Can We Talk About How Gross It Is When People Eat on the Subway?
Then again, why bother? It's gross! Nothing to talk about. Nothing at all. Except for the vinegar fries and cheeseburger in the lap of the broad next to me. All the way to Corona, Queens. Almost killed myself.
I don't know why but it always bothers me to see people chowing down in public, when they are not at a place to eat but in public walking, riding the train, etc.
"The eating habits of these Romans are disgusting. They eat their dinner piecemeal while walking the street, buying tripe and other things from street vendors" -excerpt from a letter from Michelangelo Buonorotti to his father circa 1440 AD.
I experienced a new fad last night--new to me, maybe not you, but it was full service dinner while at the movies. They bring your food and drinks to your seats. People love it-I found it strange, being a New Yorker I prefer to see what I'm eating--you know movie theaters aren't the cleanest. So I nibbled and tried to examine each piece of lettuce and cucumber that went into my mouth. As for the subway, it’s nasty, so it should go without saying, but here goes anyway...DO NOT EAT IN OR NEAR THE SUBWAY.

Still, I'd rather see them eating than puking.
I was once yelled at by a friend for not being able to eat a Taco Bell combo meal while driving.
The subway is just gross in general. It’s basically a petri dish on wheels.
BwahahaHAHAha

Dave -- not to sound like an art nerd (which I am) but Michelangelo wasn't born until 1475. And tripe off the street is gross too.
Oops-my bad. The quote is good but the date was a guess. Just trying to point out that the problem was not a new one.
Or in a movie theatre. Eat first. Or at home. Leave the smelly stuff outside.
