You Meet the Craziest People on the Subway Sometimes

New York City. There is no end to the variety of people you meet on any given day. Most are alright. They're like you, commuting to and from a job. Some like to tell you to Repent! The End is Near! Some like to ask you for money. Some like play a song for you, or read you a poem.

Some people seem perfectly OK.

Then they appear to be looking at something that only they can see.

Then they start talking to people that may or may not be there.

The worst thing you can do is make eye contact with anyone on the subway. It is the golden rule of subway riding.

Because then the person you are looking at might talk to you.

Or start gesturing to you. This person seems fairly harmless, though. Except now that I've made eye contact with him he acts like he knows me.

And once they act like they know you....
The crazy just bubbles up to the surface.
