40 HILARIOUS SUBWAY FAILS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE

Brenda Miller
We bet that if there is one thing many of us don’t miss since being stuck at
home, it's having to ride the subway every day. While the subway may be a great
way of transport, it’s undeniable that some of the most “peculiar” people out
there are found in the world of public transport. So if you're starting to feel
down about not getting out as much as you used to, take a look at these
hilarious photos and remind yourself that there are some upsides to staying at
home.
 
 


1. GETTING IN A LITTLE SELF-CARE

If you’re one of those people who go through a long commute on a regular basis,
then you’ll know how important it is to keep yourself entertained.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
So this guy decided to make things more bearable by putting some time aside for
his self-care and by putting on a face mask for the remaining time of his
commute. We bet his skin will say thank you for it!



2. THE PERFECT SUPPORT SYSTEM

As we look at this picture we wonder if this is what people have in mind when
they say that they use food as a crutch. Something about this guy carrying a
bunch of bagels on a cane in the subway is almost impressive.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
But the question is, would you be willing to eat any of these bagels if he came
up to you and offered you one?



3. WHERE IS HE GOING?

So, this is not the first or the last time we are going to see something
inexplicable on this list. It has been made clear that the subway sees some
strange people every day, and this guy is one of them.
Post Fun via Pinterest
The subway leprechaun looks serious and about to get down to business in this
picture, and we wonder if he is heading down to Wall Street to invest in pots of
gold.



4. IRON MAN RIDING THE TRAIN

It's not every day that one gets to see Iron Man's doubleganger riding the
subway. The resemblance is simply uncanny, and clearly, the guy knows it because
he is wearing the right shirt for the job.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
We do wonder if he is wearing it just for fun, for his job, or just because he
randomly decided to dress up as the actor who plays his favorite superhero.



5. IT MIGHT TAKE YOU A SECOND

At first glance, you might not be able to notice right away what is happening in
this picture. But then, just like that, you realize that this is probably one of
the most brilliant ways for someone to refrain from touching the subway pole,
which can be seriously germ-infested.
thachankaa via Reddit
And while this is a believable theory, we might also just be looking at a
plumber on her commute to work.



6. A TOURIST HAS REACHED TOWN

It’s hilarious how this person is sitting there as if literally no one else in
the subway could point out the fact that he looks really different from everyone
else.
MyJelloJiggles via Reddit
The guy could be going to or coming from a costume party, but we’re going to go
ahead and assume that this is just how he likes to dress up to have fun and,
most importantly, stay anonymous.



7. A PROTECTED RIDE

There is no doubt that even when the train is not particularly overpacked, some
people still take much more space than they should. This woman seems to be over
having people in her personal space, she found a perfect solution to the
situation.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
She simply boxed herself in and made sure that everyone in that train respected
her bubble.



8. A NAP WITH SOME PIZZA

How many people out there get to say that they wake up every day next to their
loved ones? Well, this guy sure does, as he seems to have fallen asleep right on
top of a lovely pizza.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
It is pretty hard to understand though, whether he intentionally wanted to keep
his eyes on the prize, or genuinely gave in to his tired soul.



9. A VICIOUS CAT

There are so many weird things about this picture that we don't even know where
to start.
MaximumCrab via Reddit
Although New York subways have put some restrictions on taking dogs to the
subway unless they fit on a bag, they didn't really say anything about cats. So
this guy took advantage of it and seems to have taken the city's feistiest cat. 



10. IS IT PIKACHU?

Now here’s something we don’t get to see every day. This is probably one of the
best Pikachu costumes we've ever seen, and whoever is hiding under it is also
totally rocking it. 
infantthrower via Reddit
It does look pretty creepy though that there is a hand sticking out from the
costume, confusing us on whether this is a cute costume or a really scary one. 



11. A MATTER OF GOOD VS EVIL

So, just by looking at this picture, who do you think you would put your money
on? Between Batman and Darth Vader, it's hard to say who would win, but we're
guessing that these two weren't actually about to fight each other.

For a morning commute though, this is probably one of the most hilarious things
you could see.



12. HE MAKES HIS OWN SEAT

Now here's a guy who wasn't willing to stand throughout his commute, not that
day at least! So instead, he decided to be proactive about the entire situation
and simply found himself some space on the floor.
nanj5ch via Reddit
Though it may not be the most hygienic place on Earth, at least he gets to rest
on his way home without having to share his seat with anyone.



