it can be anything from the local bum u see everyday to a kid smaking his mother and then telling her to shut up or just those pompous *** people who walk with their noses in the air.

You mean on the subway? I remember feeling like I was going to get jumped for my backpack.

Well, the normal stuff that might sound weird for an out-of-towner would be the car where all the people are squashed into one corner because the guy on the other side has be festering in his fecal matter for a month, perverts rubbing up against you, crazies talking to invisible people.
The strangest thing I ever saw though was 2 nicely dressed people having an odd interaction...
She
He-Miss, would you stop that please.
She-No
He-Miss, I dont even let my wife do that in my presence.
She-I'm not your wife. Damn!
It was pretty amusing

I was on my way to work in the am rush hr. I was sitting down. The car was becoming more and more crowded when a pregnant woman got on the train. By this time there were no seats left, so I offered my seat. She sat down, reached up into her coat and pulled out her backpack.....She wasn't f'n pregnant. I had to excercise great restraint not to yank her out of the seat and sit back down.
.
Another time: It was the day of a Subway World Series game at Yankees Stadium. I was on my way home on the 4 from grand central. It was already packed. We get to 86th and the train breaks down....they empty the train, the next train arrives and everyone tries to cram on. when we got to 125-no one could get off, it was too crowded for anyone to move. People had to wait until we got to 161 then go back downtown.

Ok. So I'm on my way home from work, on the N&R northbound. Somewhere around City Hall, a bunch of thug-looking kids get on, with a giant boom-box. I frown, predicting that they're going to blare music and sit there being obnoxious in general. Sure enough, after 20 seconds, they turn it on...I'm thinking "Oh God, here we go." I'm about to move to the next car...
When they start. I can't believe what I'm seeing. They're BREAKDANCING...in the AILSE of a MOVING SUBWAY. I sit back down. They manage to do this without touching a single person (it's rather crowded, but not sardine-packed). Then, two of them lock arms and legs, form a human wheel, and roll down the length of the car to thunderous applause (including from myself).
I gave 'em $10 bucks on sheer entertainment value alone.

I'm not from new york and was on a school trip and this woman came on the subway and started yelling we are all going to die and was holding and giving out pamphlets about her religion and saying how we all need to pray and then she left. Basically she was saying the world was ending. but what i found strange was that no one seemed bothered by it, it seemed normal to them, then again we get these types of people on the subways in Canada and no one seems phased. But it was weird.

One time I was on the E train, when some out of town jerk-off asked me to tell him about any wierd stories about riding the trains.
