public transportation

Unfortunately, there's no getting around the fact that public transportation invites all kinds of chaotic behavior from humans. It's as if some people seemingly leave their moral compasses at home, and succumb to not acting like decent individuals right upon entering a bus or even worse, the subway. Oh boy, the subway. Talk about a petri dish of vile and generally unacceptable behavior. 

Any time you ready yourself to hop on board a subway, you're basically readying yourself for all manners of chaos to pop up at a moment's notice. Just when you think you've seen it all, the subway is ready to show you that you don't even know the half of it. The subway's a magnet for many a cursed things in this strange world. See for yourself.

Those NYC subway commuters were not about to be psyched out by a little ban saying they couldn't bring dogs on the subway. So, they adapted and now we get to enjoy a ton of New Yorkers walking around the subway with their dogs in ridiculous bags.

A busy subway car can be like a living room that everyone has to commute in. Sometimes you're forced into strange situations, like the time the NYC subway banned dogs unless they could fit into bags.

It's a pretty well-known stereotype that the subway system in New York City is full of crazies and weirdos, and these pics prove that to be true.
