At 9:30 this morning, Man was spotted taking up three seats on the G train as he devoured his breakfast sandwich, which according to other nearby humans lent a fried egg fragrance to the car. The sandwich presumably came out of that plastic bag, which is taking up a prime end seat on the train. Man also broke a bunch of other subway etiquette rules—let's list them off: Eating, Eating Smelly Food, Bag on Seat, Other Bag On Other Seat, Legs Crossed In Space-Consuming Fashion, Coffee On Floor, Dog Out Of Carrier...
Sorry to drag you into this Dog, we know it's not your fault, and you look extremely embarrassed about all of this bullshit Man has subjected morning commuters to. We acknowledge your head is hung in shame, even if Man remains blissfully unaware.
