The **** that can happen on a subway train that the occupants will ignore is pretty damn frightening.

Also, people seriously need to stop being so fat. It's gratuitious.
Thirdly, you shouldn't discriminate against women, like that Bearpaw. It's just not cool.

Fat thighs pushed together for a length of time is just like an armpit. Sweat forms.. meaning when they get off it'll either look like they peed themselves, or they'll walk about 5 ft and suffer incredibly painful chafing.
I know... I used to get it. Thankfully im doing something about it though

If you are that young woman, what do you do?
a) hit back at the old woman
b) call a cop (if one is available) and have the old woman arrested for assault
c) sit there and cry

I get on the 7 train at GC with my track bike and bag full of my track junk. I cannot, but take two seats (because I am not standing all the way to Main St). So, what do you do?
a) give me the evil eye for taking up two seats
b) mumble "hip*" under your breath
c) tell me how pretty my bike is and how much you like to ride your bike too, and how we should be friends because, well, we both ride bikes
So, what are you going to do?
Yell at the old woman for not behaving as a grown-up?
Give me a karate chop for taking up two seats?

Personally, I would b*tch the f*ck out of the old women and tell you how pretty your bike was.
Reminded me of a story.
When I was younger I think I just learned how to spit so I was constantly spitting on my older brother. He got pissed off and went into the bathroom and started brushing his teeth then proceeded to spit a huge mouthful of phleghmy, frothy spit directly into my mouth.
I sure as hell never spit on anyone ever again.
So, I amend my answer. I'd hock the biggest, greenest ****ing loogie right into her mouth.

what about the s*it on the train you can't ignore? a few months ago a friend and i got caught on our bikes up in harlem in the middle of a huge thunder storm and after almost getting blown over by the wind a couple of times decided to take the train back downtown rather than braving the west side highway.
pretty close to home this a-hole starts mumbling about whether i'm a guy or a girl blah blah blah. i had my bike, baggy shorts, baseball hat (did he want me to wear a skirt or something?) he kept raising his voice, obviously speaking loud enough for me to hear and everyone else was just kind of uncomfortably staring at me.
as i got off the train we exchanged insults, which peaked with him telling me he was going to f*ck me so that i would learn what 'feminity' is. he told me i looked like a boy, i told him he looked like a fat piece of s*it. stupid subway.

JoseR - if you obviously need to take up two seats because you're lugging a bunch of heavy stuff around, that's different. i was mostly taking issue with those people that have a bag of clothing or a backpack sitting right on the seat next to them. you know, the stuff they could easily put on their lap or on the ground and let someone sit.
as for the first case - i'd probably ignore it actually but be ready to help the girl if anything else happened. it's her option to call a cop if she wanted to. BTW: my GF has been spit on before in the subway. luckly i wasn't there because i'd probably end up going to jail for what i'd do to that guy.

Coupla years back I saw a guy in full clown getup passed out flat on his back on a bench on the C, half empty 40oz crooked in his arm and piss running off the bench... doesn't top the time my dad saw a guy come on the train (late 70s) wearing an entire wetsuit -- including mask, flippers, and a tank. No one on the train flinched. The subway is straight weird.

On the B Line in Boston I had some drunk, college piece of s--t vomit on me. Yup he puked everywhere, including on me. The train cleared out at the next stop as people fled from that acrid nose-burning stench. I threw out my clothes and brought my old bike out of the basement. That's when I started riding.

The attack occurred before dawn at a subway station a few blocks south of Columbia University.
Wielding a saw in each hand, the man took a swipe at one rider on a platform and missed, police said. Moments later, he cut into the man's chest at a turnstile before bolting out of the station, still carrying the power tools, which were later found in a trash can.
Police were reviewing security camera videotape.
The attack came two weeks after a Boston man was charged with stabbing four people _ three of them tourists _ over a 13-hour period in the subway and the theater district in Manhattan.
have fun!
