This is going to be the first in series of stories of the weird ass shit I see in the subway. Since I take it every day now, there should be lots of stories. I have a couple of them stored up, so I'll just get them all out in one post.
The Lady with the Taxidermied Dog Purse
The other day I walking along the subway platform, and saw this lady, and she had a dog under her arm. She was just standing there waiting for a train. From far away I thought she was just holding the dog under her arm. As I got closer I noticed that the dog wasn't moving. Its front and back legs were streched out (parallel to the floor), like it was jumping or something. I quickly realized that the lady wasn't holding the dog. It wasn't in a dog purse thingy. She had taxidermied her dog and turned it into a purse. Zipper up its back and everything. It was a little terrier like dog. And it was very disturbing
Charlie Brown and the Subway Attendant
Coming home the other day, I walk past this quite large man SCREAMING at the subway attendant in the subway attendant's little box thing. However, as I moved away, I couldn't understand anything the subway attendant was saying because he was saying it through his little com box. So from far away, it reminded me of Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown screaming at his teacher, and the teacher screaming back "Mwah Mwah, Mwah. Mwah!". It was quite amusing. Everyone else must've thought so because everyone stopped and watched.
The last comment is less a story and more an observation. One thing I really like about the subway is when two trains pass by each other underground. It's really cool to look into the other train as you pass. It's like looking into another dimension. And then after that short glimpse, it's gone.