13. WHAT A FABULOUS NINTENDO BAG!

Now, just by looking at this picture, we can't really tell what this guy has in
his backpack, but we can guess that he has a young soul in there and he won't
hide it from anyone!
winkysocks21 via Reddit
The guy is just rocking his giant Nintendo bag while patiently waiting to get to
his destination. Obviously, when someone noticed the unusual piece of attire
they had to share it online.



14. URINE SAMPLES ON THE WAY

There are a couple of things we truly appreciate from the guy in this picture.
First of all, he's a true sport because it mustn't be easy to deal with urine
samples on a weekly basis.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
It is interesting though that he is carrying such hazardous and important
substances on the train, making us doubt what is actually inside those boxes -
but we'll choose to believe!



15. A SASQUATCH SITTING ON THE TRAIN

Ever seen Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, right in front of your eyes? Well,
look no further. We are guessing that this guy probably had to take a job that
he wasn't very happy about, but he had to do it anyway.
Freavonwegen via Twitter
The result of it came with having to commute back and forth from work wearing a
Sasquatch outfit while looking pretty sad.



16. EVERYONE DESERVES A RIDE

It doesn't really get much more random than a guy riding the subway with his
peacock on his shoulder... or does it? Perhaps the strangest thing about this
picture is the fact that no one seems surprised by the guy and his bird.
BookerDeWittsCarbine via Reddit
There is a chance that he simply takes the bird with him on his commute every
day, hence the lack of interest in the strange occurrence.



17. A VIKING COMMUTING ON THE SUBWAY

As we can see from this picture, it seems like Vikings still ride the tube these
days. We only wonder if the security guy spotted him walking around the subway
with a spear and a crow on his shoulder.
LittleHaitian via Reddit
One thing is for sure though, we believe that his scowl and tough expression
implies that the guy means business. We're guessing that the best thing to do is
leave him alone.



18. A RELAXED TRAIN RIDE

Listen, life is hard, and some people commute for hours and hours on a daily
basis. Since this woman is done with being uncomfortable during the subway
rides, she decided to make herself at home.
nanj5ch via Reddit
We can appreciate the fact that she took off her shoes instead of putting them
on the seat, which at least shows some consideration for those around her.



19. THE INFLATED MAN

Seriously, it has to take some courage to wear an outfit like this when it's not
Halloween.
ice_wzrd_clsh_royale via Reddit
Though the guy obviously has the benefit of hiding his true identity, we have to
wonder why on Earth he would decide to wear an outfit like this one. In all
honesty though, at least he is probably protected from all of the hazardous
things on the subway, including viruses and bumps on the road.



20. PRETENDING TO BE NORMAL

Sometimes, all you have to do is do your best, and then everything else will
work out (or at least we'd hope so). This woman seems to be trying to be normal
by pretending to do so, but things don't seem to be going her way for some
reason.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
She is either really disappointed, or she picked out that shirt completely by
mistake.



21. YOU DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO

Sometimes you find yourself without many choices, and it seems like this guy was
in one of those days. Since he couldn't take his giant piece of wood anywhere
else, he decided to take it on the train while making the best out of the
situation.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
Props to him for not taking it during rush hours, which probably made a huge
difference.



22. TATTOOING EYES ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD

It seems like this guy got fed up with people constantly sneaking around behind
his back, so he decided to take action.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
Though we’re not completely convinced that his solution will make a difference,
we have to give him the benefit of the doubt. The guy simply drew some eyes on
the back of his head and we’re all for it.  



23. PAYING IT FORWARD

There is something really reassuring about people who don't know each other, who
decide to take care of one another.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
For example, when this stranger realized that cops were hiding on the other side
of the subway, they decided to leave a little note for whoever needed it. That
way, they were able to prevent many people from getting a fine.



24. WHEN MARIO WAS ARRESTED

We can only imagine the number of questions that the New York Police had for
Mario here. We truly wonder what this guy wearing a Mario costume did to have an
entire team of policemen placing him on the corner and interrogating him.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
Even if he did something unlawful, it mustn't have been easy for the police to
keep a straight face.



25. EVERY TIME IS PLAY TIME

Quite honestly, from all the unusual things we got to see on this list already,
playing with a remote control toy car is probably the most atypical behavior.
nanj5ch via Reddit
In fact, the guy seems to be having a great time making the best out of his
commute. Since he can't drive a real car, he settled for controlling one with
his remote, and he seems happy with his choice.



26. A VIRTUAL HUG

At a time where so many of us have not been able to hug our loved ones, this
picture sure brings up a lot of feelings.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
The "virtual" hug this couple is giving each other is basically characterized by
both of them being on their phone while they hug each other. It surely doesn't
get much weirder than that, but hey, each person with their own.



