Everyone reads on the subway, but not everyone should. Just take a closer look at the title of this gentleman’s book. Maybe that’s something he should have taken out on a Kindle or e-reader instead of the hard copy. Maybe it’s just a joke, and he wants a reaction from his fellow riders; he’s certainly getting some laughs. Someone published this book; he’s just reading it.
We can laugh, but it’s hard to judge. Makes you wonder what other titles you’ve been missing by ignorant passengers on your morning commute. We hope this guy finds love and that we get to see him with the second part of this book series, “How to keep your girlfriend happy, even when you are always late from work, being stuck on the Subway.”
So, Have You Seen This Movie...?
Have you seen the movie Saw? If not, this may not look as upsetting to you as it looks to us. If this guy wasn't planning on scaring anyone, we can't quite decide what this mask choice was really all about. That kid doesn't seem to mind, he's taking that picture and doesn't look frightened in the least.
It doesn't look like anyone got hurt yet, though Saw is a long movie. We are guessing that this look made many more people laugh than scream when they saw it, however, of it were us, we would g for the emergency stop button.
Eye of the Tiger
He could play the part, but it doesn't really look like this guy is on his way to audition for a 'Tony the Tiger role. I don't know that they'd cast him as Tigger, either. It's good for a laugh, but I can't tell you what his real story is; maybe he doesn't even remember why he got dressed up like this.
Is it near Halloween? Is he making sure his outfit will still fit for the big night? Unclear because no one was willing to ask. It would be the type of thing you'd wear to entertain kids, but I don't think anyone was letting their kids near this guy, either.
When You Have to Make a Deadline
This is what a dedicated employee looks like. When a deadline arrives, when the work needs to be finished, sometimes you have to get creative. A laptop is supposed to be portable, but a laptop stabilizer is not quite the same thing. It's clear he was not ready to make small talk, he had a job to do.
He was focused, on his computer and its stabilizer, because a deadline was looming. It's not something you see every day, no matter what mode of travel you take. We would imagine it would give you a laugh at the very least.
To Wear or Not to Wear a Shirt
There are countless signs someone wants to be left alone. This guy's shirt is wide open, and his stomach is certainly not the sort of sign one reads and wants to approach for more information. His arms are also out, as if he's preparing to fly or wrap the shoulders of his neighbors in an unasked-for-bear hug.
And, let us not forget the very clear man-spreading happening here. Hopefully, he doesn't want anyone to talk to him because he is sending out all sorts of "stay away" signals. No one is sitting less than two seats away from this guy, and for good reason.
