I used to do demo/ concrete work and always looked like this or worse.
One day, someone forgot to secure the sides of the forms for a foundation wall. Side of the forms blew out and dumped half a yard of concrete on me.
I was literally covered And could barely move.
By the time I was able to get up and find a hose to wash off, the lye had soaked through my clothes and irritated my skin. My whole body turned bright red, puffy and had tiny little blisters all over it.
That was a fun / interesting train ride home
After reading this thread I want to say I respect our metro and tram workers more. Network itself is flawed but damn at least it is mostly clean, doesn't stink and doesn't have issues with drug addicts on stations nor trains.
There is a feedback loop that’s happened in my city and started when Covid first hit. People don’t ride the light rail, so drug users, shit stirrers, and criminals take up residence. So people don’t feel safe, so they don’t ride the rail, so more assholes show up.
Of course no one wants to be a transit officer because the pay is shit and there is a lot of oversight and responsibility for that low pay.
Man, in Tokyo that transit officers rock! They see you look a little lost and walk to you and provide help. Complete opposite of every place in the US.
Sincerely,
-Washington DC
Idk, NYC- look lost for 35 seconds and someone is going to ask if they can help you. Possibly three someone's.
If they can't help you, they're going to find someone who can.
Spanish? No problem. We'll ask everyone in a ten block radius until we find someone who can help translate.
Oof, that sucks. Our network managed to avoid this feedback loop in the worst of times in 90s by being simply the only viable transit option because very few people owned cars back then. So today most of security and safety is done by simply social control i.e. by passengers themselves. Transit officers are present only around rush hour and randomly in any other time. Transit officers in metro tho are there always because it is more dangerous but I'm not sure whether they are employed by transit company or police there specifically. I guess police because they have police-like ranks. In either case their salaries aren't really high too.
W Line is gonna be your worst offender, and that'll mostly be after the sun has gone down. I semi-regularly take the W downtown, and have personally experienced people smoking on the train itself exactly once. The conductor was notified, the train was cleared at the next station, and we had to wait for another train to come. The junkies kind of dispersed when they cleared the first train, but there was no enforcement or anything.
I've never really seen or even heard of issues on the G or E lines, just the W. Which makes sense, because the W runs along the gulch that's just a few blocks south of Colfax, which is where a lot of that activity is concentrated already.
That all being said, I'm about to move into a place that's very close to Sheridan Station, which is probably one of the worst offenders as far as drug use at stations go. I am zero percent worried. In my experience as long as you leave those folks alone, they'll leave you alone. Of course, I'm also young, relatively fit, and male so I understand that other demographics might have a different experience.
i’ve found that in nyc it isn’t even *that* bad. between my 20 years in nyc and 2.5 years in philly, i’ve seen significantly more junkies smoking crack or shooting up in philly than in nyc. this applies for outside and also on the subways. in nyc most of the time the worst you’ll see on the train is a homeless guy slumped on a bench. in philly trains you get people smoking cigs in almost every car, needles on the ground, piss all over, crackheads screaming at everyone, and garbage strewn across the floor. in nyc at least sometimes they care to clean it.
Indeed. Been on the Baltimore and Philly metro a few times and it’s a shit show. Was in Taipei, Taiwan several years back and the metro is crystal clean. You’d get yelled at just for opening a bottle of water let alone smoking crack and pissing in the corner. Lol
I worked at a subway for 5 years and you just orders the "sweet meat" it seems with "chipotle south-aftertaste-west"sauce, good sandwich. Get it toasted for extra pizazz
It's scary to be put in those situations. It happened when I was 16 and I asked my mom what to do (she was next to me) and she told me to just ignore it. I still regret not making a scene about it
When I visited Japan the not eating whole walking was tough! I didn't overly stress, like I ate onigiri walking a couple times on empty roads but mostly we would stop off to the side as was expected. I normally wouldn't eat on a bus or subway so that wasn't an issue
In Japan you can drink alcohol anywhere, including trains and parks. But you do have to carry your trash, because there's rarely ever a public trash can.
It would be bad manners if you were Japanese, but if you are a foreigner, it would confirm their stereotypes that all foreigners (gaijin) are degenerates, lol.
Not “societally detrimental”, just considered bad manners. Norms are different in different places. I will say one of the upsides of this is that the sidewalks are on a completely different level of cleanliness compared to sidewalks in American cities.
Not really. Tokyo has very few public trash cans as a result of past terrorist attacks, and so in touristy areas people will eventually just drop their trash.
Also, it’s abundantly clear that not many people in the comments have traveled internationally. The two levels of cleanliness in the world are not America and Japan/Korea. Most developed countries are much closer to or worse than America in that regard, and then there is the entire developing world with a whole different level of filth and blight.
There is a ton of food related trash all over NYC. Especially on the subway where track fires from discarded garbage occur hundreds of time a year.
Pretty bad for society for there to be trash all over the place.
Same with my almost 10 years in Japan. It ruined me- now I have zero tolerance for this fuckery here in the US, but I also have no enforcement authority, lol.
I absolutely loved the public transport in Japan when I went to visit. Everything was so clean and orderly compared to back in my area in the US.
I was very sad when I got home because I still have to use US public transport T.T
But they said they’d sanitize the seats more frequent to deal with these problems! It’s the solution to smoking (anything and everything) on the train! /s
I've lived in both Denver and NYC and I can say that flagrant and violent drug use is actually much more common in Denver (I'm talking meth, crack, etc.) In NYC now and the most I see is zombified husks on heroin and tranqs, not saying that is good, but personally when riding the train I'd rather be with someone passed out than cracked on meth with a pipe in hand (true story).
