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. 

This train conductor clearly chose the wrong profession. The dude has a knack for investigating. That passenger doesn't even know what hit him. 

These Tumblr users referring to German transit etiquette is something that lives in just about everyone who has to get to work in a tube full of other people. It's that balancing act of having to go through the rigamarole of being polite but also acting as if no one anyone else even exists. For some more fun discussions on culture, here's a tumblr thread on cultures colliding over how to measure time and space.

Good old public transit. It's like everyone's living room if it was also a bathroom. It sure would be refreshing to be made nervous by public transportation in the traditional weird way again. Here are some other times people went full weird on public transportation.

It's time to put an end to the stirring debate over which seat is the best when taking the subway. New Yorkers are offering up their hot takes on the matter, while other Twitter users are putting their own comedic twists on which is the best seat in other scenarios. 

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. 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.

Sometimes the most unexpected, yet intimate interaction with a total stranger can leave us utterly blown away with just how amazing humans are. This guy's story will give you the feels. 

Bus drivers are just trying to make it through another day without having to deal with too much of anyone's careless BS. You can help the cause by reading up on some stuff they really wish that their customers knew about. 

You may recognize these traits in the type of people you hate. You may notice these behaviors in yourself. If you do, then you may need to take a look in the mirror.

To use public transportation is to (painfully) knowingly throw yourself into a sea of absolute chaos. People really let themselves go CRAZY on the bus or train. That or they were already to begin with.
