Wow, people suck—and by people, we mean the degenerate dudes seen pissing inside subway cars in YouTube videos. MTA micturition: It's unfortunate when homeless people do it, but at least you can feel some sort of pity for them. But the three laughing peeing jackasses in these videos compiled by Asylum?

To be fair, maybe we should expect this when the filthy MTA bathrooms are locked overnight. Or maybe some people are just unconscionable ingrates. Watch one video below to start your day with an invigorating cup of contempt:
