104 Times People Had To Look Twice To Understand What They Were Seeing On The Subway
If you regularly ride the subway (or are aware of our previous post) you probably know that it's a strange place. One day, a guy brings his pet peacock and you feel like you're visiting a zoo; another there's a crazy Russian riding a fire extinguisher as if he's an on-set Hollywood stuntman. And it's quite useful, too. I mean, think of the long silences you'd have to endure during lunch breaks with your colleagues if no one was sharing their crazy commute stories. Bored Panda has compiled a list of extraordinary subway passengers and if their photos won't make you use the public transport more, nothing will. Scroll down to meet the gang and upvote the ones you'd like to meet the most. Or least. You decide.

A Guy Brought His Peacock Onto The NYC Subway And No One Even Looked Up From Their Phones
I'd just be sitting there staring in awe at the fact there was just some dude going around with a peacock...
Its NYC. After awhile you just get numb to everything.....
Load More Replies...Fun fact: The term peacock is reserved for the male peafowl; the female is known as a peahen, and the immature offspring are sometimes called peachicks. Another fun fact: I don't get invited to parties very often.
Heck man, I'd invite you. Didn't know about peachicks.

Ha been some time since I saw this. It's actually a stuffed taxidermy peacock that was being taken to the Tribeca bar by the bars owner. It's still there.
If I was on that bus that guy wouldn't have any teeth left. ****ing trophy hunters and taxidermists.
Load More Replies...OFFS. You can only spend so much time on a long subway ride staring at the dude carrying a taxidermied peacock.
Looking at their phones...or looking for their camera app on the phone!
I think it's a taxidermied Peacock. That's why it's on that stand.
Or it's an easier way to carry it around, birds are heavier than you would expect and they can accidentally dig their claws into your arm.
Load More Replies...Ever heard one of those call out....they couldn't ignore it then.....
stuffed peacock, mascot for a bar owned by the blonde next to him, search mta peacock guy for the story
.....Until the thing makes its shriek and everyone messes their pants. They are great watchdogs!
This is a first for me, I've seen dogs, cats in carriers but NEVER a bird, and a peacock at that!
Reminds me of the lady who tried bringing her emotional support peacock on the airplane with her.
Is that real? Alive? Or stuffed? Am amazed that a) it's ok to be carried around perched on his hand and b) that the subway staff were ok with this.....
Is it possible to be too much of an HU fan if I see a resemblance of Danny in the dude’s face and hair?
And of course that stupid Katy Perry song went off in my brain "I wanna see your peacock, c**k, c**k" kill me now.
This is sad and awesome at the same time- that people didn't look up= sad and hey, everybody, a peacock on a train! = awesome
Did it occur to anyone that this is another emotional support peacock? Well?
I'm wondering what the contraption the peacock is sitting on is....
They just saw themselves here in this app. And now they feel stupid they missed it in IRL!
As somebody that uses public transport everyday, there isn't much else to do unless you want to carry a book or look off into space. I usually only go on my phone to tell people I'm off on the Underground. But I don't judge others.

Some of these folks are on their way to dress rehearsal, costumed events, or stage/film productions.
I am moving to the country. To a little town with only one coffee shop. I will walk to the coffee shop each day. I will read a local paper that covers the high school baseball team. I will be happy.
Not necessarily. I live in one of those towns. I'm surrounded by backward people who all know each others business and the school system is a joke. Careful what you wish for, Jo! ;)
Load More Replies...only one thing came from this article, and that is... subway's are I-N-T-E-R-E-S-T-I-N-G!
Well, it's nice people feel they have the freedom to express themselves nowadays. How can you be bored in public anymore??
I have been a weirdo on a trolley car in Bergen. I bought a brand new fishtank, 50-60l, and in my jacket a bag of Kuhil louches since it was cold. The trolley started way to fast before I could sit down. thankfully people next to me saw and supported me and the tank. I feel bad for the kid who caught my bag of fishes, he looked so terrifd when he saw a swarm of 10 snakish fish panicing in the bag. Dont have the big tank today but kept 3 of 10 khuli loaches when I had to sell the tank. Their name is Kor-lang(How-Big), Kor-hen(Where) and Kor-stor(How big).
I go to my state's annual anime convention almost every year. The subway which leads to the convention center is jam-packed with things like this.
I love that most of these were taken in NYC--you really do see some bizarre things on the subway. And the streets. And the parks.
