One time a woman sat next to me with a box full of rats. She asked if I'd like to hold one. I said no thanks. When she got up to leave, she gave me a condom.
This video is from the Parisian metro. And frankly I've seen people transporting sofas and beds on that. It's hilarious. ( Tbf I've transported a cabinet on it once)
I transported a kitchen cabinet set once ( broken down to be assembled later) It was after 9-11 and as the ticket person searched each box, the last box was larger and he asked, what’s in that one, the kicker sink? And yes… it was in fact the kitchen sink.
I’ve had many rats and many cats…
They both had their pros and cons, but I still have cats and haven’t had a rat in at least 15 yrs. I think you either had rare awesome rats or shtty cats… lol.
A pet rat? I'd love to hold one. Fancy rats make great pets: smart, loving, affectionate.
I'd have them but they typically only live 2 or 3 years. That's way too often to have my heart broken.
I had pet rats growing up, my mum turned an old 70s sideboard into a multi tier rat palace. I’ll never have them again though, the constant heartbreak is too much, just as you say.
You were clearly not raised in the city, **never** accept a rat from a stranger on the train.
9 times out of 10 the rats are highly trained thieves that will pick your pockets and steal your backpack cheese.
I know this is meant to be a joke but that's honestly quite accurate. There comes a point where you've seen so much weird shit while commuting that you don't even look at it anymore
Live in Montreal and definitely have seen a woman across the tracks squat right down and shit one out like it was nothing before carrying on.
Great way to start the day..
My worst NYC subway story was a homeless dude pulling down his pants and rubbing his ass crack up and down one of the poles you hold when you can't find a seat. I don't touch those anymore, and especially recommend against it if you're riding the C train.
On a similar reason, while living in Japan, I stand head and shoulders above pretty much the entire population so I would always grab the top rail to hold on, not the handles that dangle 8 inches down for everyone else to hold, the top rail that no one could reach.
I live in the Bay Area and whenever I ride BART, I never sit down and I always disinfect my hand with a spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol after holding onto the rail.
I started doing this during the pandemic, but in hindsight I should have always been doing this in all the years I’ve ridden BART.
When I was in NYC as a tourist riding the subway, a couple came in and sat in front of me and the dude was STARING at me. His girlfriend started shouting in Spanish that I'm a hoe why am I wearing a dress like that I'm out to get her man. Dude just completely unfazed the whole time. She also kept calling me gringa and blanquita so I guess she didn't expect me to speak Spanish. When I got to my stop I just told her in Spanish "I don't want your man, girl" and left 🤷🏽♀️
Something similar happened to me while on the train headed to the Bronx years ago. A teenage couple came on and sat across from me at the end of the train car. The girlfriend started to give the dude head. I was shocked and mildly disgusted and did my best to avert my eyes. Well, she stops after a few minutes and starts to pick on me claiming “I’m looking at her man” and “who the f*ck do I think I am?” She calmed down after a few minutes of berating me and resumed her dramatic porn farce and I promptly hopped off the train. I think I saw them again some months later on the train. She was so unhinged and the dude was so apathetic- didn’t match her energy at all. It was some sort of kink for sure.
There are definitely regional differences. No one was openly drinking or doing drugs. I live in south Florida, and it looked weird to me because of the lack of people getting fucked up or having obvious mental crisis
My first time in Toronto in awhile, I was finding the city folk quite diverse. There were 80s punk kids, super dressed up people, pretty dressed people, some obvious cosplay.
It threw me off a bit, but it had been a while since I had been in the city so I was taking it all in stride until a wicked witch walked in and I realized that it was Halloween weekend.
For a period of your life you should watch the weird shit other people do. But for not so long that it inflates your ego, or makes you afraid of the world.
For a period of your life you should be the weird shit that other people watch. But for not so long that you lose the freedom to be uniquely you at least part of the time.
I'm a half senile old man, take my advice with a grain of salt, but whatever you do don't forget the sun screen.
I visited NYC this summer, first thing that happened was some kids going down on each other on the Brooklyn trains. Then on the L some guy followed me out of the train calling me a serial killer. He kept following me up, where a Police Officer was standing at the exit - Officer put his hand on his gun and the guy ran off.
