Close Subway Shave
When you know you have to get to work early, it's better to wake up early for your morning routine. Otherwise, you will have to rush to work without doing anything, or you might have to do it on your way, like this lady. It appears the perfect opportunity she had to shave her legs was at the subway station.
Women take around five to seven minutes to shave their legs, almost the same time it takes to wait for the train, so it seems she did her research. From the picture, it's clear she had planned for her public grooming because she even carried her shaving cream!
A Pose On the Train
Yoga is among the best exercises for mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. The woman above seems to be a yoga veteran due to the excellent poses she's doing. However, her case is unique because of the environment in which she decided to do her yoga.
While it's advisable to have yoga sessions in an orderly and visually appealing space, she decided to have hers inside a train where people surrounded her. You have to give her credit for holding her poses inside a moving train, whether she saw it as the perfect opportunity to do her yoga or she just wanted to go viral.
Every Time is Work Time
While most people can't wait for their day to end to get out of work, some have careers that keep them occupied the whole day. It looks like this man did not have a minute to spare for the subway ride, as he and his colleagues had to hold a meeting during the trip.
The average working time for Americans is over 40 hours a week. Despite what appears to be an excessive amount of time spent at work, many employees have no problem with that as long as they get befitting pay for it. The men were so determined to make the most of their working hours that they even brought a foldable table.
One for the Socials
There are people who thrive on posting on social media and would go to any lengths to get the perfect picture for their audience. This was the case for Jessica George, who went above and beyond just to get it right. She made headlines for her confidence in having a photoshoot on the train.
A fellow passenger took a video of her striking poses, posting it on Twitter. The clip went viral in 2019, accumulating over nine million views. Everyone who reacted to the photoshoot praised her powerful confidence, and she was nicknamed "Subway Bae." Unsurprisingly, most people began feeling more comfortable taking pictures on the subway after her story.
Who Needs Shoes
When it comes to selecting outfits for the day, the choice of shoes plays a huge role. However, this was not the case for this woman, as she decided to cover her feet using saran wrap and walked comfortably to the subway.
Maybe she found it comfortable and stylish, or she didn't have enough cash to get a decent pair of pumps, but we can only hope that she didn't have to step on any rough floors that day. Some people use saran wrap to lose weight, but the woman took it to a whole new level by making DIY footwear.
The Final Journey
Mourning is hard, especially for the family of the deceased. It can also result in serious financial trouble depending on the method you choose for the final send-off. Cremation costs between $4K and $7K, while burial in a casket costs around $2K to $5K.
Funeral processions are common before burial, and these men were determined to have one at any cost, even if it meant taking the subway. Carrying the casket, the men used the subway to get to the burial area. Whether it was a serious procession or just a prank, it must have been a challenge to access the train.
Barack Obama: The Subway Version
It's not every day that you see someone looking like your former president. Barack Obama served as the president of America from 2009 to 2017. Even in his retirement, he remains a national figure, and it's hard to see him in public, except we almost thought we did. The photo above may confuse some people into thinking that Obama takes the subway to his daily activities.
This man is just a lookalike of Obama, but he can easily be mistaken for his twin brother. At first glance, Obama is mostly a smiling man, but judging by the long face on his "twin's" expression, he may have been encountering some difficulties in his life.
Subway Slumber Innovation
Asian countries are among the most innovative in the world. However, it looks like this woman took it a step too far. Standing on the train is usually tiresome, especially if you're taking a long ride, but she knew that she had to catch up on some sleep as much as she knew.
She brought what appeared to be a chin stand to help her sleep while standing. She must have been very sleepy or could actually sleep while standing, usually associated with big animals such as elephants and horses. However, next time, someone should advise her to lean on the wall to avoid falling when the train stops suddenly.
Pictures You Can Smell
The use of plastics has serious environmental, social, and health consequences. When combined with other garbage, Americans throw out over 292 million tons of solid waste every year. This is a disheartening picture showing massive amounts of waste being transported by train.
We just hope that the garbage is going to be recycled and not thrown on random dump sites or thrown into the ocean, as this would severely harm the environment and disrupt the ecosystem. Seeing such pictures should serve as motivation for us to conserve the environment by making those simple eco-friendly choices that have a major impact.
One Woman Down
When it's a night out, everything has to be perfect, regardless of the means of commuting to refreshment joints. It was all beauty and glamour for these girls heading to the club by train to party the night away, but it seems one of them got overexcited.
