I took my usual 5:22 train out of White Plains. Cane Lady was there, as was Warm Guy. Everything was very normal- so far... We arrived in Grand Central without incident. I made my way to the subway, and after dealing with the Escalator People, I caught the 7 train. We arrived at 45th Road Court Square and I transferred to the G train. I had NO IDEA the blogging and commuting gold I was about to stumble upon...
The G train was, as usual, waiting at the station. I walked to the last car, and then towards the rear of the car. I noticed the very last seat was empty. That's my favorite seat and I thought "Awesome!".
As I got closer to the seat, I noticed something was on it. Now, often times there is litter of some sort strewn about the seats, but this was nothing I had ever seen before. This, dear blog readers, is what was waiting for me:
That's right- 2 condoms out of the package and a condom wrapper. Here is a close up for you to enjoy:
I looked closer and saw this stain - I had originally thought it might be an ass print, but upon further inspection, it looks more like the condom was pushed around on the seat, and its lubrication made these marks. I'm still not sure though:
I was enjoying this tremendously. Laughing out loud as I snapped these pics on a very crowded G Train where either no one else noticed, or no one else cared. I could barely contain my glee, thinking "I can't wait to blog this!"
But then it got even better when I noticed some faint writing, in what appeared to be pencil. I went in for a closer look and made out these words-
In case you can't make that out, it says "I lost my virginity right here" (with an arrow pointing down to the seat). And was even dated "10/23/08" - which was the current date. So at some point - maybe hours, perhaps only minutes earlier, someone either actually had sex on this seat, or constructed an elaborate display to make it appear they had sex, and quite possibly lost their virginity, on this seat of the G Train.
I shared this story with Miss Heather and Mr Heather last night. Mr Heather's opinion of the situation was that it was "romantic". I'm not sure that's how I would interpret it, though sex in a moving subway car is certainly on my to do list.
So to whomever is responsible for this, whether it was true or not, thank you. From the bottom of my cold, selfish heart. This was a fantastic end to my day.
And in other news, I'm considering never EVER sitting on a subway seat again.

Special Thanks to Miss Heather for linking this post from her blog. And to Gothamist for picking up this post too! Thank you! Miss Heather also darkened the writing on the seat. You can see it better here:

Bwahahah! Yeah, I don't think I'd be sitting on any subway seats for a good long while. At least not without some protective barrier. *snort*
And you KNOW this stuff only happens to you!
wow. funny. those condoms don't look used though....
i would guess it's a display...
Lore- that's what I love about NYC. It doesn't just happen to me - The random insanity is all around. That's why I strongly suggest carrying a camera at all times.
Yvonne, I didn't see gobs of fluid in the condoms- but that doesn't mean they weren't used. I can't decide if it's real or just a joke.
I think the subway car would have to be completely empty for two people to get away with having sex there. How often are NYC subway cars completely empty? Therefore, I'm guessing it's a joke.
Quite often the G is in fact completely empty - especially late at night. It also can sit in court street for 40 minutes or so. If you were to choose one train, it would be the one.
It's true about the G being very empty at night- and if this were true it would most likely have happened then. I stumbled upon this at 6pm, but it's possible it had been there since 1am or something. And that also means that every time the train pulled into Court Square and was cleaned, the MTA workers avoided touching that stuff (I don't blame them). But I am guessing by now it's been cleaned.
Hahah! I don't care if it's true or not, it's still funny! :)
wow! joke or not, that is fucking awesome!
here is my opinion:
1. there have been several times when i've been alone in a G train car, had i been travelling with a consenting adult we totally could have *done it*.
2. those condoms don't look used to me. and the "splattering" on the seat looks more like lube than any sort of fluids.
3. two condoms? i think that's pushing it. who has sex on the G train twice?
I KNEW greatness happened on the G train. Don't diss people, don't diss. It's my favorite one. Plus cutie girls that I wanna meet.
That is all.
if one partner were wearing a skirt, say, it would be totally possible to get it on while appearing to sit on the other person's lap.
i've suspected that's what some of the schoolkids get up to when they're being all PDA at the end of the car.
innocence my ass.
Three words: Banksy was here.
I've been privy to all sorts of behavior that I pretend to ignore... and been a participant in behavior that others have pretended to ignore. I can totally imagine that happening under the "nothing is happening" noses of fellow travelers on the subway. Modern life...
What no used candles to set the mood were left?
