25 New Yorkers Confess the Craziest Things They Saw On the Subway

One day I was super hungover headed to work, getting on a crowded subway, and I see a big space. I’m zonked and about to sit, when a woman grabs my arm and points at a huge pile of fresh puke. The trains too crowded to move, so I ride the hour to work standing up, smelling the puke, in sheer misery. But the worst part was, coming home from work, I get on the train (this time more empty) and sit down…directly across from the same pile of puke. One in a million odds.

I think the most disturbing thing I’ve seen recently was a pregnant woman wearing sweatpants and a sports bra, belly hanging out, doubled over leaning on a mezzanine railing smoking a cigarette and zoned out like she was on heroin.

My mom once got on the subway in the 70s and saw a giant pool of still-wet blood on the floor.

I think it was an uptown 2 train out of Brooklyn; had to be like 2AM. I’m alone on the platform save for a lonely Russian girl looking like she’s going out clubbing. As soon as the train pulls up, I’m perplexed as to why she darts toward another car. I enter the train and see it’s totally empty except for one lone, super-tall and thin naked guy with a beard so long it dragged on the seat. He’s surrounded by huge garbage bags full of stuffed animals. This guy is seriously taking up like half the train car with his stuffed animal bags and beard.

A trio of (inebriated) girls are in the corner seats being retardedly annoying and one of them is just fucking wasted. Suddenly one of the not so wasted one of them yells “Help! My friend is going to throw up does someone have a bag?!?” No one really responds, except for some tard who hands them a pizza box. So they position this open, empty box of pizza infront of her. So drunk girl initially hits the target, but her friends can’t hold the box steady so it comes pouring out the sides. They drop the box, get out the way (giggling obnoxiously the whole time), and she starts spewing on the floor and seats.