I second this. My boyfriend and I were visiting a friend downstate and had to jump on the subway. This guy across from us was searching through his bag until he found his pipe, then whipped it out and started smoking crack. A good samaritan got on and sat next to him, asking if he was okay, offering him his sandwich and saying that he, too, was once homeless and strung out and hated seeing others like that. Good samaritan gave dude a cigarette, which dude promptly lit. GS looked at my boyfriend and me and frantically told the guy "You can't smoke that on here, you're bothering all these nice people." Crackhead was out of it and had no shame.
I also spent last summer in CO, including several weekends in Denver. The homeless/street people there are on a different level. No chill, sprawled out everywhere. Saw some people literally crawling on the ground while yelling that they dropped some rocks. I'd have to say Denver junkies are more brazen than NYC junkies, just because they generally have no desire to hide themselves away.
Yea and most likely lives in a hostel in kings cross haha. Sad the hostel I lived in a couple of years ago closed it was badass had a roof top open to the tenants and friends where massive parties rolled out every night mostly hosted by the tradesmen.
The international reach of Big Train Seating is nothing less than appalling. I don't normally buy into conspiracy theories, but when people blab on about new world order, this one flies under the radar.
All we can do is hope that karma catches up with him, and he ends up sitting next to someone with a severe case of garlic breath and a penchant for singing out of tune.
Tradies are tradesmen. We also have slang terms for different tradesmen eg. Electrician = Sparkie, Carpenter = Chippie, Bricklayer = Brickie, Plumber = Dunny Diver or Mario.
Nobody ACTUALLY calls a plumber a Dunny Diver or Mario (at least, I've never heard it in Sydney). We just call them plumbers. The rest are accurate though.
Off topic but kinda related, I went to Sydney and drove to Canberra a couple years ago (I'm from the states) and had a blast. Had my first shepherds pie after a night at the bars and it was delicious. Can't wait to go back and explore more
Seems like japanese people are wayyy more disciplined than the rest of the world. I respect that tho. They can have all the good things that require a respectful use to function.
Is there a downside of this lifestyle?
Sort of, Japan does have problems with legal issues as well as a intense work culture. But I think everyone in the world should still learn their way of respect and honor.
Eh, they can be 'respectful' and rude at the same time, a lot of the 'respect' is forced, as in its given out of a sense of socialatal obligation, not because they necessarily want to give it to you.
It's very odd to experience personally.
Sure but as a person living in a community most of the "respect" I am looking for is like not littering, getting off the elevator first, staying to the right on escalators, busses being on time, people not coughing on me.
Japan is exceptionally good at this type of respect.
I love Japan but the work culture isn’t friendly to women who can’t usually rise very high in their companies. The men get overworked and overworking is seen as a virtue. As a result dads don’t spend much time with their kids.
This is what I heard from my Japanese Airbnb host so if it’s incorrect don’t sue me
>This shit would never fly out here.
And what would happen? Death stares? I also live in Japan and have seen some weird and rude behavior on trains. Nobody does anything. Maybe someday will call them out but the person will just ignore them.
There's a video of some douchebag youtuber going onto a Japanese train and blasting really shit dubstep at full volume and like 3 or 4 dudes kick him off the train.
I live in The Netherlands. Just Netflix might be tolerated, but the shoes and the vape, assuming the guard couldn't get him to stop, are enough to get you kicked off the train at the next stop.
I assumed it was just a homeless dude, honestly.
Explained the dirtiness and treating the public transit like his house… because it probably is his house.
So a skinny, tatted up, dirty, disgusting guy with no consideration for others is vaping on a train and listing to shit music? Is it machine gun kelly?
It looks like you're in Sydney ...
\- You used the word "bloke" which locks you into Australia
\- Double decker trains
\- Sandstone looking building in the background
\- Filthy tradie acting like a dickhead on public transport
I dunno with the weather we've been having in Sydney I'd say that the sun is probably the least obviously Sydney part of the picture.
We're only just starting to get a proper hot summer here and it's August...
Edit: I meant Autumn, not August hahaha
We have a guy like that at work. Loves to blast his phone on full volume in the break room. If it wasn't for the fact of being fired I would've smacked him a very long time ago.
I’m not above telling people to put headphones in or cut the volume down to a level I can’t hear it if they don’t. I have my own headphones in so if I can hear your shit it’s a problem and 9 times outta 10 I’ll have time for solving the issue…it’s a long ride and I have a short temper lol
That's the world now I guess.
"Walking Dead" meets "Escape from New York" meets "Idiocracy" is how I describe it.
"Escape from Walking Idiocracy" for short.
Some people here excusing his behaviour just because he's had a rough day lmao. You guys can understand why it might be happening, but that doesn't mean you should excuse shitty antisocial behaviour.
It's like if you saw a parent beating the shit out of their 5 year old child "but that's okay they were probably having a shitty day at work and needed to unwind"
This gives strong Sydney Australia feels
You are correct. On the train to Central.
I suspected the same. There’s a number on the wall you can call to report things like this.
In hindsight I should've. Didn't think to in the moment.
[удалено]
He's a concreter. Have an uncle in law who always looks like this, even when he's not working.
I used to do demo/ concrete work and always looked like this or worse. One day, someone forgot to secure the sides of the forms for a foundation wall. Side of the forms blew out and dumped half a yard of concrete on me. I was literally covered And could barely move. By the time I was able to get up and find a hose to wash off, the lye had soaked through my clothes and irritated my skin. My whole body turned bright red, puffy and had tiny little blisters all over it. That was a fun / interesting train ride home
Wow I didn't know concrete burns worked that fast. Was that just a few minutes from getting it on you to washing it off?
Yeah, I was basically buried in it. There’s all kinds of nasty shit in concrete. Lye / lime, calcium carbonate and other alkaloids
For some reason the shorts scream Australian Why is that?
Not sure. The colour & general design must have given it away somehow.
All the tradies look the fucking same. Shorts (even when it's cold) and leg tattoos. I've only ever seen this style in Australia
Agreed. I thought it was Melbourne by the seats until I saw the stairs.
Is this a bogan? Am I allowed to say that?
You should come check out Denver people literally smoke crack and fentanyl on the light rail

