The challenges of a subway trip in the summer
Subway travel is preferred by many because it provides speed, cover long distances and predictability. These are the main reasons why more and more people use it.
In the last month, due to the high temperature, the shirt or short sleeve shirt are the favorite clothes. Washed or not washed. A matter of detail! A detail that, unfortunately, matters.
In the agglomeration generated by rush hours it has become increasingly difficult to travel by subway.
And not because of the density per square meter, but rather because of the pestilential smell generated by some of our compatriots. Among the smells we are forced to deal with are:
- the smell of sweat;
- clothes unwashed for months;
- The smell of urine impregnated in clothing;
- smell of cheap perfume;
- Halena or the smell of alcohol;
- The smell of flatulence.
If you have encountered such a problem, I expect you to leave a comment.
This is so sad, but in another way, so funny. Don't forget about the smell of socks and sweaty feet. They are even worse then plain sweat and unwashed clothes. Also unwashed mouths, this are as a bonus. If you ride for long you will get also to recognize what does people eat by the smell of their sweat. Bonus points go for a rich protein diet and garlic ;)
LOL I plead the 5th !!
Lol 👍
Lol - Lol - lol. I use to live in NYC - gosh I was afraid of the subway at first - could not stand it - for all the reasons listed above. I took it when I had to though. However in NYC - I developed an appreciation for walking but loved hailing a cab occasionally.
So unfortunately true!!