Escalators injure thousands of people and even cause deaths in America every year. The lady might have been too busy on her phone that she didn't notice when it was time to get off the escalator. Her friends were able to find humor and sneak a laugh before helping her. We hope the mishap wasn't serious enough to disrupt the girls' night out.
Onboard the Horror Train
When Halloween comes around, kids everywhere are ready to shine and show off their costumes to their friends. However, even adults have their fair share of fun by wearing their costumes and going to Halloween parties, so seeing some costumes on the train is no surprise. Except for this one, which could have scared many off.
This man decided to don his demon-like costume on the subway. Unlike most people who wear superhero or movie characters' costumes, his look was unique. If he meant to scare his fellow passengers, we can bet they were pretty scared and couldn't wait to get off at the end of the journey.
No Pole? No Problem
The subway is the quickest and easiest way to commute around most towns. However, riding a train during rush hours can be a problem, as you may be forced to endure congestion and even ride while standing. Most trains provide poles or grab handles, but you may run out of provisions to hold on to avoid falling.
Only this lady knows what she must have experienced on the train that made her always stay prepared. When the poles were all occupied, she surprised everyone when she pulled out a toilet plunger, stuck it to the roof, and held it to maintain balance. We can only hope she disinfected it properly before bringing it!
Full Incognito Mode
People have different ways of maintaining a low profile when in public. For this man, staying low meant going into total incognito mode. Whether he was heading to a costume party or just for his own amusement, he definitely went overboard and paid extra for the outfit.
The woman next to him was confused by the outfit and probably wondered why he chose to sit so close to her. If he was filming a prank for his social media, the man must have had a lot of courage to don the outfit in public, especially on such a crowded train.
Proudly Goth
No one loves being left behind by new fashion trends. Except for this woman, it seems. She won over thousands on social media with her gothic style after she was pictured on the subway with her pet raven. Her bizarre style prompted most people to comment with some Edgar Allen Poe-inspired poetry.
With her all-black outfit and matching make-up, she may have been from a punk rock band rehearsal, or maybe she just stepped out for some shopping, as she had a shopping bag resting between her legs as most commuters would. However, many questioned why she brought the raven and, with her dejected expression, I guess no attendant would have asked her on the subway platform.
How Much Can You Take, Nose?
Subway trains are not the most hygienic places, and most people would rather not touch any surface. However, it seems all that matters for this woman is her precious slumber, and she would do anything to have it. That's not the only problem, though.
She decided to fall asleep leaning forward, and it looked like the only support she could find was her nose. In America, a rhinoplasty procedure to repair the nasal bone would cost her over $5.48K, so we definitely hope she didn't lean too hard. Maybe next time, she should be more careful with her sleeping poses.
Subway Runaway?
Everyone dreams of a grand ceremony, and the grander it is, the happier the day will be for the couple. That seems to be the case with this woman, who was pictured alone on the train in her wedding dress but fortunately, it wasn’t as dramatic as it looked.
It turns out the woman was just from a Liverpool vs. Chelsea match. She had gotten married that morning, and the newlyweds had been handed tickets to watch their favorite teams play each other on the condition that they didn’t change their outfits. Why was she sobbing, though? Perhaps she had too much champagne from all the toasting!
Cousin Itt, Is That You?
If you have watched "The Addams Family" films, this image will interest you. This woman just decided to ride on the train, looking like Cousin Itt from the movies. She had his signature look on, with the strands covering her entire face and the same sunglasses he wears.
You can tell that she's definitely a fan of the films from the picture. She could have also been trying to avoid someone that day, so she chose the best disguise. She may even be a famous person hiding her identity, but whatever her reasons were, the hairdo and specs definitely worked their magic.
Jesus on Board
We live in such a diverse and culturally rich world, full of different people and different religious practices. Jesus is the central figure of Christianity, and it looks like this man was determined to ride the train looking like him.
He was probably dressing up as him for some costume party or role-play, but he should know that he looks very authentic in the outfit. He even completed the look with his locks and beard. Maybe he would even be more convincing if he had a Bible. However, it looks like the person who took the photo did not go unnoticed, as he was looking straight in the camera's direction.
