People Are Shaming Jerks They Meet On The Subway By Posting These 30 Pics Online
If your city has a metro or train system, you’re probably pretty thankful it’s there. Even if it’s unpredictable and needs a remodel, it’s better than having to deal with city traffic and parking.
That said, there are some people who really take public transport for granted and treat it like it’s their own personal bedroom, bathroom, and… actually, there is no comparison, I don’t know anybody who has a room in their own house where they think it’s appropriate to throw food all over the floor and leave it there.
When you’re using public transport, remember that the “public” means everyone has to use it, and next time, you could be the person getting nail clippings flicked into your lap.

Full Train And People Asking Him To Move But He Was Too *Tired* To Give Them The Seats
Researchers analyzing handrails and other surfaces in the London Underground found an astonishing variety of bacteria that get there by way of human feces, rats, mice, and sewage. Some are even associated with antibiotic-resistant infections.
While the researchers reassure readers that the bacteria won’t be able to get through to most people with healthy immune systems just through skin contact, immunocompromised people, and those who visit people who are, should be extra-careful with hygiene after passing through.

This Jerk Wouldn't Slide Over So The Jeans Guy Could Sit. So He Stood Super Close To Him
In response to the study, a London transport health and safety director argued that the Tube is not significantly dirtier than any other public place in London, which might not be comforting, but it sounds about right.

Not Sure What Was Happening Here, But I Bailed At The Next Stop
As far as the number of unique bacteria found, the New York metro blew London out of the water by the measurements of one study. It mostly paints a similar picture of pathogens that are usually riding around with us in quantities too small to do us harm, but there are some additional residents: New York is ruled by a type of bacteria that’s used to clean up toxic metals from wastewater. Benevolent bacteria used to ferment kimchi and age cheese also like to tag along with metro riders.
In one statistic that's so ominous it's almost funny, researchers also found an abundance of DNA that didn’t match any identifiable organism.

I am disgusted in him smoking on public transport but I am also disturbed by his skullet/mullet. Worst hairstyle EVER.

I've seen this before. She's burning the ends of her wig to make the plaits stay. It's how it's usually done. But not on public transport obviously haha

What Bugs Me Most About This Is That There’s Usually A Super Nice Guy In A Wheelchair Who Stays There And I Bet He Had To Move Because Of This Lovely Person
I delayed a train the other day because I couldn't access the wheelchair area of my train because inconsiderate a**holes had left their luggage in the clearly labeled wheelchair area. The guard getting me on the train had to find the luggage owners and make them move their luggage to the luggage racks (all empty and like 5m away) but the 'lovely' luggage owners refused. It took the guard threatening to call transport police to remove them from the train (wheelchair spaces are protected by law on public transport in Britain) for them to finally and slowly move their stuff. They then loudly moaned when the tannoy announcement said we were now running 10 minutes late, seemingly unable to understand that they delayed us. Was a horrible train journey and I wish people were more considerate to wheelchair designated areas, you never know if you'll end up in a wheelchair one day- I didn't expect to!

This Woman On The Train Occupying 4 Seats. The Train Wasn’t Full And I Understand When You Put Your Bag On The Next Seat But This Is Next Level

Ok, first, are there no employees on those metros? Second, why does everyone simply accept this? I always have people move over and move their bags when I want to sit on a crowded train. I’m not standing for 20+ minutes while someone else uses more than one seat!
I'm not sure about other cities, but NYC MTA personnel do not man the train cars. Also, you take your own life and well-being in to your hands if you ask someone to move or move their stuff.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why I hate people! At least these sort which seem to show up every time I go the the movies.
I live in Seattle and I've seen enough crazy people to just stand and let it go. People like this walk around with a chip on their shoulder and are more than ready to throw down if anyone calls them out on the bs.
I grew up in Seattle too. And one thing I've learned is if you quietly ask them, they will get in your face. You make loud comments and loudly call them out for being an a**hole, it gives the people around you a chance to chime in their agreement. There's power in numbers and you can usually embarrass them enough that they will actually leave altogether. I did this to a woman that thought it was ok to change her kid on the bus and then attempt to leave the dirty diaper behind. I yelled at her to "Get over there and pick that up! Bus driver's shouldn't have to deal with your sh*t!!" And other people agreed saying how disgusting it was. I have no problem calling out a**holes.
The worst offenders really are often looking for a fight. Usually early to mid 20's dudes. That's why I miss being young and rolling deep. When you've got 1/2 dozen of you, you can tell that guy to get up and move and there's zero he can do about it.
I have never seen an employee in the metro trains (other than the driver) in my city, ever. Sometimes I see security guards ride for a few stops but they never actually *do* anything. Then again, my city wasn't pictured...
you are Dutch, arent you Demi :-) I'm glad in Holland you can still ask "can I sit here?" and they will move over. Having said that, I've never seen crazy shit like this in Holland. Its just people taking up more space when the train isnt crowded yet.
When I rode the LRT in my previous city, I hardly ever saw any staff on the trains. Once in a while a transit bylaw officer would walk on to do a random spot check to see if people had paid, but that didn't happen often and almost never at rush hour.
I don't want to be mean but I AM very angry going through the photos
Couldn't watch all of it. Its making me sick