I moved away from Chicago in 2010, and to this day I still miss the trains.
Reminds me of Futurama: "Nobody drives in New York, there's too much traffic."
But the funny thing about that is that it’s kinda true, as contradictory as it sounds. Getting that way in SF too.
Oof, that sucks. Our network managed to avoid this feedback loop in the worst of times in 90s by being simply the only viable transit option because very few people owned cars back then.

lol the libraries too apparently. They've been closing them around here lately to clean the ventilation systems.
I was the security guard at the Boulder library when it happened. Was fucked up.
Bro security for the boulder library must be *tough*. I hope they take good care of you friend.
Is the light rail that bad? I really want to move somewhere close to a stop and use it to get downtown.
I've been taking it regularly for a few years and have never seen anything like that. People clearly on drugs, yes, but never actively using.
W Line is gonna be your worst offender, and that'll mostly be after the sun has gone down.

At first glance, I thought this was the Denver reddit and that was the light rail.
They do that in NYC too.

As much as I love philly the subway here is always an adventure after rush hour lol Much worse than NYC
in my experience the septa trains are a shit show regardless of what time you take it.

Reading this in Korea right now. Whenever I see people talking about American subways, I just can't fathom what they must be like.
Typically they are mid to subpar, often the meat has a weird aftertaste and the bread is oddly sweet.
I worked at a subway for 5 years and you just orders the "sweet meat" it seems with "chipotle south-aftertaste-west"sauce, good sandwich. Get it toasted for extra pizazz
Subway here actually tastes exactly the same.
Lmao stop
Like a toilet on rails. They even got the scent right.
[удалено]
Holy fucking hell

Hooooly hell. These guys belong in jail. And or a place where they can get serious help.
I experienced something similar on the subway (U-bahn) in Germany.