The Baby Yogi
Most people turn to yoga to keep their body weight and shape in check. This mom is Hilaria Baldwin, wife of actor Alec Baldwin and co-founder of New York-based yoga studio chain Yoga Vida. She looks to be keen on passing down some simple poses to her daughter, Carmen. What's fascinating is the venue of their mini-session: the train!
Children naturally like to kick and stretch their legs, and it's crucial as it keeps their bones and muscles stronger as they develop. It would be adorable if they could recreate this photo once the daughter is older, as they both seem to be enjoying their yoga time together.
Grocery On The Go
If you get home late from work, you may find yourself sleeping on an empty stomach if you don't have enough groceries. That is unless you live in Korea. This is because you can do your essential shopping on your ride home on the subway. What progress!
However, the big question is why they decided to place it inside the subway instead of the station. Maybe it's an advantage as they can sell in multiple stations. There's even a cash register and refrigerated showcases complete with lighting. And the more you think about it; you can't help but wonder if the train developed a weird smell because of it.
A Cake Challenge No One Asked For
Special events like birthdays and weddings would be incomplete without a cake. Baking a standard cake takes about 35 minutes, and decorating it could take even more time. It looks like this lady did not have time to waste as she decided to decorate her cake on the subway.
She had to travel by train, and instead of just sitting idle waiting to reach her destination, she took the time to finish up her cake. It may have been expected at the venue where she was headed. And despite the apparent reactions from other commuters, she seemed undisturbed and continued with her job. You just have to admire her confidence.
I Want Santa
When it's time for Christmas, Santa Claus is one of the most-mentioned names, especially by children. More than 85% of American children believe in Santa Claus, mainly because their folks made them think he brought them gifts during Christmas. Santa Claus costumes are standard during this time.
This man tried his best to look like Santa, but there was one small problem. Most children believe Santa is an old man with a natural white beard, but he was way too young! Even the young boy next to him seems terrified to see he's not the "real Santa." It looks like he will not receive any Christmas presents this time.
Back to Conquer
Napoleon Bonaparte rose to prominence as a French political and military leader during the French Revolution, and he led several successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. It's been decades since he died, but was he just spotted on a train? It looks like this man managed to pull off Napoleon's look almost perfectly.
The Napoleon Regalia is one of the most popular costumes during Halloween, and he may have been on his way to or from a costume party. Or from his weary face, maybe he even entertains people for a living in the outfit, but he's certainly not out to conquer more territories.
Take the Dog Out
Dogs are the most common household pet in the world. Everyone has their own preference for the size of dog they'd like to own, from small ones to medium-sized ones. Large dogs are not so common, especially outdoors, but this dog owner challenged that notion by taking his Great Dane out for a walk.
The Great Dane is considered a "gentle giant." Despite being among the largest dogs, they are surprisingly affectionate towards their owners and good with children. It's easy to see the reason for their name, as this dog stayed calm and composed on the subway. He even sat on the train seat. The owner deserves some credit.
Why is Everyone in Tears
Onions are a healthy addition to your diet. When you slice them, their cells release enzymes and sulfenic acid that make the eyes tear. This picture of a woman chopping some onions expertly on a cutting board while riding the rails was one historical moment. And it looks like her fellow commuters won't forget the experience anytime soon.
It is not clear why she decided to do that on the subway. Maybe she knew she would have to start cooking right away when she got home or just wanted to be recognized for disregarding social norms. Her procedure seemed to affect the people around her, as they started tearing up, but interestingly, she seemed just fine!
The Snooze Club
Adults need at least seven hours of sleep every day. Lacking enough sleep can lead to drowsiness. This group of boys either didn't get enough sleep at night or were tired from a performance or event. It seemed like the ride was long, and they couldn't wait to get home and sleep.
It's hard to sleep in an uncomfortable position, especially when exhausted. The one lying on the seats looked comfortable, while the others just tried to sleep with the best posture they could find. Next time, they should try to get enough sleep to avoid napping in such an uncomfortable environment.
Riding On Dinosaurs
Soccer is one of the most celebrated sports in the world. You don't even have to be good at it to be a fan, and the Brazilian national team fans proved that in the 2018 World Cup tournament hosted by Russia. This is a picture of the fans in their fascinating costumes boarding a train.
Apart from their typical jersey colors, these patriotic fans went all out to support their country by wearing similarly-colored dinosaur costumes to the matches. We're not sure what dinosaurs have to do with Brazil, but their outfits would make someone who has no idea who won the world cup that year believe they did.