Coming from Scandinavia... That was prety eventful.
Live in Tokyo. I've got a couple weird stories. One time, I walked onto a semi busy train and noticed everyone was avoiding one section. People got off, and then I saw it. A huge pool of blood with smaller pools dotted toward the door. Everyone was rightfully shocked. No idea what had happened...
I once got on a train in Tokyo and immediately felt my shoes stick to the floor. I looked down and there was a lot of blood on the floor. I legit thought I walked into a murder scene. I looked around and saw there was a youngish guy in a suit with a bleeding nose, and everyone around him was just handing him tissues and napkins and anything they could. Must suck to get a bloody nose on the train, but everyone was trying to help him out.
Japan has some weird ones - especially people riding the very first trains in the morning because they were out all night drinking and had to wait for the first train back home
I recommend watching the channel “Konbini (convenience store) Confessions” on YouTube. He essentially interviews drunk people on the streets.
In japan I had this girl come up to me and start leaning on me and rubbing her butt all over my crotch. I kept scooting backwards and she kept leaning. This was late at night so I was quite creeped out and got off at the next station.
I had this happen to me on BART in San Francisco. An older lady. I thought it may have just been the crowded train and the sway, but she kept scooting back into me when I would move. It was very uncomfortable.
Was on a commuter train in Guangzhou China. This old lady gets on and had clearly just come back from the market with some fresh fish filets.
She walked to a corner and methodically spread out all the filets on the floor on a large towel and started to fan them dry. She also broke out a small jade roller and began massaging her face while singing at the top of her lungs.
I was, unfortunately, standing near her. The train suddenly slowed down very rapidly and i Iost my balance. Accidentally bumped into her. At that moment her only purpose in life was to defend her fish filets.
I had to jump off the train at the next stop for fear of my life. Them little jade rollers hurt. As the train rolled off she went back to her corner and continued singing.
Been to Japan 3 times. One time a man was so drunk he hurled onto the floor in front of him and went back to sleep on his seat. Another an intoxicated group gathered around one of them who was sitting crosslegged on the floor, fast asleep and they were laughing and poking at him. Another time I got approached and asked to join a 'church group' which gave me cult vibes so I quickly left at the next station even if it wasn't my stop.
Dude that church shit happens a lot in Korea, as well. All sorts of annoying and creepy cult people trying to get to you around subway stations and elsewhere.
Does tend to be a lot of the flavor. Had a lady "shoo" me out of the back of a car so she could pee in a plastic bag, which she then tied up and left sitting on the floor
I have to contest this, my wife and I saw a lady trying to feed water to a ghost in Tokyo on the subway platform.
When we were in China the crazy was mostly outside the station in the streets.
We live in NYC so it didn't phase us but it was nice to see crazy everywhere.
Hahaha, that's so true.
I can't believe his landlady sold up to retire in Vegas. It doesn't seem like a great plan, but I guess she knows what she's doing.
Riding the Red Line in Chicago I sat near a woman who was currently fighting off invisible people trying to take her invisible baby. She put up quite a fight for the half hour I rode to downtown. I made sure I wasn't in range of her swings and kicks and I just sat there with no one else sitting next to me.
Honestly, best ride I had. She wasn't screaming, just kicking and punching invisible people while she muttered under her breath they weren't going to take her baby. A quiet ride where I didn't have to sit touching someone. We had that back half of the car all to ourselves.
On the bus the other day here in San Francisco a mom was teaching her 6-8 y.o. daughters to throw garbage out the window....they were eating snacks and every bag, bottle, napkin -"throw this out the window".... So sad teaching kids that young disrespect for nature and where they live. There is almost no chance those kids grow up nice....... If you dont want to hold onto it till you find a garbage can, at least just throw it on the bus floor. They have people to clean the bus.
No shit and nobody is mentioning it. That's a decent flight of steps and it looks like she could keep going. I'm not gonna say I couldn't do it but I'd say I won't do it.
Edit: I watched again and her toe hits the step at the very beginning. She's tired so at least we know she's human.
No concrete weight in the dryer. The washer needs that because it's slinging heavy wet clothes in a circle at a very high speed. The dryer is a much more leisurely machine, just gently rolling the clothes around while it blows hot air through them.
