Subway

The internet hasn't been kind to Andrew Yang of late. But it's really his own fault. The failed presidential candidate turned New York mayoral candidate has been gunning for the approval of the city's residents. It's normal for candidates to suck up to voters, but if you ask New Yorkers, most of them will say he's been doing it wrong.

His first New York-related offense? Calling a bougie Midtown deli a bodega. For those who aren't aware, a bodega is the city's version of a convenience/corner store. They're not shining delicatessens filled with matcha and gleaming glass. Most of them have boast cats, cheap beer and sandwiches, and are run by locals from Yemen, the Dominican Republic, or Puerto Rico. 

He's also managed to receive scorn for giving away the family dog, being much, much worse at basketball than Adam Sandler,and alienating Muslim residents with some seriously short-sighted comments about the war in Israel. Today, however, the internet is up in arms over the third episode of Ziwe's satirical interview show on Showtime. In the episode, Ziwe chats with Yang about billionaires, race, politics, music - and his favorite New York City subway station. Unfortunately for Yang, he chose the station closest to his home: Times Square. 

Anyone who knows anything about New Yorkers should know that many of us would rather die that find ourselves even blocks away from the tourist trap filled with wide-eyed out of towners, chain restaurants, and a serious lack of public restrooms. To natives or longtime residents, Yang's choice was more proof that he's out of touch with the city. And, as usual, New Yorkers on Twitter had a lot to say about the matter.

Warning: don't browse through these memes and pics if you don't want your perceptions about life to be completely turned upside-down.

In case you've ever wondered what the astrology signs look like in the form of crazies on the subway, look no further! Okay, so you probably have never wondered that in your life, but we hope you'll still get a kick out of these pics. Although they may make you want to go out and buy your own car afterward...

It's a pretty well-known stereotype that the subway system in New York City is full of crazies and weirdos, and these pics prove that to be true. Well, weird sh*t probably doesn't happen that often, but we're still incredibly amused by these bizarre pics of people in public places who just do not give a flying f*ck!

It seems like every brand these days is using some profound human experience to sell their product in hopes that it'll insight some feelings in their customers. We've seen Burger King do it, and apparently now it's Subway's turn. 

Twitter user Ryan Simmons pointed out that a Subway commercial made in Brazil went completely over the top, to say the absolute least, in this new dramatic two-minute video. The seemingly heartfelt ad features a young boy coming of age and ends with him ordering a sandwich at Subway. How the hell Subway's marketing team thought that one up, we'll never know. 

The ad features the main character creeping on his own mother, peeing in a fountain, and shaving his head. Yeah, you're just going to have to watch it to even remotely understand what we're talking about.

Dogs in New York City aren't allowed on the subway unless they fit into bags, so in typical New York fashion, people are improvising - by putting their big dogs into even bigger bags. We're sure that the authorities are thrilled about the level of sneaky creativity that people have been employing!

If you've ever ridden public transportation, you're well aware that some seriously freaky things can occur when trying to get from point A to point B. Lizzie O'Leary asked her followers to share their wildest subway stories and they do not disappoint. From goatse (don't google that at work) to snakes on trains, the tales of woe are incredibly entertaining.

New York City's subway system is notoriously horrible. The MTA offers a melange of inconvenient construction, public defecation, constant delays, and even controversial line closures. Commuters battle with rats, garbage, dancing youths and sometimes even violent passengers. Unfortunately, not every subway saga is as adorable as pizza rat. Vice writer Sara David has opened our eyes to a whole new world of public transportation psychosis. A ludicrous tale involving rush hour and hard-boiled eggs. Brace yourselves - this tale ain't pretty.

Getting from point A to B is pretty damn important, but sometimes we wonder if leaving the house is even worth it. Public transit is so often a cruel joke instead of a convenient service. These tweets and memes really hit the nail on the head.

Most people know what they're getting when they order from a fast food restaurant. It's not Michelin Star dining, so it's pretty doubtful that these establishments would go above and beyond in the areas of food safety. These comments, culled from an eye-opening Reddit thread confirm what we've feared all along. Also, you should NEVER order a tuna sandwich from Subway.

You'll never want to take the subway again after you read these awful stories!

Getting to work is often the worst part of legitimate employment. Whether you're stuck in traffic for hours a week, or packed into a subway car like a sardine. The perk of subjecting oneself to traffic is the sweet solace of being alone. Straphangers of the world do not enjoy this luxury. We are confronted by offensive smells, sights, sounds - and even touches - during our daily commutes. We've rounded up some of the most disturbing (and entertaining) tales and videos from the web for your cringetastic enjoyment. When you're through you'll be begging your boss to let you work from home.
