On One Seriously Fucking Annoying Thing Some People Do on the Subway
07Apr08
In which The Gay Recluse has a bad day and indulges in a lil rant.
Here’s a shot of one seriously fucking annoying thing some people do on the subway, i.e., leave their shopping bags on the seat next to them when the entire train is filled with passengers. Most days we would just tell the guy to fuck off and move his bag, but today we were too tired and annoyed to bother and so just filmed him being an inconsiderate asshole stood there.
Hey Mister, you’re taking up two seats, but we don’t mind standing! Your little orange shopping bag? He looks really tired…he obviously deserves a seat of his own! (It’s also cute that you’re talking to him!)

hey, maybe there was a small child in that bag or a goldfish. leave the damn shopping bag alone
Point taken, marcwmarc! Like I said, I was having a bad day and wanted to rant a bit. But you can be consoled by 1) I didn’t actually make the bag move and 2) I always give up my seat when approached by bags containing small children or — especially — goldfish.
