Our latest dumb Q train rider has really one upped our previous subway idiots by not only breaking social laws, but actual laws as well! This guy had such an urge to smoke as we passed over the Manhattan Bridge from Dekalb to Canal that he lit up a cigarette ON THE TRAIN.I first smelled the smoke from the other end of the car. It didn't smell like the smoke that poured into cars when there was a fire on the tracks between Beverley and Church earlier this year. It smelled like cigarette smoke. Surely no one was stupid enough to smoke on an actual subway car, I thought. I looked down the car and saw this guy puffing away, exhaling out the window that he opened. Everyone else on the car seemed to think this was perfectly normal, as I was the only one who even threw a glance his way.
When I moved closer to take his picture, I saw his shirt, "I Hate Bush," and I thought, "Maybe this guy isn't so bad after all." Then I read the rest of it: "I like 'em shaved." Ugh. Total confirmation that this guy is just the all-around WORST.
I guess we can only hope this guy keeps smoking until he loses enough fingers that he can't buy any more metrocards.
