The subway (or "metro"if you're European) can be a strange place. Anyone who's ever used it for their daily commute can attest to the fact that the experience is largely boring, punctuated with extreme weirdness.

The subway's a great place to get some last-minute work done. Most of us make due without a proper desk or flat surface, but this guy is uncompromising. He brings the entire coffee table.
Personally, I'm somehow not surprised by the fact that there's a raven on the subway, but rather the size of that raven. Am I the only one who was always operating under the belief this gothic winged creatures were way smaller?
Sure, you can tell yourself there's probably some dumb cosplay thing going on downtown. But you can never shake the thought that maybe, just maybe, you really did sit across from Iron Man.
"Psst, wanna buy a kitty?"
Incognito kitty is the stealthiest kitty. And the side-eye its owner is giving just makes this picture purrfect.
Subway seating is never comfortable, but we just sorta have to deal with it. But Scruffy's not the kind of janitor who's willing to settle for anything less than the utmost comfort.
If this guy isn't earning a solid living as a Barack Obama body double, or at the very least a Barack Obama impersonator, he's wasting his natural talents.
Unless this is some kind of weird staged photo (if so...why?), I don't have any explanation for why ALF, the alien life form we thought we left in the '80s, is casually chilling on the metro platform.
The guy who posted this was convinced he ran into his younger, beardless self on the subway. I think it's more likely that they're two guys who are rocking the same shirt. Either way, I hope he passed on some sage wisdom.
New York's subway system has some rules prohibiting larger dogs from riding. But if a dog can fit into a small bag, they're good to go. It isn't ideal, but these two make it work.
This commuter is trying to adhere to the same rules. But putting your dog in one of those gigantic Ikea bags and cutting leg holes in it to make it a dog poncho seems like it might be toeing the line.
"A full bottle of wine rolled out from under a subway seat and then these 2 strangers popped it open and started drinking it. This is peak NYC."
The fact that a full crew of Power Rangers is riding the subway is noteworthy in and of itself. But I'm more intrigued by their identical pose. Do they just sit that way the whole time?
I guess if you go around saying you "gotta catch them all," then you really do gotta catch them all, even if they're on the subway with you.
The person who posted this kindly blurred the faces of the random bystanders. None of them seem to be too concerned by the purple-haired demon calmly playing Clash of Clans.
One ankle's straight up invisible while one appears to give away the illusion. But does it show the edge of the leg or the edge of the shadow that's behind an invisible leg?
We don't know where Tomatoman came from or where he's going. But let's hope a reunion with his fellow burger toppings is imminent, because he looks pretty lonely.
This girl clearly didn't have a second to spare, but I'm just concerned for her safety. And, of course, the safety of the deeply uncomfortable riders flanking her who probably don't love that she's using a knife on the subway.
This could be interpreted as a Photoshop attempt gone horribly wrong. But I think it's actually a case of not enough Photoshop. Someone behind the scenes clearly thought they could provide a little extra lift and go unnoticed.
You're on your way to work; this guy's taking his flip flop for a walk. There's more than one path in life, and that's all that really matters.
This guy decided to set up his hammock on the subway. No jokes here, I'm just impressed at his ingenuity.
Look, I appreciate the effort, but could this pup just be trained to...sit wherever instead? Bringing a rocking horse onto the train feels just a little bit elaborate, you know?
My inner troll appreciates the person who apparently goes around leaving creepy dolls on the subway. But my inner coward hates them because I don't ever want to encounter this firsthand.
What are the chances two men dressed identically would chose the same time to take a nap in the same position?
This girl was clearly fed up with people touching her on the subway, or even getting too close, so she constructed the ultimate "keep away" outfit.
I love the fact that the hat graphic appears to be unconnected to any other sign or advertising. This leads me to the conclusion that it was put there specifically to make it look like riders are wearing silly hats.
It might not match your Hollywood/Disney ideals, but this is what real life looks like. It isn't about Instagram stars and reality TV. It's about heartfelt apologies scrawled on pizza boxes aboard crowded subway cars.
This fancy gadget will keep your head up while you nap on the subway and nothing has even been so perfect, except perhaps the expression on the woman seated next to him who clearly wishes she had thought of the same thing.
Wearing the full Lederhosen getup might make you look like you belong at Oktoberfest. But it doesn't give you the necessary experience to drink like you belong at Oktoberfest.
The NYC subway thing has clearly gotten out of hand. We've got huskies in backpacks and nothing makes sense anymore. Let's give them their dignity back and let them ride like they used to.
