A Train Observations

[CardonaLJ**]

So I spend most of my time commuting back and forth on the A Train from Rockaway Beach to Manhattan for school everyday. During my time i tend to look around and just observe people on the train. I'm hoping this becomes an everyday type thread that I update regularly, but we'll see. I give you the first entries in the series.

Ladies, if you're going to wear open heeled sandals, make sure youre heels dont look like a chalkboard thats never been cleaned or a chalk eraser thats never been cleaned. You could be cute as shit but if you have ashy ass heels that are cracking, aint no one going to talk to you.


Dudes. I get it, you want to emulate your favorite rappers. But wearing an eternity scarf does not make you look hood or cool. In the least bit. If anything, you look like an uncircumcised penis.

Fat People, I get it, you're morbidly obese. But please do not sit in the first and third chair on the subway. U leave no room for anyone to sit down in the middle and i'll be damned if I have youre heavy breathing and greasy ass skin rubbing all over me. please just sit next to each other. Atleast that way theres some room to sit down.

I'd talk to a girl with chalky heels. I never look at people's feet. Just nothing interesting going on down there

i usually just check out the graffiti and urban decay.

Something very relaxing about it in NYC -especially when elevated with a view like in the outer burroughs.

..but Fat People....*shudders in disgust*

Still tormented from that plane ride the other week mate lol

Thankfully I don't have to catch trains very often these days

One of the weirdest things I have ever seen on a train was coming back from seeing Soundgarden. I hop on the train and sit in the area as you first get on. Instantly I get a weird fishy/ocean smell and wonder what's going on.

Then I see this huge fat Asian lady sitting across from me trying to hide what she is eating with a book, always putting it in front of her face when she chowed down. After awhile I noticed she was eating a full crab. A full crab, not in pieces or anything, here she is breaking it apart on a train and shits going everywhere. The funny thing was there was chunks of shell and crab all over the cabin, all over her side and a lot of my side as well.

So I was like "Ok that explains the weird smell".

The kicker was, when she got off the train she left the crab carcass and all the bits of gross stuff on the seat and went on her merry way. As she was getting off I said to her "Are you serious love? That fucking rank of you......". She acted like she didn't hear me and got off. Soon as she got off me and these 2 other randoms who had been at the concert starting discussing how weird it was

haha. how the fuck eats a full crab on a train?

atleast she didn't fart on you like ole Ralphie May did me.

I hope he got it out of his system before he made that poor dog share a cab with him.

I noticed well behaved teenagers on the train on my way to aunt's house in Queens. Just listened to their ipod and chatted a little bit with each other.

I was impressed. If there was that many kids on a bus in So Cal, for sure it'll be rowdy with attention whores, guys and girls.

Change it up at broadway junction for the L into manhattan once in a while.
Different vibe, but still weird.

I don't want to be anti-semitic or anything but what's wrong with uncircumcised penises bro?

First thing I thought of when I read the thread title:

 

[MrBoombastic]

So wtf is "ashy"?

I've never understood it

 

[Rhood]

I've never understood it

It's slang for dry skin

 

[MrBoombastic]

Nah I understand that, but some people actually look like they've got ash on their bodies. I take it it's an athletic&explosive thing, I just don't really get it

This, but in actual life. I guess it's just uber--dry skin. It's odd at first if you're white and never seen it before.

I head for the quiet carriage when I'm back in the UK. No mobile phones, no ipods, anyone talking talks under their breath. Want to be noisy, go to another carriage. It's lovely.

I had a pretty interesting experience on the train a while back. Most of the train was packed but I managed to get find an empty 3 seater, after the first stop some random bogan came and sat on the other end and was holding a box labelled "FRUIT". However as I soon came to find out it wasn't fruit that he had in there, it was about a dozen bottles of VB beer. I looked at him in shock and he noticed so he asks me "you want one mate?" but I politely declined.

I thought this story was going to go in a completely different direction. I guess it wasn't too far from what I was expecting, though, since crabs were involved.
