Subway Meet-awkward

Documenting awkward subway interactions that shouldn’t be remembered, but played on repeat in my head for I couldn’t scroll:

Accidentally made eye contact with a woman subconsciously sipping boba¹. I hadn’t actually seen anything, but she reacted as if she were caught red-handed.

Two adjacent seats opened up in a row of five, and the old man instantly snagged the middle one when he already had the side seat, now leaving single open seats on his left and right.

The poodle was leaning comfortably out the cage the owner intentionally left opened. In my mind, “Someone call animal control, it could run any second!”
