New Yorkers are known to be aggressive, no nonsense and in your face kind of people, so it’s not entirely surprising that this situation happened. It started with the words, "What kind of animals eat on the train?" This question elicited the response, "What kind of fat bitches look like you?" This exchange of words between two ladies of different age groups and races quickly turned into a cat fight.
This behavior was very unbecoming of both ladies, but certainly very "New York." However, with 5 million people using the NYC subway, is it necessary for people to be able to eat on the subway? In my opinion, the brouhaha could have been avoided if eating on the subway was banned just like it is in DC.
Here’s the sign at the West Hyattsville Station in Maryland saying the Metro isn't a diner. What do you think?
