It takes a lot to make New York look up and take notice, especially on the morning commute. If you’re not getting hurt, read on your phone and wait for your stop. So while we’re laughing at this red-clad dude making an upside-down ride into the city for the day, no one else in his vicinity seems to have even noticed.
This is probably not the first person they’ve seen hanging from the inside of a train car. Once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. This is not the “Subway Maniac” incident they were looking for. It is for sure not.
Black Bird Singing
It's a little Edgar Allen Poe, but who can blame a girl for embracing her inner poetry? At least her pet seems to be behaving himself on their joint ride home. She's following the rules of a responsible pet owner, that bird is definitely on a leash. Props to her for following protocol and having a well-behaved bird.
People wouldn't complain so much if all animal travelers were as well-behaved. We have seen human children behave far worse. Perhaps it's time we acknowledge the grace of these feathered companions and recognize their potential as delightful travel partners, inspiring more responsible pet ownership across the board.
Big Foot, Is that You?
Did you like that unicorn? Well, the Yeti lives too. This photograph proves the point. It doesn't look like his seatmate is having quite as good a ride as the Yeti, but who knows? She doesn't seem impressed, but she should be, this is a mythical beast, after all. The Yeti needs to get around just like everyone else.
I wonder what made him desperate enough to risk his secret home being revealed by taking the train? It doesn't look like anyone on this ride was willing to take the chance and ask him. Would you have? I mean, how often do we even get the chance?!
Like Bunnies
We've seen a cat chilling in a coat, but this is our first look at not one, but two rabbits riding the bus with their proud owner. It's comfortable and casual, though one of those rabbits looks a bit frightened. Maybe it just needs a little personal space. While this guy has an extra bunny with him on this trip, what he's missing is a shirt.
Maybe they're all just trying to keep one another warm. It can get cold in those dark subway tunnels. We may never know exactly what was happening here, but as long as they weren't bothering anyone, what's there to complain about?
Germs? What Germs?
Well, they're certainly getting a reaction from their fellow doctors. Don't recognize the style? These guys are dressed as doctors who treat the plague (or used to, anyway). We bet those real-life plague doctors didn't ride the train like this, though. We can see the construction guy in orange is finding this whole thing entertaining, but we find it very uncomfortable.
There are a lot of germs on public transit, but plague hasn't been an issue in centuries. This isn't a surgical mask to fight smog or the flu; this is a statement piece. Well, these guys are protected from something, that's for sure, but it's certainly not from some questioning looks.
