Strange Sights Seen On The Subway
The subway is a strange, transitory place. Nobody really wants to be on the subway. It's just a necessity if you want to get from one place to another. People from all different walks of life make their way onto subways all over the world every morning so that they can make it to work on time.
The subway usually isn't an event, it's just the vehicle that gets you to the event. Unless, of course, you're on a subway with one of these people. Keep reading to see some really strange subway riders.
A Tiny Hat
This subway car stopped in the perfect position. Now it looks like this bald man is wearing a tiny floating hat.
Why is there a tiny floating hat? We may never know.
Pack Your Dog
This man was going on a long day trip and he didn't want to leave his dog at home.
That's when he decided to pack his dog in his backpack and bring him along for the ride.
A Knight In Shining Armor
This woman has spent years looking for her knight in shining armor, and then one day, she sat down on the subway and he appeared right beside her.
True love does exist after all.
Take A Seat
This dog is much too big for that subway seat, but he's not going to let that stop him.
He's a great dane and he can sit where he pleases.
A Spooky Nun
We really hope that it was Halloween on the day this photo was taken. That had better be a costume, otherwise, this is just too spooky. Nobody else is in costume.
That's not a good sign.
Is That Who I Think It Is?
Apparently, Albert Einstein is still alive and well. You can find him staring at the floor on his morning commute to the laboratory.
He's just been lying low for a while.
Complete The Picture
The back cover of this magazine is making it look like this woman has a full beard.
It's honestly not a bad look on her. It matches her hairstyle and her attitude.
A Helping Hand
This very punk looking man is helping this woman carry her heavy items out of the subway. Who said that chivalry is dead?
It's alive and well, and it's sporting a rainbow mohawk.
Is That Iron Man?
This depressed-looking man riding the subway looks an awful lot like Robert Downey Jr. Do you think that's really Iron Man?
Probably not, but we can dream. The facial hair is perfect.
Look-Alike
Isn't it weird when you walk onto the subway platform only to see your face plastered all over the walls?
This guy must have a long-lost twin out there or something.
So Many Shirts
Blue checkered dress shirts must be really popular these days. These men all look like they're ready to do some serious accounting.
Do you think they've realized their fashion faux pas?
Matching The Seat
This man got onto the subway only to realize that he and the seats were wearing the same outfit. Who do you think wore it best?
That pattern really brings out the seat's curves.
An Apology Pizza
This guy must have done something really bad if he needs a pizza to help him apologize.
Whether or not the person accepts the apology, at least they get a delicious pizza.
Fitting In With The Cool Kids
It seems like everybody has AirPods nowadays. This man just wanted to fit in with the rest of the cool kids.
The tape is an interesting solution, but it's not the most attractive method for using these devices.
Unfortunate Pen Placement
This woman tied her hair up with a pen, but hen left that pen uncapped.
Now her back is full of doodles. Let's just hope the ink in that pen is washable.
Peeking Out
You never know what you're going to see on the subway, like a chicken poking its head out of a cardboard box, for instance.
It is a pretty cute chicken.
Strolling Along
Some people treat their dogs like babies, but this "baby" has a face that only a mother could love.
He seems pretty chill in his fancy stroller. Next stop: dog park.
All In A Row
These five bald men all wearing similar clothes decided to sit next to each other on the subway.
This was probably not on purpose, but it's still interesting to look at.
The Aftermath Of A Fight
A fight broke out on this subway platform, and after everyone involved in the fight walked away, this is what the floor looked like.
There was a lot of hair-pulling. Nobody won that day.
Walking Her Bananas
This woman is holding onto a dog leash attached to a bunch of bananas. She doesn't seem too phased at this point.
She's just waiting for the next train to come.
Time For A Nap
Why is there a full double bed in the middle of a subway platform?
Who would bring it to this spot, and why would it be abandoned here? It looks like it's waiting for the next train.
Along For The Ride
The New York subway system made a rule that no dogs are allowed on the subway unless they're small enough to be carried in a bag.
This dog owner took that suggestion very literally.
Dog In A Bag
The subway authorities may have said that subway dogs have to fit in bags, but they didn't say what size of bags.
That's why this man is walking his dog in an IKEA bag.
A New Cinderella
Cinderella was running away so fast when the clock struck midnight that she left her bra on the floor.
Now the handsome prince has to figure out who it belongs to.
Crabs Everywhere
Notice how there aren't any people in this subway car? That's because it's full of live crabs.
It turns out, people don't really want to sit anywhere near live crabs.
Stay Dry
Excessive armpit perspiration is difficult to manage. This person tried to keep it at bay with some sanitary napkins.
If only his shirt were a bit more opaque... We can all see what's happening here.
A Makeshift Instrument
Who let this guy on the subway? It looks like he's just making noise that's going to disturb everybody around him.
The pipe didgeridoo is interesting, though. It's interesting to us because we're not on the subway with it.
A Huge Tennis Racket
This man brought a huge tennis racket onto the subway with him.
Why, you ask? Well, how else is he going to play giant tennis? Now all he needs is a giant ball.
A Very Specific Kind Of Haircut
This man was spotted on the subway sporting a very angular hairstyle.
We're not sure this look is working for you, bud. It may be time for a serious change.
The Ghana Dancing Pallbearers Are Shaking
Our condolences to this family who obviously are suffering a close loss and a difficult subway trip.
Hopefully, they were able to arrive to their destination safely with all items intact.
She's Putting A Lot Of Faith In Humanity
Falling asleep on the subway is a risky game. Falling asleep with your phone in hand and easy to grab is an even riskier game.
Hopefully the 15 minutes of sleep is worth it.
He's Watching You
Head tattoos are already a bit sketchy, but this one is really freaking me out.
For all we know, he could be an innocent parent who wanted their kids to know he's always watching.
She's Having Twins!
This has definitely made me self-conscious of my knees.
I didn't even know that was a body part you could feel embarrassed of but these two babyfaces prove that you're never safe.
Not Quite Shoes
Just because it technically covers the bottom of your foot, doesn't mean that it can or should be considered "shoes". This lady and her saran wrap clearly doesn't agree
At least don't walk around a major city's subway system in these.
Men Will Hit On Anyone
Do you think these two know they're trying to pick up mannequins?
Or are they simply using them as practice before they cross the platform and try out their pick-up lines on real women?
That's One Way To Maintain Personal Space
The subway is the one place where you give up personal space. Japan even has subway pushers to cram people in together.
This woman though up a genius solution to keep her distance.
If You Can't Find A Seat...Don't Do This
There's never a good excuse for doing this in public, ever. Even if you can't find a seat and an alligator bit off your foot. No exceptions.
I feel sorry for the poor witnesses to these people.
When You Can't Afford AirPods
This is what you see on the subway when you can't afford AirPods, but you're too tired after a long day of work to both untangling the mess of cords.
This is peak exhaustion.
It's Not Working
This sweater is doing the Barbra Streisand effect.
By pointing out the fact she wants to appear normal, we're now looking for all the ways she might not be normal.
I Wonder Who The Culprit Was...
In this case the phrase "whoever smelt it, dealt it" doesn't seem to hold true.
These two women are gasping for air and the man beside them seems a little too comfortable.
We Love Seeing Allies In Action
To the person who left this note, thank you.
It means they jumped the turnstile, got caught, and went out of their way to go back and warn others. This is what a true ally looks like.
