In what may possibly be the Biggest Subway Douchery Act Of The Season, several carefree bros were spotted transporting their iron patio furniture on a packed 1 train during rush hour yesterday. Let's collectively wag our fingers at them:
Listen bros, we know you need a nice hard surface to get your flip cup game on, but seriously this type of behavior won't get you laid faster than those pleated pants won't get you laid.
The witness to this massive subway etiquette fail, Joe, says he even overheard the bros saying they didn't care if anyone said anything to them about this being an inconvenience. Sadly, no one did say anything, so it's our job to now publicly shame these bros (who we also hear are virgins).
