E.Pkway 2/3 train grossness - around 9 a.m.
Hi all,
First, hopefully the rest of you that got puked on at the E.Pkway stop managed to get off the train soon and were OK.
Second, I am a-ok after getting puked on by that random MF, just had to go home, strip, exfoliate, wash my shoes and put on new clothes.
Third, thanks to the cops who were allegedly checking bags but really just there for me to joke around with re: puke, sick passengers, and hope that it didn't happen the second time I descended into the station.
Fourth, to everyone I passed on Washington Avenue during my not-my-fault walk-of-grody, no, I did NOT puke on myself.
Fifth, yes, the girl in the black cords (all black outfit actually) with puke on her legs was me! oh yay.
Sixth, someone please tell me today is going to get better?
xo

Uff da.
How could it get worse?

Aw, I'm sorry! That sucks. If it helps, you weren't the only one near vomit. I think yesterday must have been puke day.
My co-worker was heading to an event at her daughter's school in the middle of the day, so she was on a nearly empty Q train which always means something weird will happen.
Of course, the girl sitting across from her puked all over. They were outside going across the bridge so she was trapped until DeKalb. -

oh gross. I was SO grateful that I was able to get back off the train and just go straight home to change/cleanse/exfoliate/etc. being stuck is ultra-gross.

That really blows (chunks), Nadia. I feel for you. What were the circumstances before the explosion? Did he give any warning? Was he right next to you? Did he freakin APOLOGIZE? Did people comepletely bug out?
Give us the gory details. -
Who was the puker? Drunk? Genuinely ill?
I got on the Q train at 57th/7th coming back to brooklyn one night last week to find a girl who had passed out in the process of puking all over her shoes and fancy handbag (which she had placed between her feet when she sat down). She woke up a minute later, realized what she'd done, and then stumbled off the train. Pretty gross. -

not certain. I was on the train all of 6 seconds. in one door, out the next. he looked "normal" but all of a sudden hunched over and puked. no clue.
:? :shock: -

I actually have very few details. I walked on the train, he puked, and I walked off - same stop. I heard gasps, and he clearly puked all over a few other people - I just got some backsplash - so I know there were upset folks on the train. but I was in the car just a few seconds - just long enough to et puked on.

ah that sucks
i once was very close to tossing my cookies on a subway car but I held it till the next stop and walked to the far end of the platform away from everyone...
and this too was in a packed car...
but sometimes you just gotta do it and there isn't enough time...
too bad this person couldn't try to avoid people somehow -
I've puked on the subway lots of times, it's no big deal

i sure hope you don't mean on the subway and in fact on the platform
otherwise that says it all for me -
platform, car
-
turns out someone who used to be a poster here saw me get puked on - he was proud of my quick movement in the aftermath of backsplash. he says no one else got puked on but the guy kept puking for like three stops and then pretended he didn't do it.

i did get projectile-vomited on once when i worked at a box office. this woman walked up to get her tickets, opened her mouth to tell me her name, and then.... luckily, the box office had a window with only a few openings. still, it was pretty dramatic, and she looked REALLY surprised.
your story is way worse, though. i'm STILL upset about the time a kid on a ferris wheel upchucked down on me. and that was when i was 4. -
Isn't it a bit too hot out to be wearing cords?

ohmygod, what is up with the recent rash of subway pukings. maybe someone should start a google map. hahahahaha. oh wait... sorry... anyhoo. me= on q train on a saturday or sunday... i cant remember which, but i was in town, so that narrows it alot. guy sitting next to me... me by the window and him on the seat that is near the door. i remember staring at him and wondering, as i had just heard something on some podcast about the number of people who refuse to give strangers mouth to mouth in medical emergencies, if I would give this guy the proverbial breath of life. i deemed him BoL worthy, despite my homosexual leanings and felt somewhat pleased with myself for my sudden good naturedness. (the backstory is key in setting the tone here). So as I am staring at BoL candidate, he starts to sweat a little bit. We start to come into Canal Street and he gets up to stare at the door waiting for it to open. Seconds before it opens he projectile vomits against the window pane. Door opens, he walks out. Platform standers don't move. In fact, in truest New York fashion, no one flinches. Afterall projectile door vomiting from BoL candidates is the every day experience here (as much as the homeless Elmo tip guy) right? Lady in the disabilities seating spot got a wee bit o' spray, but overall I give him a 8.5 for containment. We proceeded over the bridge to Canal as it rolled on down the door. No doubt once it dried someone leaned on it. I went home and ruled out BoL for any viable candidates, hetero or homosexual proclivities and decided to invent a latex commute suit. buyers?

Yeah, but were you wearing cords?
-
Courdoroy leisure suit to be precise. Good catch... a detail not to be omitted.

i hope your day got better!

Can you sue someone for puking on you? I wish. Never happened to me, but a girl did puke across from me. Yuck. Does getting puked on warrant a trip to the doc? I would freak! Sounds like you handled it pretty well! Hope you had a good day afterwards!

it was the worst thing that happened the whole day which, I suppose, isn't a shocker but I was afraid it meant the day was just going to get worse, ya know?
I think it actually is assault but really, who wants to stick around and figure it out, especially if you're wearing easily washable/replaceable clothing? -
Bleah! Oh honey, that sucks! Dreadful.
Only been puked on once, but not in the subway. I was babysitting, the kid was jumping up and down on the bed right after dinner, and just moments before I had said, "Evan, seriously, you have to stop. You're going to make yourself sick."
When the parents came home later the mom took one look at me sitting in their living room with wet hair, wearing her sweatpants and t-shirt with the washing machine running, and said, "I have a feeling we're going to want to pay you double for tonight." -
Man, you better get tested. Flying body fluids can be dangerous.
-
maybe its that virus that causes people to puke has come around to nyc.
it was in asia like last year.
Howdy, Stranger!
