Sweaty 200pound man fight. That is to say, there was about 400 pounds of man involved, between the two of them.

horrifying?: conversely, my sister used to carry a piece of string around with her, pull it out of her pocket and dangle it out of her mouth to keep people from bothering her on the subway... worked like a charm..

Nice tactic your sister has, Annie! A WFMU DJ I know sometimes plows through large crowds by moaning a monotone "ehhhhhhhh" loudly, as if deranged/rabid/mentally unstable.

As an MTA employee, I cannot pass up the opportunity, Liz, of filling you and your listeners in on what happens on buses and subways. The most horrific things happen, it's true, but to see them is something else. I've seen the result of a human bowel movement on the rear steps of a bus. I thought he just had a deformed body the way he was bent over like that! I've seen a tampon change with the old one left for all to enjoy. I've seen hypodermic needles, crack pipes, and puddles of urine along with way too much vomit to speak of politely. How about body parts? My buddy found hands and an arm. What happened to the rest of him? Then there's the both disabled AND mentally challenged woman who had fit requiring the assistance of all the passengers to quiet down. I personally witnessed two people enjoying coitus right there in a seat! The most beautiful and horrible things happen on the buses and subways and I've seen just about it all. Next time you see someone plucking their eyebrows, remember how much worse it could be. Sorry if I ruined anyone's happy Monday, but Liz asked for it. - Tony

Oh poor MTA Tony... no one should have to witness that stuff! You could write a book about all of those horrors.
Mon. 2/2/09 1:26pm
From:
Doug from DC
I have a friend who does rail maintenance for Metro. When there are suicides or other accidents on the track, they have a special car with high-pressure hoses that they use to clean up the tracks after most of the remains have been removed. He's had to drive this thing before a few times, at least once to clean up the remains of a co-worker.
Mon. 2/2/09 1:34pm

This is all just terrible! Let's go in a different direction. Name your favorite people who sport 'do-rags (du-rags?).

From:
(mta) Tony
Thanx Liz. All was true. Sad part about it is, like your previous poster said, these are common occurrences on on buses and very many MTA employees see these horrors regularly, with many having to clean up the blood and other remains. It's pretty disgusting. When you go to other cities, these things don't happen. It's only in NEW YORK that the system allows this behavior to exist. The garbage that's left in buses and subways is staggering and utterly disgusting. The animal riders who have had no proper child rearing are the perpetrators of these things. No culture or civilization was taught to them. Not even animals shit where they eat but working for the MTA revealed some humans are lower than animals. And I've got 10 more years of this horror 'til retirement. Of course, there are many benefits which is why we stay. - Tony
