stormtroopers never got their shuttle ready, but fear not; he'll be back in time to give his son a proper whoopin' yet again.
Ironically, trapped in that bulky, chamber of a costume, drenched in sweat, it still probably smells better than anything going on in that subway car.
Plague Doctors
Oh, great. It looks like we've got another COVID outbreak on the subway. But don't be alarmed, folks. Those are real doctors on board, minus the doctorate degree or knowledge of medicine.
For real, though, I'd argue the best thing about COVID was the resurgence of the plague doctor mask. Little did everyone suffering during the bubonic plague know that their sacrifices would come at the amusement of future generations, particularly on Halloween.
Squats as Payment
Do you mean they actually want...payment...for riding...the subway? No, no. How about, since I'm already suffering as it is, I just do a few squats? I can show off my glute muscles, you let me get home for free - everyone wins.
Oh, you want me to leave immediately? Oh, no, police involvement won't be necessary. Hey, look over there; it's a guy with an accordion and a Chihuahua!
In reality, the subway is not the best place to do your warm-up exercises in the morning. But I guess, sometimes, it's the only place.
Pikachu
Catch the subway and catch Pikachu at the same time. Two birds, one stone. Unfortunately, this isn't the real Pikachu, or if it is, it's Pikachu eating a full-grown man.
You thought Pikachu was cute before, but once he starts getting a taste for human flesh, it really puts things in perspective - mostly that riding the subway wasn't the best idea.
