Yes, but the second one is so much more fun!

That would be me. :D Details below.

I rode the T for 4 years (plus return trips) and I NEVER heard a story like AlphaGam1019's!!!! YUCK!!!!

I did the Orange Line once. ONCE
Needed it to take my GREs. There were a flock of college students in their shirts who may as well have been wearing signs that said, "We're not from around here."

Re: decadence's post
Sitting on the Green line, just out of Park Street. Some geezer decides he's going to rub himself up against me.

I was carrying an umbrella. It "slipped." Hard.

I'd like to think that "Chester" would be unwilling (or unable....) to pull that stunt again.

Eww, sorry that happened to you on your trip to Boston.

My two weird subway stories:

I had just arrived in Paris in 1998 and I was waiting to take a train from the airport to downtown Paris. The train arrived and a woman steped off wearing nothing but a trench coat....she throws off the trench coat and starts to run away. A dozen or so guys run out of the train and start to chase her out of the station.

Another time I was on the Red line in Boston and there was an amourous couple on board with their hands down each other pants and making out. I was with my class on a school trip and we stared and giggled (we were pretty young) but that didn't seem to disturb the couple.

all your stories about boston (however disgusting they maybe) make me realize how much I miss the trials and tribulations of riding the T every day to work for nine months (braintree all the way to science park...not fun!). Although pole dancing on the last train outbound on the red line is always fun :).

anyways i have a subway story although amazingly not from Boston. A friend of mine was studying abroad 2 years ago in Paris and I decided to go visit her for spring break. In the end, there were 3 of us visiting her that week and we decided to take the train out to Versailles. There was only the 4 of us and this mid 30s frenchman sitting across from us. I was in mid-sentence when I looked over at him and noticed something on his lap. I didnt want to make it obvious that I was staring at him but I glanced over again and noticed the tissue in his one hand and sure enough he had whipped it out right there in the middle of the train!! I was freaking out and he sat there straight faced and continued his business and clearly did not care that we caught him in the act. We got up and moved to another end of the train but that didnt stop him from obviously staring at us again and pleasuring himself one more time. yuck!

someone remind me to take PARIS off my list of places to visit before i die...

LMAO! That is exactly what made me come to this thread! I thought it was about the restaurant! My only (not even very interesting story) about Subways were while we were in London. My husband is always looking for opportunities to say "MIND THE GAP" in his worst British accent! Also, in Paris, we watched some pickpocketers...that was really weird!

aj

On the MTR in Hong Kong, there are automated announcements in Chinese (I presume Cantonese) and English that say things like "Please mind the closing doors", "Next stop: ___", and (as the train pulls into certain stations where the platform is curved so the doors aren't always quite next to the platform) "Please mind the gap between the train and the platform."

My husband and I had a running joke while we were in HK: "Please mind the gap between the train and the platform." "AHHHH!" "He did not mind the gap between the train and the platform."

OK, it was silly :p

we did the same thing when i was in school in london!!!