Testing My Patience
On the subway, you are likely to encounter different kinds of people with contrasting behaviors. Therefore, you have to stay calm and patient as some habits will definitely make you want to explode. That was the case with this man, who didn't hide his annoyance with the woman seated next to him on the subway.
Nails grow back rapidly, and it's normal to include trimming them every few weeks. The woman certainly had that in mind, but at least she could have chosen a better place to do it. According to the man's expression, you can't help but wonder what he would have done had the lady's nails flown at him.
The Queen Is Here
Drag culture has been around since the 16th century. It has evolved with time, and the emergence of drag queens has boosted the industry's ability to produce some iconic personalities in society. It's not every day you see a drag queen riding the subway, but this one did.
The lady went all out with her style, and it seems to us that the woman sitting next to her liked it. The drag culture is used for self-expression and even mainstream performances. Whatever her reasons were, this drag queen definitely impressed and props to her being confident to ride the subway undisturbed.
Get Ready to Run
Bees are not as dangerous as they seem, and they only sting as a defensive measure. Therefore, it's best to call a professional beekeeper if you encounter bees around your home. They know how to handle them well, and it looks like this man is a veteran in the field.
He was so confident in beekeeping that he decided to hop on the subway with a bee container. But it's understandable why most people would naturally be scared of bees. We hope he reached his destination with the bees secured in the container and that he invests in a ride once his business takes off.
Subway Gamer
Video gaming is exploding in popularity. In the U.S. alone, 64% of the population are gamers. However, just less than 10% of them are addicted to video games. This man might be in the addicted category, and he can play anywhere, even on the subway.
While there are compact personal devices such as phones, tablets, and laptops that you can use to play, he likes his games old school. He even brought his own Xbox, monitor, and battery pack to continue playing on the commute. We can only wonder how many of his fellow commuters were experienced gamers and would have loved to join in on the action.
Just Ask Einstein
This generation is fortunate to have Google, where you can search for anything you want. Before the Internet, people depended on others with the knowledge to get information and develop innovations. Albert Einstein was one of the brightest minds of his time. His inventions still live on, and so do his lookalikes.
This man, who resembles Einstein in every way you can think of, was spotted riding the subway. You may be forgiven for mistaking him for Einstein's twin from his tresses, mustache, and even the glabellar lines on his forehead. However, it would be no surprise with his intelligence if he actually built a time machine that brought him to this century!
Take Me Home
You have probably heard of the Bible stories about fallen angels if you are a Christian. And, it looks like one got stranded and has been living on earth for years. In fact, she already knows how to ride the subway. That said, this woman definitely dressed to impress with her outfit on the train.
She may have been heading to a costume party, and she chose the angel attire, complete with the clothing accompanied by wings. Most people believe heaven is a cosmological place where they will go in the afterlife. Maybe she would have smiled a little for the camera, or she needed to get home!
Don't Worry; It Won't Run Away
It's normal to see someone walking their pet dog, but there are still unusual pets to take for a walk, like turtles. Turtles are quiet, shy, and harmless. Despite that, they still display intelligence to identify their keepers and know when it's feeding time. This man decided to take his turtle for a walk and even took it to the subway.
Turtles are slow animals because their heavy shells prevent them from moving faster. Therefore, seeing him put a leash on it was just as surprising as the fact that he brought it on the train. Moreover, turtles are sensitive to loud noises and vibrations, so we hope the other commuters didn't make too much noise.
Best Friends Forever!
Hodophobia is the feeling of extreme fear of a particular mode of transport. It makes people anxious when traveling by air, sea, or rail, caused by painful experiences or widely publicized disasters in that mode of transportation. From this picture, it looks like the man may be suffering from anxiety on the subway, so he brought a companion.
He made a grown-up-sized paper doll to keep him company during his trip. He didn't even need to make anything perfect, as he molded it with brown paper and tape, as long as he wouldn't be alone. And in fact, he seems pretty comfortable with his new friend.
Cheesy But Cute
Two humans in love create pure magic. However, it takes matching amounts of effort for the relationship to maintain strength and stability. This man in the picture appears to be having a bad day after fighting with the love of his life.
He couldn't just let her go that quickly, so he set aside his pride and opted to say sorry. He went the cheesy route, purchased pizza, and apologized by writing on the box. According to sociologist Michael Rosenfeld, 70% of straight unmarried couples separate in their first year together. Clearly, this dude doesn't want to be part of the other 30%.