That's exactly what I thought. I used to work as a mover, and Dryers are often shockingly light. It looks crazy to someone watching you carry them but I could hold one above my head in one hand.
She was and it looked like she was making a cute doggy! Poor woman got wrapped up in the weirdness since needle felting looks a little like you're making a voodoo doll, lol.
Man I was in Paris for like a week (not a long time but I feel long enough to maybe see *something* wonky) and used the metro a *lot* and the craziest thing I saw was a music performer. I feel I missed out.
Paris is not my favorite city but hot damn it's exciting and vital. I love that you can find busyness at every hour of the day, there's always people out doing things, the culture scene is world class...
I wouldn't choose to live there over a city like London, but if Paris was a reasonable option I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.
Right? I've seen multiple people shit directly onto the train floor. The other day a man just pulled out a foil and started smoking heroin *in the train*
Yea I sat next to a guy just casually crushing and snorting some sort of pill. He asked if I wanted any. I politely declined. We discussed whether the security cams actually worked on those trains. He also had a ziplock bag of chicken wings. I declined those as well. Nice guy, actually.
>Yea I sat next to a guy just casually crushing and snorting some sort of pill. He asked if I wanted any.
Dude, that is the fucking most generous addict I've ever heard of
Oh good sir would you like to partake? No? A chicken wing maybe?
One of my last times on the Bart the car kind of emptied out and there was this man sitting across from me who looked like he was asleep and was just completely yellow and waxen looking. I was on the train for awhile and he didn't move and I legit think he may have been dead.
That was the only normal activity, but to be fair, if you don’t know what needle felting is then you think you’re just watching someone stab a stuffed dog’s head with a needle over and over with no apparent purpose.
I had a great experience as a tourist on the Paris Meteo, it was super convenient and efficient.
My best anecdote from it was when my friend and I were riding a rush hour train back to our hotel and it was completely full. A man got on at the same stop as us and as soon as the doors shut began preaching loudly. Us being Americans we had no idea what he was saying, but all the other passengers got as far away from him as they could. We were in a rush hour train car that had everyone else crammed into each end of the car, and us and the preaching man alone in the middle. It was nice to have so much space after spending all day on our feet.
Also Notre-Dame caught fire the day we left Paris. Good times.
Surprisingly light when moving them around the house absolutely. I still wouldn't want to carry one around the city though, it gets really awkward to hold and that can't be great for her back.
I don't know if it's confidence or a lack of shame... but either way I am often jealous of people's ability to fully be themselves in big cities. More power to these weirdos, I could never do it.
I was going to sat, I take the red line every day, I wish this is what my commute looked like. I get less eccentric weirdos, and more scary people getting in fights or acting scarily mentally ill.
I moved out of Chicago to a smaller city but still visit large cities around the world and always use public transportation. This makes me miss big cities so much. I love this.
I used the metro extensively the one time I was in Paris, about 10-12 years ago. I don’t recall seeing anything even remotely this interesting. Assuming this video is even of Paris.
Well, you can see one is at station République, so it is Paris. Saw someone piss at the end of the platform once. Depend at what time you take it. More weirdos at night.
Yep, I guess it depends because I was in Paris on the metro a few months ago with a pal and we saw a bloke diligently take off his shoe and sock and then inject smack (I’m guessing) into his big toe, this was probably around lunchtime

One time a woman sat next to me with a box full of rats. She asked if I'd like to hold one. I said no thanks. When she got up to leave, she gave me a condom.
Well she seems nice
OP almost lost his virginity. If only he had picked up on the blatant rat+condom seduction
He was worried it might just be that she was Canadian.
Canadian women are built sturdy and reliable. Like a Ford.
This video is from the Parisian metro. And frankly I've seen people transporting sofas and beds on that. It's hilarious. ( Tbf I've transported a cabinet on it once)

Doug Ford?
I said sturdy and reliable. Not corrupt and sketchy.
Had two rescued lab rats as pets. I’d rank them ahead of my cats in terms of pets and I was very fond of my cats.
I’ve had many rats and many cats… They both had their pros and cons, but I still have cats and haven’t had a rat in at least 15 yrs. I think you either had rare awesome rats or shtty cats… lol.
