Why? Is it against the rules to tell someone to not eat, or to call people animals? If the rules are in fact what we should use to judge these actions, then the white lady didn’t do anything wrong by saying something.

Bunch of hypocrites in this thread. It isn’t against the rules to say something to someone about eating either.[/quote]

I haven’t looked it up, but I’m pretty sure harassing other passengers on the train is against the rules. [/quote]

LOL. Then I think pretty much everyone breaks that rule. I don’t think saying something to someone being rude is harassment.

People spill crap all the time and you know none of them clean it up. It’s why subways always are so nasty.

100% not a rule to not eat on nyc mta. Its PUBLIC transportation. Youre allowed to eat in PUBLIC. [/quote]

That was covered a while ago.

Its pretty much just you in general. Youre a bit slow and say funny (retarded) things. That’s all, no biggie.

In other words you have no idea and were just trying to be an ass any way possible? Let me retort in a way you can understand:

You’re a poopie head.

Sorry, it isn’t easy to try to get down to your emotional and intellectual level.

Go be a douche bag somewhere else.

Once again you come on, start telling me how wrong I am and have no factual support or logic for anything you say.

You’re correct that there’s no rule saying that you can’t eat on the subway, but not because it’s in public. You’re not allowed to eat on Washington DC’s public transit subway, the metro

That would be an exception to the norm; that you can eat in a public place. The norm is NOT that you CANT eat in a public place. Common sense would have one assume that you are allowed to eat in a public place and that you are not allowed to eat in a public place when an exception is made.

You are allowed to eat on the train BECAUSE its public. You arent allowed to eat on the DC train BECAUSE an exception was made. Your logic is off a bit.

Except that where I grew up you weren’t suppose to have food on the subway either. Grant it the subway was no longer publicly run. But it isn’t unreasonable either way.

Not really. There are plenty of public places where eating and drinking are prohibited (Museums, classrooms, Busses, libraries). It’s pretty common. You can’t assume that because you are in a public space you are allowed to eat.

It’s not the norm.

Heh heh.

Um, yea you can. Well at least in the United States of America you can.

74

All this bickering…It’s settled, next time I’m on the train I’m getting the king size shrimp box and a couple of fish fillet sandwiches.

Come at me, Bro!

75

LOL, you would fit right in on the N train by Canal Street, right next to the chic eating fermented kimcheee dumplings.

I hate when people eat shit on the train, would I say anything, no, its not like there taking a shit on the train (which I happened to witness, a bum did it).

But seriously cant you wait?, NYC city trains are disgusting filled with filth, bacteria, rodents, germs, WHY THE FUCK would you eat on a train, fucking spaghetti no less…wait till you get home.

Now the fat white lady was out of line and possibly borderline racist…but eating on the train is plain old disgusting and a real strike against personal hygiene.

Seriously, at 6am when Im on the train, the last thing I want to smell along with the modicum of morning breath is someone eating a stinky ham egg and cheese on a onion bagel.

And in the summer when its 95 degrees down there last thing I want to see is some dickehead eating a messy whopper licking his fingers and then holding the strap hanger again.

I hate the subway…all the more reason that I may have to move out west one of these days.

I leave lower manhattan around 7pm most day. I want to be in the gym by 830. I dont want to lift on a full or even half full stomach. Im eating on the train. Im sure you arent smelling my cold cut sandwhich, piece of fruit and pretzels. Smelly shit is the problem, not food in general. Obviously the folks coming from canal street eating their salted fish snacks or whatever they are stink up the whole train. I also dont see how eating a sandwhich on a train is any less sanitary than eating at a fast food place. Its not like Im setting up a place setting on the seat next to me.
[/quote]

To me its the lesser of two evils. Is you eating your turkey sandwich different than this broad slurping on her spaghetti dinner? sure it is, but if it was up to me there would be no eating on the train. The fact is most people dont give a shit and will toss the unused portion of their food wherever (not you, but many people).

I would much rather eat my whopper at the BK lounge rather than the 4 train. I would definitely say the BK lounge is cleaner than a subway train…too many people…too close proximity. A fast food joint will have some kid mopping and cleaning down tables intermittently not the subway.

77

i thought this was Baltimore at first. MTA= Maryland Transit Administration. Shit like this happens all the time in Baltimore. Back in the old days when I get off from school, I always eat on the bus even though it’s technically against the rules. Usually, nobody gives a shit, but when they do, I just ignore them and continue eating.
Fat bitch must be from out of town or something. Everyone knows that you don’t mess with sassy black girls.

78

I still say she didn’t instigate it. Well…she did when she called them animals, that was asking for trouble let’s be honest, but the spaghetti-hos were talking to one of the guys in front of the white woman when she said “yea…what kind of animals…” meaning she was effectively agreeing with something else that was said. My guess it was the dude who ended up breaking the fight up.

Dude says something about eating on the train or being hungry. Spags and bols throw back a bit of banter. Fatty crosses the line thinking someone’s got her back and opens up a can “oh shit” and can’t back down for fear of looking weak.

Not that it makes any real difference I guess. But I think if the dude hadn’t have said anything - fatty would’nt have opened her mouth in the first place.

No, it’s not. Just because it’s public, you can’t assume that there’s no rule against eating. I didn’t say you should assume there IS a rule, but neither should you assume no rule. Other examples of public places where you can’t eat have been pointed out. Whatever, it’s apparent that you and Duce have some kinda grudge, I’m not getting involved.

Actually, what’s most upsetting to me in this thread is that everyone thinks that’s spaghetti. It’s pretty clearly sesame noodles.

He follows me into threads and tries to look for ways he can insult me. It’s actually kinda sad when you think about it really.

I’m surprised that the New York doesn’t have the same solution to eating on the train that Marta does in Atlanta. All the cars reek so badly of urine, it isn’t possible to eat.