New Trend in Town
Everyone has their own style preference, keeping up with the latest trends. However, others prefer to stay unique by getting creative with their outfits, and it seems this woman is one of them. Her creative outfit on the subway captured the attention of many.
She decided to customize her already stylish jacket with Barbie doll heads. They are the most popular dolls, and Mattel even claims three of them are sold worldwide every second. The woman must have loved them when she was young and decided to use her collection to style her jacket. She may have set a new trend for others to follow.
Channeling The Purge
Halloween was previously associated with children having fun. However, the trend has changed, as more than 70% of adults, especially young adults, enjoy Halloween. This has pushed the estimated budget in America to over 3 billion spent on costumes, decorations, and candy. It looks like this man got the memo and decided to take it up a notch.
He kept his attire simple in all black but decided to complete the look with an utterly petrifying mask. It looks like something that would feature in "The Purge" films, and if he intended to don a scary outfit that day, the creepy mask definitely worked the magic.
Rules are Rules
In New York, it's normal to see people taking their pets for a walk or even commuting with them on the subway. However, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority encourages commuters to put their pets in containers or in a way that will not disrupt other travelers' peace. It looks like this lady had just the perfect solution.
She had no container to bring her cat in, but fortunately, she had some extra space in her coat, and she decided to make the most of it. With her pet inside her jacket, it may have looked like she was smuggling it. But it turns out it was a great idea, as the cat seemed calm and she didn't break any rules!
No Utensils, No Problem
Staying healthy is a non-negotiable for most people. It also means altering your eating habits and having a balanced diet. Vegetables are essential to a diet, especially if you're trying to lose weight. This man appears to have fallen in love with lettuce and didn't mind snacking on it on the subway.
He didn't have a way to cut it and put it on a plate, but maybe he was so hungry that he decided to eat it like a burger. He appears oblivious to everything and preoccupied with his vegetarian meal. It looks like he satisfied his appetite and the environment too.
The Chicken Princess
When riding on the subway, expect to see the most unusual things, and this has to be one of them. People use strollers to walk their cats or dogs, but chickens? That's unusual. When you think of chickens, it's perhaps because they will be part of your next meal. However, that's not the case for this man.
Chickens are expected to be bred on farms for consumption, but this chicken is definitely used to the hustle and bustle of city life. The owner even takes it on the subway and walks it in a well-decorated stroller. Among all the chickens globally, this one has to be the most pampered.
I’m Changing My Clothing Store
If you buy affordable clothing from popular fashion stores, it won't be a surprise if you run into someone wearing the same outfit. You just have to hope you won't be wearing yours on the same day. Most people have no problem with that, but if this man's case is anything to go by, that's far better.
This moment on the subway was one to forget for him, as instead of matching outfits with another person, his shirt paired with the train seats' design. He might have bought it from a cheap store that opts for standard fabrics instead of emphasizing quality.
Welcome To The Bald Club
Everyone has their own way of grooming and presenting themselves in public. However, it's hard to be so unique that you'll avoid meeting people who resemble you in one aspect or another. This happened on a subway ride when these men sat next to each other, and it looked like they had one thing in common.
Coincidentally, the men were all sporting shiny heads. Whether they had experienced hair loss or just decided to shave their heads bald, it looks like the universe had a plan for them to meet on that day. Maybe they should have exchanged numbers and kept in touch, but it was definitely an amusing infrequent happening.
Seeing Double
If you don't already know this, three out of every a hundred births in the U.S. are twins. For most people, having a twin sibling translates to never being alone and always having someone by your side. It's no surprise that most parents love to dress their twins in the same outfit, and it looks like these two are the embodiment of identical.
They were similarly exhausted or sleepy and even had identical sleeping styles. Their fellow commuters were so amused at the sight that they could not help but take a picture of them. Based on the similarities, you can bet that only their folks can tell them apart.
The Last-Minute Alien
There have been more conversations about aliens going around. However, there is still no proof of their existence except in the movies. The woman above taking the subway tried her best to get an alien costume, and she managed to attract the attention of her fellow commuters.
It looks like she had been invited to a costume party at the last minute and couldn't get her hands on an outfit. That didn't deter her, as she just wore her regular outfit, completing the look with the creepy mask. Though you'd expect her to have a hard time with it on her face, she looks pretty comfortable and ready for the party.
