So I'm on the 6 train this morning, half asleep, when this woman (easily 50s, wearing like 6 layers of clothes and a shower cap) starts screaming at everyone that "the government replaced our feet with robot feet" and we all need to take our shoes off to prove we're still human.
Most people are just ignoring her like usual in NYC, but then she locks eyes on me and yells "YOU. YOUR SHOES LOOK TOO CLEAN. GIVE THEM TO ME RIGHT NOW OR I'LL RIP THEM OFF YOUR ROBOT FEET."
I politely told her no. She then stood up, took a fighting stance like she was in the UFC, and started doing this weird shadow boxing while screaming "I TRAINED WITH THE SPIRITS, I'LL SEND YOU TO THE SHADOW REALM."
The whole car was dying laughing. Some dude started filming and she turned on him next. Eventually the conductor came through and she ran off at the next stop still yelling about robot feet.
Only in New York man. Anyone else have stories of absolutely unhinged people on public transport? Because this city is full of them.
