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.
Subway
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. The fact remains, you're packed in with so many people from different backgrounds trying to get to such different destinations that you're bound to see some wild stuff.
As far as customer service stories go, this is some comedy gold. Our friendly and knowledgable Subway employee found himself making a "Veggie Delight" sandwich for a vegan customer who didn't realize that mayonnaise was NOT vegan, because it has eggs in it. Sometimes the truth hurts, and it sounds like it was a bit of a bummer for this vegan. I mean hey, knowledge is power. You live and you learn.
The life of a sandwich artist isn't all glamor and glory. Sometimes some real weird customers get down and dirty with what they want. And no matter how much instinct screams against putting tuna salad on a meatball marinara, you've gotta do it. Fast food work can be weird, like all the stuff drive-thru workers have heard over the mic.

What a wonderfully wholesome moment. Apparently the old woman is a famous artist named Ellen Grossman as well!

They say you are what you eat. So if you're eating chicken from Subway, it turns out you are some sort of soy-filler byproduct?
According to a report from the CBC, some of Subway's chicken-based menu items contain less than 50 percent chicken DNA. The highest percentage was found in their oven-roasted chicken, which contained a whopping 53.6 percent chicken DNA. The real winner was the chicken strips, which contained 42.8 percent chicken. Cluck.
The other main component? You guessed it, Frank Stallone. I mean, soy. The other main ingredient is soy.
Subway wasn't going to take this lying down. They told Mashable:
The accusations made by CBC Marketplace about the content of our chicken are absolutely false and misleading. Our chicken is 100% white meat with seasonings, marinated and delivered to our stores as a finished, cooked product.
We have advised them of our strong objections. We do not know how they produced such unreliable and factually incorrect data, but we are insisting on a full retraction. Producing high quality food for our customers is our highest priority. This report is wrong and it must be corrected.
Now the two are in a big game of chicken.
Subway did their own invesitgation and found less than one percent of soy in their chicken product, while the CBC stands by their test results. They cited Robert Hanner, a biologist and associate director for the Canadian Barcode of Life Network at the University of Guelph in Ontari, who wrote, "DNA tests do not lie (especially when conducted multiple times), and anyone with access to a DNA laboratory could perform these tests."
Because Subway is doing their own secret study that backs up their claim that their chicken is chicken, it makes sense to be skeptical of their findings.
In the mean time, maybe try a veggie delight sub. Everyone knows that banana pepper is just a banana pepper... or is it. You know what? Maybe try an actual deli.

As the old saying goes, “I can’t wait to take my pants off.”
Being in public is the worst mostly because of pants. I mean, we all know wearing pants is awful and not wearing them is the great. So if we’re all in agreement, why are we still into this whole covering our legs thing. We should be free to be who we want, man, and not let “society” tell us what to do.
That’s what the free-wheelin’ hippies at Improv Everywhere were thinking when they came up with the No Pants Subway Ride” back in 2001. The 16th annual No Pants Subway Ride happened yesterday, and honestly, it looks like everyone was really psyched to finally get out of those restrictive pants and finally be free for once.
This footage is from New York City, where people endured the 22 degrees to drop their trousers on a subway train, but tens of thousands of people participated in over 25 countries.
sigh I wish everyday was No Pants Subway Ride Day.
Bonus: In England, they call it "No Trousers on the Tube Day"
So this guy boarded my train in his underwear and that's how I found out today is "National No Pants on the Tube Day" in England 😂😭 pic.twitter.com/Hx9dW5PRwV

You might remember Scott Rogowsky from a few years ago when he brought a bunch of hilarious fake books on the subway. “Taking Fake Books on the Subway” is a one of the best YouTube series around.
Now that we have a new president and he’s a billionaire reality-TV gameshow host, Scott thought it was time to update his series.
The “Unpresidented Edition” is filled with some hilarious titles that will have you thanking the gods of pun! By the way, shout out to whoever came up with “Prejudice and Prejudice by Mike Pence.”
Check out the full video above and some of these book covers below.