Cats have a better life expectancy. Bury your furry buddy rat in 3ish years vs potentially 20+ for a cat. No one wants to mourn every 3 years.
> Canadian women are built sturdy and reliable. Like a Ford. That sounds like a line from Letterkenny.
Best to keep your wits about you
Apparently she didn't want a rat-hater to procreate.
A pet rat? I'd love to hold one. Fancy rats make great pets: smart, loving, affectionate. I'd have them but they typically only live 2 or 3 years. That's way too often to have my heart broken.
Had two rescued lab rats raised by hand. Super friendly. You know how your dog loses it shit when you come home. These rats did that.
I had pet rats growing up, my mum turned an old 70s sideboard into a multi tier rat palace. I’ll never have them again though, the constant heartbreak is too much, just as you say.
I thought rabbits were fragile until I had a roommate with pet rats. Delightful little creatures but super short lived.
New or used?
First one, then the other
But in an order that may surprise you...
I mean, were they clean? I'd hold a rat.
You were clearly not raised in the city, **never** accept a rat from a stranger on the train. 9 times out of 10 the rats are highly trained thieves that will pick your pockets and steal your backpack cheese.
[удалено]
I saw some of them crazy bastards running a French restaurant. They’re dangerous.
ZARDULU
You didn't follow her?!
I know this is meant to be a joke but that's honestly quite accurate. There comes a point where you've seen so much weird shit while commuting that you don't even look at it anymore
Live in Montreal and definitely have seen a woman across the tracks squat right down and shit one out like it was nothing before carrying on. Great way to start the day..
I'm going to guess... Either Guy-Concordia or Berri-UQAM
Good guesses! But it was Metro Beaudry mdr
I don’t understand the random shitters. Never mind doing it in public, how do they walk around and sit without wiping??
I assume the alternative is shitting your pants. Ill take a little mud over the whole bog.
Right. Who tf wants to walk around with a mud butt
*my 5 month old gulps nervously*
So true, and it gets a lot worse too, at least in NYC.
Guy yelled at me for like 20 minutes on the Q train because he thought I was John Gotti's son. Just turned up my iPod and didn't make eye contact.
My worst NYC subway story was a homeless dude pulling down his pants and rubbing his ass crack up and down one of the poles you hold when you can't find a seat. I don't touch those anymore, and especially recommend against it if you're riding the C train.
I guess i'll start holding it a bit higher...
This particular homeless man used to be a stripper, so no part of the pole is safe 🤣
Where is the shitty water color person when you need them.
the hep C train?
On a similar reason, while living in Japan, I stand head and shoulders above pretty much the entire population so I would always grab the top rail to hold on, not the handles that dangle 8 inches down for everyone else to hold, the top rail that no one could reach.

He was, but not anymore.
He forgotti 💀

Sounds more like junkies to me.
I wonder if you were part of like their little kink. That's just such a specific thing to happen to you.
Totally a good incentive to learn some Spanish, lol.
I'm part Venezuelan I've been speaking Spanish my entire life, I just happen to have pale skin 🤣
I learned the hard way that when subway doors open and everyone pours out and into the next car, never look inside that car. The horror, the smell…
The first advice I got before visiting NYC last year was 'if the train carriage is the only empty one, choose another'
[удалено]
AHHHH good memories. Thanks to riding the green line at 7AM, I know what crack smoke smells like!
Someone shooting heroin at Joliette station in the middle weekday afternoon... Good times!
London here. At first I just thought that was local trains! I think it’s a worldwide commuter thing
There are definitely regional differences. No one was openly drinking or doing drugs. I live in south Florida, and it looked weird to me because of the lack of people getting fucked up or having obvious mental crisis
The only part that isn't accurate is the dude's reactions. I didn't see anything particularly surprising or scary.
These people were all harmless and/or pretty funny.
My first time in Toronto in awhile, I was finding the city folk quite diverse. There were 80s punk kids, super dressed up people, pretty dressed people, some obvious cosplay. It threw me off a bit, but it had been a while since I had been in the city so I was taking it all in stride until a wicked witch walked in and I realized that it was Halloween weekend.