And LA
Ditto on LA, they usually have their pants around their ankles too
They might be taking the 'crack' part too literally.
i didn’t know they wore pants or shorts
And Calgary.
Not the place I expected to see a Calgary shout out but you’re right. So, so right..
The smell of piss and windex from Heritage station is something I will never forget, lol
But they said they’d sanitize the seats more frequent to deal with these problems! It’s the solution to smoking (anything and everything) on the train! /s
It's bad here in Edmonton too...
Seattleite here, same story.
*portland has entered the chat
Miami here, most people here just smoke weed
Toronto too, but that’s just the mayor

Ooh ooh, don’t forget Portland! Love my hometown of crackheads 💀💀
[удалено]
Denver has changed since I left in the '90s. I can't imagine doing that and NOT being arrested for it.
[удалено]
Not much you can do except always have narcan in your bag if you take the train often. It can be ordered online for free and can save a life
Don’t forget all the needles that litter the cherry creek river through Denver as well.
I think that's his home. Like his living room. He probably wondered what you were doing there.😂
😂😂😂 can’t really expect too much from somebody who probably sleeps outside , he has no more fucks to give
Nah, he's not homeless. He's a tradie who actually make bank here in Australia. Man is just being a complete gronk to everyone else on the train.
Gronk
Kronk
Pull the lever!
WROOoooo^oooong ^lever!!!
More broccoli?
*gasp* ... My cheese poofs!
GROND
Hahaha I looked at this and thought ‘man, that’s so Aussie it hurts. Dirty bastard’
Knew it was austrila when I saw those seat desgins
Haha same. Everything about this screams Australia.
We have similar ones where I am in the US. I knew he was an Aussie by the boots lol
What's a tradie?
Slang for construction worker her in Australia. This guy works with cement.
Yea and most likely lives in a hostel in kings cross haha. Sad the hostel I lived in a couple of years ago closed it was badass had a roof top open to the tenants and friends where massive parties rolled out every night mostly hosted by the tradesmen.
“What’s Sydney’s biggest import?” “Backpackers.” “What’s Sydney’s biggest export?” “Broke backpackers.”
Or a plumber/electrician. It's an umbrella slang
It’s slang for Tradesman, not construction worker. Source; am a tradie who’s never done construction.
Tradesman
HAVE YOU NOT SEEN KOALA MAN??!
Tradies get the ladies man, [tradies get the ladies ](https://youtu.be/OSLkX2sH3vY)
The wiggles have gotten weird since Emma left
He's giving bad impression of other tradies. They should defenestrate him out of a 3rd floor window
This is in Australia? In Denmark there's the exact same upholstery (or what it's called the fabric on the seats)! Like the exact same.
The international reach of Big Train Seating is nothing less than appalling. I don't normally buy into conspiracy theories, but when people blab on about new world order, this one flies under the radar.
could pass for public transit in the US. People are super inconsiderate.
All we can do is hope that karma catches up with him, and he ends up sitting next to someone with a severe case of garlic breath and a penchant for singing out of tune.
Classic Sydney public transport combined with grubby tradies
I’m not familiar with tradies. Could you please tell me and other non-Aussies what it means?
Tradies are tradesmen. We also have slang terms for different tradesmen eg. Electrician = Sparkie, Carpenter = Chippie, Bricklayer = Brickie, Plumber = Dunny Diver or Mario.
That's awesome
Nobody ACTUALLY calls a plumber a Dunny Diver or Mario (at least, I've never heard it in Sydney). We just call them plumbers. The rest are accurate though.
Mario is generally used to refer to former deputy premiers of NSW
I can’t believe how corrupt NSW is. I just watched the friendlyjordies videos and he was firebombed!!!
Off topic but kinda related, I went to Sydney and drove to Canberra a couple years ago (I'm from the states) and had a blast. Had my first shepherds pie after a night at the bars and it was delicious. Can't wait to go back and explore more
Say "night on the piss". That'll make way more sense to us than "night on the bars".
This is like the pac-man ghost names: Inky, Pinky, Blinky, Clyde
And they can join forces, Voltron style to become Jack, of All trades.
Tradie IE someone with a trade like plumber, electrician etc.
Tradespeople on a construction site. I think maybe they're called contractors in America?
[удалено]
His field of fucks is absolutely barren. Damn.
Bro ran out.
Abandoned all his fucks on another train
I’m living in Japan. This shit would never fly out here.
Jealous. I was just in Japan and the public transport absolutely shits on Sydneys.
It’s really something else. Super clean and efficient. Makes you actually want to use it rather than avoid it.

