Utter-ances: Subway Stories Of Hygiene: →
odetodeb:
I’m sitting, while reading a novel. Next to me, a guy with some green similar to slack pants starts shifting side to side as he stands. I see a puddle of liquid accumulating at the bottom of his feet. I see the liquid is running out of his pant leg. He proceeds to get off at Grand Army the instant he finishes. The strange thing is that the pants are probably water repellent, because...

Fly on, little wing: Bewildered →
mylittlewing:
I’ve had a number of bizarre conversations in my life but this one ranks highest.
The scene: It’s 11:30 pm and I’m on the D going uptown. At the West 4th stop I exchange glances with a man about 25 or so on the platform. It happens all the time — you hold the gaze of a complete stranger and look away. However, what ensued was well beyond the ordinary…it was extraordinary.
Him:...

Check out this incredible story from our pals at Fox 5 NY:
Sabrina Scott went down into a subway station on East Broadway in Chinatown Friday night never expecting to be attacked.
In an exclusive interview from her Bellevue hospital bed, she talked about the mystery hero who rescued her from the tracks, and then vanished into the night. “It means a lot to me, because he saved...

The article says that it took 20 min for someone who could work the hydraulic platform to get there. Now, there are always people who do stupid shit, but it’s because of cutbacks that this guy was here for half an hour.

Dear Evil Subway Baby,
sincerelyconcerned:
You’re sitting across from me right now, ridiculing me with your expression. You’re looking at me as if you know all of secrets; you’ve seen all of the things I’ve never wanted to surface. Sure, you might just be pooping your diaper, but I think there’s more to that face than poop pains. I hate you little baby.
Sincerely, Concerned

talesfromthemta:
Despite fare hikes, the MTA has cut those maroon-vested station agents from 17 Brooklyn subway stations, effective yesterday. The affected stations include the Prospect Park B/Q station, where cops allegedly sodomized a man back in October 2008. Abandoned subway entrances will have intercoms patched into the 24-hour booth, but residents are uneasy, and one commuter at the Utica...

talesfromthemta:
The agency that brought you images of missing fingers and blackened lungs has a new health warning on tap - glasses filled with fat.
Billboards going up in the subway today show streams of sugary drinks turning into glistening yellow globs of human fat, mottled with blood vessels and served on ice.

Naked pole dancer on the L train
talesfromthemta:
A strip club isn’t the only place in town you can see a pole dance — amazed passengers on an L train watched in awe as a naked young woman competed with straphangers for space on a pole.
The performance by actress Jocelyn Saldana, 19, lasted just 30 seconds, and some of the passengers probably thought they were hallucinating or dreaming.