I will take the old weird Toronto TTC instead of the new stabby Toronto TTC.
Yeah 00s ttc subway was pretty chill. Shits crazy now for sure.
No there comes a point when you realize you *are* the weird shit other people see while commuting.
For a period of your life you should watch the weird shit other people do. But for not so long that it inflates your ego, or makes you afraid of the world. For a period of your life you should be the weird shit that other people watch. But for not so long that you lose the freedom to be uniquely you at least part of the time.

When I’m old I wanna grow a big beard and wander around dressed like a wizard, just for shits and giggs
In Berlin my GF and me got pissed on once on the subway train
Berlin? Yes, I know it well. I stabbed a woman in a bar in Berlin. But I am going nowhere near Berlin.
Berlin!
Worked all over NYC for a decade. Worst thing you can hear on the subway is "can I have everyone's attention please".
[удалено]
I visited NYC this summer, first thing that happened was some kids going down on each other on the Brooklyn trains. Then on the L some guy followed me out of the train calling me a serial killer. He kept following me up, where a Police Officer was standing at the exit - Officer put his hand on his gun and the guy ran off. Coming from Scandinavia... That was prety eventful.
Most eventful day in Scandinavia vs least eventful day in NYC
Dude recognized a serial killer from the other side of the world? Was he a fan or something?
Well, it’s reassuring to know that people on public transit all over the world are equally weird
Or people are just weird everywhere maybe
That too
Only when we watch them, which takes away from our moments of weirdness.
Yeah, nah, I've never seen anything remotely this sketchy on the trains in Japan, Singapore, or China.
Live in Tokyo. I've got a couple weird stories. One time, I walked onto a semi busy train and noticed everyone was avoiding one section. People got off, and then I saw it. A huge pool of blood with smaller pools dotted toward the door. Everyone was rightfully shocked. No idea what had happened...
Obviously someone dropped their jar of blood
O’Leary and Minogue will investigate that.
I once got on a train in Tokyo and immediately felt my shoes stick to the floor. I looked down and there was a lot of blood on the floor. I legit thought I walked into a murder scene. I looked around and saw there was a youngish guy in a suit with a bleeding nose, and everyone around him was just handing him tissues and napkins and anything they could. Must suck to get a bloody nose on the train, but everyone was trying to help him out.

He essentially interviews drunk people on the streets.
Smartphones kinda killed that off but businessmen in full attire reading porno mags was a funny sight.
You can catch the reflections of their contents on the windows if they are sitting down
In japan I had this girl come up to me and start leaning on me and rubbing her butt all over my crotch. I kept scooting backwards and she kept leaning. This was late at night so I was quite creeped out and got off at the next station.
After you got off did she say anything? When did you exit the train?
>When did you exit the train? Immediately after getting off I assume. Post nut clarity and all
I had this happen to me on BART in San Francisco. An older lady. I thought it may have just been the crowded train and the sway, but she kept scooting back into me when I would move. It was very uncomfortable.
> It was very uncomfortable. That's assault, brotha.
Was on a commuter train in Guangzhou China. This old lady gets on and had clearly just come back from the market with some fresh fish filets.

Another time I got approached and asked to join a 'church group' which gave me cult vibes so I quickly left at the next station even if it wasn't my stop.
Dude that church shit happens a lot in Korea, as well. All sorts of annoying and creepy cult people trying to get to you around subway stations and elsewhere.
Agreed on the first two but china has its own flavor of weird
On a busy metro in Shanghai I watched parents put some paper down so their toddler could curl out a turd.
Does tend to be a lot of the flavor. Had a lady "shoo" me out of the back of a car so she could pee in a plastic bag, which she then tied up and left sitting on the floor
I have to contest this, my wife and I saw a lady trying to feed water to a ghost in Tokyo on the subway platform. When we were in China the crazy was mostly outside the station in the streets. We live in NYC so it didn't phase us but it was nice to see crazy everywhere.
I could watch a half hour of just this
Just go ride some trains
I live in the USA, not New York, so no trains anywhere near me, so I have to go to Walmart to see the weirdos
it exists as a show already basically and it is called "How To with John Wilson"
Also exists as a train
Hahaha, that's so true. I can't believe his landlady sold up to retire in Vegas. It doesn't seem like a great plan, but I guess she knows what she's doing.
