On the D train, a guy was asking for money since he was hungry. I handed him a slice of pizza in tin foil I had grabbed in the Bronx. He looked at it, threw it on the ground and yelled "I'm a vegetarian! I only want green!". When the subway was coming to a stop, he fell on the ground and starting rolling around. He didn't have a belt on, nor underwear, so his penis was flopping around. My mom kicked it and got off at the stop. She doesn't like wasting food nor seeing strange penises.

In Manhattan, I was riding the train to the Bronx and some wacko starting yelling about peoples' physical characteristics. After hearing this for a bit, I get annoyed; by now, he was really giving it to some Mexicans girls who didn't speak english, soliciting sex. At every stop, he would hop on the platform for a second and yell something or other. By the time I was near 59th St, the girls were looking worried, so when the guy hopped off to yell, I waited until he turned around and punched him in the stomach and pushed him off the train. The door closed as he was catching his breath for the first time in 20 minutes.

Many more stories...

I think you and your mom handled yourselves well, we all feel like doing that at one point or another.

Late '70s, I'm waiting on the platform. Suddenly I feel a hand grab my ankle Mod cut. Look down, it's a dude on a skateboard rolling past: his body ended at his stomach, there was nothing below.

Be jealous!

Nope, it's true. That image is burned into my skull.

A few weeks ago my friend and I had just gotten onto a crowded train and grabbed the bar when a woman (who looked as if she were going to grab the bar as well) scratched my friend's hand, which we thought was an accident. The woman then scurried off to a seat a few feet away. A few minutes later during the ride the same lady gets up, quickly walked over to my friend and obnoxiously coughs in her face (!!), and then sits right back down.

When we got off the train my friend realized she had been scratched so hard she was bleeding. Clearly not an accident. We were pretty shaken.

Early this summer, I saw a 20's something guy who was so drunk, he was upright passed out while puking all over himself. It was so weird, he didn't even move an inch either way, he looked like an upright zombie. Someone checked his pulse and he was alive but he obviously had some type of alcohol poisoning. This story doesn't sound as crazy as the others but by being there, you would have freaked out.
In Chicago(Sorry, I know this is NYC) this summer, there was this young couple arguing and all of the sudden, the male began to pummel his girlfriend into the floor. We all had to run to break it up and he tried to fight us. I need to stop being brave while drunk, its going to get me in trouble one day.
