Idk if this counts as crazy but one day a guy went up to me and said “hey I’m about to smoke meth. Its probably going to smell so you can change seats if you want to.” And then I did and that was basically it.
Very polite methhead.

Nothing that crazy I guess, but two events I remember:
-
A small fire broke out next to the tracks and the train driver actually stopped the train and got out to extinguish it
-
A train busker played so loudly and terribly that a group of random passengers got together to shove him out of the train at the next station.
Someone playing an instrument inside of a train, Jesus that’s obnoxious
Indeed. Busking on the street is fine, as you can just walk somewhere else if you don’t like it, but on a train you’re trapped with them. Pretty sure it’s illegal here as well.
Yeah, you haven’t lived until you’ve had to ride the express A going downtown with a mariachi band at full-tilt.
There are places where this is common. They hope to get paid (I assume to get them to leave). Sometimes they’re accompanied by pick-pockets who pray on the distracted.
Assholes, they’re basically extorting people to stop the annoying shit and to get them to fuck off
Yeah, I hadn’t heard any buskers on the Stockholm metro for years until a few weeks ago when a guy I had seen earlier busking, came onboard again with his weird wooden box with metal strings that is played with two hooked sticks and started playing.
Not proper public transport, but my dad is an active member of a heritage railroad.
This railroad rund both steam and diesel trains.
When it is dry outside they will run a fire watch train after the steam train, basically a tank car with water and a petrol pump, pulled by a diesel locomotive.
But this day they didn’t run the fire watch train, and I was tagging along with dad as he drove the classic DMU trains.
We come around a corner and see smoke comming from a farmer’s field, it had caught on fire/smolder from the steam train…
We stop, obviously, bring our large water can and start working the fire, after a few min the fire department came and we could hand it over to them

A very intoxicated man explained at length to my friend and me that we should stay in school instead of dropping out to join the military like he did. He wasn’t wrong.
On the NYC subway a guy was taking up two seats, he pulls out a notebook and starts (screaming) reading from it. It was all about some conspiracy that got him kicked out of Columbia University. People started moving away from him. At the next stop a guy gets on the train and says to “hey psycho you really need two seats” the crazy guy slides over freeing up one of the seats and then goes back to yelling.
“hey psycho you really need two seats” Read this in the TF2 Scout character’s voice
If you were from, where I was from, you’d be
fuckingdead.It is entirely within Scouts character to just… “yo, knucklehead, scoot over”, and then just put on his headset when the screaming resumes.
Though, being from Boston, and being exceptionally prideful… that may cause some issues on the NYC subway.
Newbie strap-hanger new to The City, a train rolled-up empty and it was cold or hot as fuck, and in my naivety was like, “these idiots aren’t hittin up all the free space!!!”… Yeah, dude taking a shit.
I was sat opposite a woman who had a grocery bag filled to the brim with crisps packets, or so it seemed. She started out just munching on crisps, mouth fully open, shoving her hands in there. She emptied two packs in between two stops (metro). Efficient.
When she had enough she started rumaging frantically through her bag for a solid 20 seconds, and then triumphantly dug out a can of whipped cream (squirty cream format for my UK friends), opened it, and just emptied the whole thing in her mouth in one go!
It was in France, of all fucking places.

Breakfast of champions.
I watched a lady bring a small dead bird in a ziploc onto the Metro in Montreal and then proceed to pluck its feathers onto the floor.
and we aren’t talking about your game hen or a quail here or something. I’m lalking about a fucking sparrow or something like that.
Tough life if you got to prep dinner on the metro.
Wile walking to the bus my dog picked up a dead bird off the ground and was just carrying it like the good little 'triever she was until I noticed and removed it.
I watched a guy chug a bottle of orange Listerine, ramble incoherently for ten minutes, then proceed to have uncontrollable diarrhea all over the seat before getting off the train.
Man, I’ve been homeless and seen some wild shit on busses… fairly regularly…
That?
What you’ve just described?
That’s expectional even to me.
God damn.
In Halifax, two teenage girls talking on the bus. One girl was describing how her boyfriend fucks her. Very graphic.
People pay to hear that
i had a co-worker like this. she got fired for sexual harassment. would come in every weekend and loudly tell people about the hot guy that fucked her ass in detail.
Too many people in the world need to share everything about themselves with the public. I don’t get it.
That’s just Rita, Sue & Bob Too.
i had a dude walk up to me and say “never just take unsolicited advice”
possibly the best advice i ever got. total mindfuck though
A group of us in NYC and dude rolled up with a rope and declared, “Never leave the house without some rope” and then went on his way.
I NEED MY TOOLS!
Thats fucking amazing.
That’s the IRL / performance art equivalent of “ceci n’est pas une pipe.”
So do you follow his unsolicited advice of not following his advice? Or do you not follow it, by following it?
In addition to some junkie/alkie shenanigans I saw an immigrant started praying on his Muslim mat in front of the train doors. Dude started raving when someone stepped on his mat trying to get out. I remember everyone just looking around confused over the idiocy of it all
Not my story, but it’s so good I have to share it: my classmate told me about how she was on a bus and some guy was arguing with the bus driver about fare or something, and the bus driver just gets up, takes off his bus driver vest thing, and fucking walks off the job! She said everyone on the bus was like WTF. Then when she left the bus and went to another bus stop to try to get home the driver was also just waiting at that stop, because obviously he drove the bus there and had no other way to get anywhere 😂
Some tweaker was huffing compressed air cans, but the kind that have the bittering agent to discourage people from huffing. The stuff got into the air and was very unpleasant for everyone. I had to get off at the next stop and wait for another train, I couldn’t breathe.
Santacon and elf con crossed tracks at a train stop. For some reason there was also a train full of clowns and a few mime artists all on the same train.

I’ve had to administer noloxone twice on the subway (once was on the platform)
some guy sat across from me and started screaming at me how beautiful my boots were and what a removed i was. then went into this long story about how he’d be rich like me if his bitch mom hadn’t stolen his dad’s money. then he went on about his dreadlocks being beautiful and perfect and he’ll cut anyone who calls it cultural appropriation.
nobody had said a word to this guy, he just went off for one stop then got off to change cars probably to go tell the same weird nutbag rant to the next subway car.
I don’t know if you are aware, but your instance seems to have censored your post. It says beautiful my boots were and what a removed I was
