Tits out there, bam. I was too late on the draw with my phone to take a picture, but she smiled at me as she passed and I saw that she had a think black mustache painted on her face with eyeliner maybe. And as I watched her go down the block, here came a couple of officers. New York Minute!

[5] that's my feeling too. if it is crazy hot and i feel dehydrated i would drink water on the train but otherwise i don't want to consume anything in there. i usually move away from someone holding coffee or a hot beverage.

A quick slice, even a hot dog... But, dude, put the yogurt away. I draw the line at utensils. A quick slice, even a hot dog… But, dude, put the yogurt away.

I can't stand tuna though. Make me punch-you-in-the-face angry. Otherwise though, I always thought it was kind of cool, how someone could feel so comfortable in a public place, smushed in, just doing their morning thing. It always struck me that it was folks who were born and raised on the train that could do that stuff. As long as no one’s eating tuna, I’m okay with food, makeup, drinks on the subway.

One thing; a personal opinion on the esthetics of consuming. Food and drink do not have the optimum taste, smell, or feel when consumed in the stinking, noisy, physically jerking, and socially oppressive environment of the subway. We don't expect our favorite restaurants to transport us anywhere. If you are that famished or thirsty, and have no other time to consume then on the subway, then have at it. But it would be better for you (and your fellow riders) to wait for a more favorable place. Don’t get me started.

I have a friend who straight up tells people, "Look, I'm an angry person. I'm telling you now, if that spills on me I'm going to lose my shit." The people move away. I don't have the nerve to carry that out. I have seen them and ALWAYS fear a disaster when someone near me is holding a hot beverage.