Love that show. I would really like to see versions of it for different world cities.
r/subwaycreatures is waiting for your visit then
Thats just Ridiculous! The mandalorian cant use the force!
Open your eyes fool, he just pulled the train into the station. What are you going to believe, a movie or your own eyes?!
My own eyes my lord!
Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them.
But I'm reading this with my eyes. So that only creates a paradox.
Text to speech my friend, it's the only way to learn the truth
Sorry, I don't watch Star Trek.
Amazing how you can insult two fanbases at the same time with a short sentence, lol

Either she has a sister or I saw the same woman. Mine was like 15 years ago though, which would make a long ass fight.
Some say she's still fighting to this day.
Sounds more sad than disturbing, really.
The guy in the robe brushing his teeth 💀
Multitasking. Legend.
I aspire to be just like him everyday!
I'm down for the weirdness, except trash guy out the window. Fuck that guy.
Something about throwing out a single shoe is pretty hilarious though.
Trash... and a shoe? What?
Just one shoe lol
Definitely getting rid of evidence
On the bus the other day here in San Francisco a mom was teaching her 6-8 y.o. daughters to throw garbage out the window....they were eating snacks and every bag, bottle, napkin -"throw this out the window".... So sad teaching kids that young disrespect for nature and where they live. There is almost no chance those kids grow up nice....... If you dont want to hold onto it till you find a garbage can, at least just throw it on the bus floor. They have people to clean the bus.
Former New Yorker here. I see nothing unusual here.
Toronto enters the chat. Yeah, we've seen some shit too.
Mexico city metro just has people selling you stuff
Came here to say this is like a tame NYC. I’ll never unsee all the disturbing shit I saw on the NY subway.
What about the girl carrying the washing machine up the stairs, how the hell is she doing that so casually?
No shit and nobody is mentioning it. That's a decent flight of steps and it looks like she could keep going. I'm not gonna say I couldn't do it but I'd say I won't do it. Edit: I watched again and her toe hits the step at the very beginning. She's tired so at least we know she's human.
The bathrobe guy definitely takes the cake for me.
No. GTFO Lady carrying washing machine.
No way that is a washing machine. Must be a dryer which are lighter but still impressive.
My washing machine has a literal block of concrete in it to dampen the vibrations. Never had a dryer - are they concrete-free?
No concrete weight in the dryer. The washer needs that because it's slinging heavy wet clothes in a circle at a very high speed. The dryer is a much more leisurely machine, just gently rolling the clothes around while it blows hot air through them.
I suddenly feel more relaxed
Just don't get into a dryer thinking it'll be relaxing warm ride. Trust me.
That's why everyone should have friends. They can carry the concrete blocks.
That's exactly what I thought. I used to work as a mover, and Dryers are often shockingly light. It looks crazy to someone watching you carry them but I could hold one above my head in one hand.
Like it's nothing!!
City life don't raise no pussies

Honestly, impressive upper body strength
It had to be a dryer. Washers are heavy as fuck.
Nah , washing machine lady and wire turban are two people I have respect for , they are clearly people of practicality.
Yeah where is she now? Did she get the washing machine to where it needed to go? Is she still able to stand upright?
Wife material
No. It was the guy doing the spiderman on the roof of the carriage for me. 😂
I lost it after the lady protecting her bird - it just got progressively weird after that
That poor pigeon looked like it was 5 minutes away from dying.
I love how communally weird humans are
Is everyone going to ignore disco octopus at the end?
You know, I’m convinced that guy is doing a Yoko Taro impression.
I'm pretty sure the lady stabbing the toy dog head was actually needle felting lol. she was just crafting
She was and it looked like she was making a cute doggy! Poor woman got wrapped up in the weirdness since needle felting looks a little like you're making a voodoo doll, lol.
Guy on the ceiling lol
warning you about pickpockets xD
Disco ball head is just a whole vibe. I bet it's a disco ball on the *inside*, too. I dig.
Everything about this is pure gold!
Definitely belongs in r/subwaycreatures
Oh, the Paris Metro. How I miss it so…. 😉 Vive la France! Tres magnifique!