27. ABOUT TO CREATE SOME SUPERSUIT DESIGNS

There might be so many explanations for this photo, but we’re going to go with
the idea that she is indeed an interesting version of Edna Mote - The
Incredibles' incomparable designer.
AidHall via Reddit
We’d like to imagine that her car broke down or something, and she has to get to
work as soon as possible in order to get those super suits ready.



28. GETTING TATTOED ON THE TRAIN

There is no question that there are so many things to unpack about this picture.
Getting a tattoo usually requires a sterile environment, a steady hand, and not
many distractions, which is literally the opposite of what we see in this
picture.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
We don't really understand the reason why this guy decided to get tattooed here,
but he looks happy enough about it.



29. A STRANGE TREE ON THE TRAIN

Well, if you ever wondered whether or not things could get weirder then we've
got the answer for you - they can. Whatever is happening in this picture seems
to be making the woman next to the "grass thing" (it's actually a ghillie suit)
hold her laugh and we can't blame her.
LesAnonyMousses via Twitter
Whether it's a costume or some sort of joke, we have to give props to this
person's creativity.



30. AN UNUSUAL HEAD PILLOW

If there is one thing that is extremely annoying and uncomfortable about the
train it's having nowhere to put our heads when we need to take a nap. Sure, you
could take a neck pillow, but this guy wanted to take things a little bit
further.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
Instead, he created this interesting invention and seems to be sleeping his life
away.



31. THE FUNNIEST SUBWAY FLYER

In addition to the weirdest people being found on the subway, you also get to
find some pretty strange signs spread around the train.
subwaycreatures via Instagram
This unusual one, for example, says: "I'll wash your pet. Not your cat or your
dog tho. I'm talking about parrots, lizards, rodents, one by one, or as a group.
I clean insect cages. I can explain the death of a pet to your child."



32. A CABBAGE PATCH PERSON

There are no words to possibly describe why a person would dress up as a cabbage
patch doll.

And although the explanation is not there, this person made that choice, and
obviously, someone had to snap a photo of the moment. It could be a cap, or even
a light snack for the long ride - who knows?



33. RIDING WITH A FRIEND

This picture is the perfect example that if you are planning to take a nap on
the train, then you might as well do it either with a friend or, even better,
your significant other.

Why is that, you'd ask? Because the entire situation just looks a little bit
less awkward as the upcoming guy is about to show us. 



34. HAVING A SPARE TIRE IS IMPORTANT

There is no way to really predict when your car will break down, so carrying
around spare tires is one of the most important things when it comes to being
prepared for the event.

This man is proving to us how important it is to keep that tire safe no matter
what situation one finds themselves in. Also, he was caught sleeping at the
worst possible angle.



35. COMMITTED TO THAT MORNING WORKOUT

How cool is it that this woman did not let anything come in between her morning
workout and her schedule? She simply decided to make use of that time she spends
commuting to work in the morning, by taking her yoga mat and doing some yoga on
the train.

No one seems to be too bothered by it, so good for her!



36. A VERY INTERESTING SLEEPING POSITION

Some people have ridden the subway so much that they no longer care about what
people think. Take this guy for example. He simply had to get that nap in, so he
decided to lie down and literally fell asleep in the most unusual position.

By the looks of it, all he needs is a pillow and there is almost no difference
between the subway and his couch.



37. WHEN YOU DECIDE TO SHOW OFF YOUR SKILLS

Sometimes you just have skills that you want to show the world, and this guy
thought the subway would be the perfect place to do so.

In other words, he decided to clearly show off how he could choose to either
sit, stand, or hang on the subway while using his phone. As unusual as it is, it
sure makes for some great morning entertainment.



38. IT COULD BE DOOMSDAY

Now, this is an interesting choice of a pet to bring to the train. And of
course, the whole combination of her makeup, outfit, and everything about her
seems to be incredibly serious.

If we were on the same train as her it's safe to say that we would a tiny bit
frightened by the entire situation going on there. Hopefully, no other
passengers were scared.



39. DON'T STARE AT HIM

Okay, if you thought that anything we saw until now was frightening, that's
because you hadn't seen this picture yet, so get ready for it!

Seriously, if we found ourselves in a dark train with this guy staring at us,
rest assured that we would probably refrain from staring directly into his eyes,
or we would just get out of there for good. 



40. READING BETWEEN THE GUIDELINES

When new guidelines were shared by the New York Subway management team, dog
owners were disappointed to know that they could only take their furry friends
on the train if they fit in a bag.

So this guy decided to read between the lines and made sure that his cute husky
did fit in this bag, and was therefore allowed to commute with him.
