Reply #62: I was on the Orange Line on Boston's T once [View All]

It's one of the sketchy lines in Boston (the Red line was the best, the Green always late! :()... but my partner was visiting for the week and BU wouldn't allow visitors over the spring break. So I found a deal with a Holiday Inn in Somerville. Nice rooms... shame about the area... not far from the T though... we walked quite handily.

I had to go check in before my partner arrived in and got on the Orange line.

This obviously drunk guy comes on with a black plastic bag with something inside it.

He is so obviously drunk and not even holding on I was like, "Please... get to my stop a little quicker!"

Time goes on... the plastic bag starts to slip and it's a fish.

I can't tell if it was a cooked fish or not..... I could see its eyes though!

I'm thinking, "Oh my goodness... it's a drunk guy holding a.. raw? fish!"

He's swaying around holding this fish. He doesn't seem to give a shit about who was around him though.

All of a sudden at my stop the train jerks forward...

You know what's coming don't ya?

A drunk guy? Come on...

Yep! He loses a handle of his fish and it falls down to the floor (it's a full bodied fish for sure, tail and all).

There's a bit of a line to get out (I'm certain people had enough of him). He notices his fish's fallen on the T's floor.

He picks it up.

Looks at it.

Then takes a giant bite out of it......

At that point it was exit stage right....

I kind of feel sorry for the other passengers who had a later stop though. Maybe it was cooked (it looked pink) but it was a whole fish, tail and all.