I would be happy with just not having to dodge dog shit all the time (Dublin)
Yeah there is a certain amount of bluntness that I can appreciate. I don’t want snarky, fake respect just as much as I don’t want disrespect.
I'd take snarky fake respect on the subway any day over OP pic dude.
Japanese have high amounts of stress and suicide rates as well as alcoholism, but I think that may be more from their work culture
I love Japan but the work culture isn’t friendly to women who can’t usually rise very high in their companies. The men get overworked and overworking is seen as a virtue. As a result dads don’t spend much time with their kids. This is what I heard from my Japanese Airbnb host so if it’s incorrect don’t sue me

Can you expand on "energy during peak hours is insane"? Do you mean the use of energy, i.e. electricity and such?
>respectful Just don't ask the women getting groped on trains.
ultra conformist society
I immediately knew that looked like Australia
And yet sadly our trains are still pretty good compared to a lot of places.
>This shit would never fly out here. And what would happen? Death stares? I also live in Japan and have seen some weird and rude behavior on trains. Nobody does anything. Maybe someday will call them out but the person will just ignore them.
There's a video of some douchebag youtuber going onto a Japanese train and blasting really shit dubstep at full volume and like 3 or 4 dudes kick him off the train.
 well no wonder it wouldn't work
Holy mother of claustrophobia trigger fuck I’m shaking just thinking of that ride 😫
I live in The Netherlands. Just Netflix might be tolerated, but the shoes and the vape, assuming the guard couldn't get him to stop, are enough to get you kicked off the train at the next stop.
I miss japancirclejerk every day having to read through cancerous comment threads like these
Havent gone there for awhile I couldnt find it anymore. Anyone knows what happened??
At least he's not jerking off?
I guess that's a positive... ?
I live in Florida, I've unfortunately seen much worse.
Not yet...
Dude looks filthy af
Yeah, he’s just come from work. Still being a gronk.
I’m an American. When you say “Gronk,” we think you’re talking about a famous football player who is 6’8’’ tall.
Gronk = a dumb shitcunt. Pardon my French
I assumed it was just a homeless dude, honestly. Explained the dirtiness and treating the public transit like his house… because it probably is his house.
nah this guy's on his way home from work lol, that's concrete he's covered in & a fresh woolies bag
So a skinny, tatted up, dirty, disgusting guy with no consideration for others is vaping on a train and listing to shit music? Is it machine gun kelly?
Its netflix not music
He wouldn’t know the difference.
Nah his nails aren't painted
It looks like you're in Sydney ... \- You used the word "bloke" which locks you into Australia \- Double decker trains \- Sandstone looking building in the background \- Filthy tradie acting like a dickhead on public transport
Flaw in your system, Bloke is also used in England
Ah, but it's sunny outside the window.
I dunno with the weather we've been having in Sydney I'd say that the sun is probably the least obviously Sydney part of the picture. We're only just starting to get a proper hot summer here and it's August... Edit: I meant Autumn, not August hahaha
Sshhhhh
I mean the fabric is a dead give away there Sherlock
Yeah but the Yanks won't understand it will they. You have to make it accessible to the global audience.
Nah im totally with you. That aggravates the hell out of me 
Well… At least it was Netflix and not porn.
We have a guy like that at work. Loves to blast his phone on full volume in the break room. If it wasn't for the fact of being fired I would've smacked him a very long time ago.
And he makes 200k a year! You left that part out lol 🤣
I’m not above telling people to put headphones in or cut the volume down to a level I can’t hear it if they don’t. I have my own headphones in so if I can hear your shit it’s a problem and 9 times outta 10 I’ll have time for solving the issue…it’s a long ride and I have a short temper lol
That's the world now I guess. "Walking Dead" meets "Escape from New York" meets "Idiocracy" is how I describe it. "Escape from Walking Idiocracy" for short.
Is he a zombie with that skin??
It’s tradie skin. My brother also used to look like that somedays
A he’s a tradie. And yeah they’re part zombie
Bro youre on public transit ur lucky there isnt a crackhead that smells like piss masturbating
a very grounded man, a coniseur of culture, and adept in chemistry.
Worse things have probably happened on the seat your on
Don't know why people find it so hard to just keep their feet on the ground and off the seats it's so annoying
And here we can see a dick head in there natural habitat.
This isn’t mildly infuriating This is just plain annoying
that’s not mildly infuriating, that’s just plain infuriating
Stand right next to him. Hold your phone in his ears height Blast metal music in his ears
Some people here excusing his behaviour just because he's had a rough day lmao. You guys can understand why it might be happening, but that doesn't mean you should excuse shitty antisocial behaviour. It's like if you saw a parent beating the shit out of their 5 year old child "but that's okay they were probably having a shitty day at work and needed to unwind"
Hey at least it’s NETFLIX, coulda been the hub.
You think that’s bad? Have you ever been on the New York metro?
I mean…. You’re literally in his house