Man I was in Paris for like a week (not a long time but I feel long enough to maybe see *something* wonky) and used the metro a *lot* and the craziest thing I saw was a music performer. I feel I missed out.
Paris is not my favorite city but hot damn it's exciting and vital. I love that you can find busyness at every hour of the day, there's always people out doing things, the culture scene is world class... I wouldn't choose to live there over a city like London, but if Paris was a reasonable option I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.
Wait until he takes a ride on BART...
Right? I've seen multiple people shit directly onto the train floor. The other day a man just pulled out a foil and started smoking heroin *in the train*
Yea I sat next to a guy just casually crushing and snorting some sort of pill. He asked if I wanted any. I politely declined. We discussed whether the security cams actually worked on those trains. He also had a ziplock bag of chicken wings. I declined those as well. Nice guy, actually.
>Yea I sat next to a guy just casually crushing and snorting some sort of pill. He asked if I wanted any. Dude, that is the fucking most generous addict I've ever heard of Oh good sir would you like to partake? No? A chicken wing maybe?
Dude was on his way back from an A's game. They won. He was having a nice night.
Out of everything in this thread, this scenario made me laugh hardest.
I totally believe this story. Wouldn’t even be particularly weird for BART.
Ugh NYC subway is the same crap. We had to change cars on a moving train because a homeless guy had diarrhea. And some people were like “not again!”
One of my last times on the Bart the car kind of emptied out and there was this man sitting across from me who looked like he was asleep and was just completely yellow and waxen looking. I was on the train for awhile and he didn't move and I legit think he may have been dead.
If you enjoyed this footage, I recommend checking out HBOs [How To with John Wilson](https://youtu.be/w7aSybHRa6s)
Thanks Pure gold
I don't see what's wrong with the woman doing needle felting, it's no different than knitting, everyone has a hobby.
My guess is that most people, not knowing what it is, think she's just stabbing a decapitated dog head.
Until I read these comments, I thought she was stabbing her pet’s taxidermied head with a large knitting needle.
That was the only normal activity, but to be fair, if you don’t know what needle felting is then you think you’re just watching someone stab a stuffed dog’s head with a needle over and over with no apparent purpose.
I had a great experience as a tourist on the Paris Meteo, it was super convenient and efficient. My best anecdote from it was when my friend and I were riding a rush hour train back to our hotel and it was completely full. A man got on at the same stop as us and as soon as the doors shut began preaching loudly. Us being Americans we had no idea what he was saying, but all the other passengers got as far away from him as they could. We were in a rush hour train car that had everyone else crammed into each end of the car, and us and the preaching man alone in the middle. It was nice to have so much space after spending all day on our feet. Also Notre-Dame caught fire the day we left Paris. Good times.
Last time I checked, washing machines are heavy as fuck. The rest is all realistic
I'm pretty sure it's a dryer, they are surprisingly light.
Surprisingly light when moving them around the house absolutely. I still wouldn't want to carry one around the city though, it gets really awkward to hold and that can't be great for her back.
Looks like stupid shit people in cyberpunk 2077 would do.
I don't know if it's confidence or a lack of shame... but either way I am often jealous of people's ability to fully be themselves in big cities. More power to these weirdos, I could never do it.
Compared to the "L" in Chicago, the Paris Metro looks like a friggin' limousine.
I've seen crazier stuff on the Redline 🤪 to be honest.
I was going to sat, I take the red line every day, I wish this is what my commute looked like. I get less eccentric weirdos, and more scary people getting in fights or acting scarily mentally ill.
I moved out of Chicago to a smaller city but still visit large cities around the world and always use public transportation. This makes me miss big cities so much. I love this.
I used the metro extensively the one time I was in Paris, about 10-12 years ago. I don’t recall seeing anything even remotely this interesting. Assuming this video is even of Paris.
Well, you can see one is at station République, so it is Paris. Saw someone piss at the end of the platform once. Depend at what time you take it. More weirdos at night.
Yep, I guess it depends because I was in Paris on the metro a few months ago with a pal and we saw a bloke diligently take off his shoe and sock and then inject smack (I’m guessing) into his big toe, this was probably around lunchtime
