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.
The bus driver watching loud porn on his phone and cheering them on loud enough for the whole bus to hear.
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 was with you until that last part.
I think it’s gross … Because of the gross stuff that’s probably on every surface in a public transit environment.
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.
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.
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.
People just pissing on the floor in NYC/Boston subways. Not really that unusual.
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.
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.
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.
Two, both on the same bus ride:
Old guy comes on with a cart and starts selling cotton candy, with surprising success. 50 cents, and the rest of the ride people are just all enjoying cotton candy in violation of no eating rules (especially sticky stuff).
Girl, probably around 16ish, on a loud phone call with someone in regards to a boyfriend in prison with increasingly more depressing and dire details as the ride goes on except a random moment where she talked about Fortnite. We’re talking drugs, pregnancy, other women, and Fortnite.
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.
There’s probably a lot of crazy stuff happen in Vancouver buses. Vancouver is transit centric, so from the mid-upper class to the poor and mentally ill uses the transit
The last one that I remember was early this year. I was riding the community bus (a 24 passenger, single exit bus, ) and one of the passenger looked like he hasn’t showered or changed clothes in days.
The bus bumped into something and the drive stopped and told everyone he had to stop and wait for the transit supervisor.
The guy then started screaming “WHY” several times to the driver and tried to pee on the driver. Luckily there’s a plastic barrier (from Covid days) so the driver’s safe. After that he probably realized he did something bad and walked out of the bus- 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
Take some big rips from a bong while driving.
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.
Dude on the train runs a successful business selling plain white socks. See him hustling nearly every day.
How much a pair?
