Slightly unrelated:

I was sitting on the 1 mid train, in a seat nearest to the doors. Another guy was seated one seat over from me (an empty seat between us.) A short obese woman no less than 400lbs got on the train and decided to "fit" between us which clearly wasn't happening. She began to butt (body) check each of us by attempting to swing back and forth into the seat. Basically, had she had been sitting there before us, she easily would have been occupying 3 seats. This is wrong. I don't give two shits why you're obese, but more than likely it's not genetically related—and more because you can't control your eating habits having cake three times daily along with your 48oz cola, double cheese burger, bag of gummy bears from Costco, and potato chip crumbs down your shirt.

Perhaps because she was a woman maybe we should have give up the seats, but she was rude, self-entitled, and either way would have taken up three seats, which in my opinion, should be counted as three people—a fare of $6.75—this submission and acceptance of obesity should be regulated and embraced—perhaps Congress should focus less on SOPA and more on banning obesity.

People are so rude. That dog should have just sat in her lap or on the floor. My service dog sits on the floor, usually tucked under the bench.

keep your great soul NYC...don't become a selfish prude obsessional clean bitch! A NYorker living abroad, madly in love with the NYC spirit.

Is it me or is he looking uglier these days.....?

I love dogs and cats, but isn't the rule that all dogs on the subway must be in carriers? Except for service dogs. My cat hates the subway. Too noisy!

Oh, just sit on it.

white people smell like wet dogs BTW i'm a black albino 

this crazy old bat must have been on the A or C train

MTA's rules are strict.  Why don't they just start making people buy their dogs an adult fare to ride, muzzled, in the subway?  A big carrier would take up more room than just having the dog on your lap (where this dog should have been).  I love my dogs but this person has very poor manners.

OMG! Give the poor doggie a break.
He's so cute, dogs are our friends.

The dog must be a New Yorker. ;-)

Hey if the dog is taking up a seat, did it pay for that seat?

How could you even think to ask Rosa Barks to give up her seat?!

should have photographed her face too to shame her

because a dog is on a subway seat...the shame, oh my!

Is it a dog or a hog?.. I can never get a straight answer from this website.

Damn, enough with fucking dogs already.

I am an avid dog lover, but just can't stand how people personalize and accessorize dogs so much (yesterday I saw a woman on the train taking home a newly bought astro turf poop mat for her dog to piss and shit INSIDE her apartment). If that dog is on a seat, its not the dogs fault, its the fucking owners fault. The argument over rights isn't so much "ugly fat people on the subway vs dogs on the subway, but the audacity of the dog owner to say, "my non paying dog deserves this seat more than you." Let the dog sit on the floor already!

Other things I hate about NYC dog owners:

- Dumb girls with their furry rat dogs sticking out of their Prada/Gucci/LV bags on the subway
- People that are too lazy to give their dogs walks essentially making their dogs, well, cats
- People pushing dogs in strollers
- People letting their hairy dogs lay around on couches and sleeping with them in their beds
- People feeding their dog organic food and taking them to doggie yoga
- People feeding pellet food to dogs their entire lives
- People who have dogs but find themselves hiring dog walkers and kennels, because they're too    busy to take care of their dog
- People who blur the distinction between humans and dogs

Pendejo.  ignorant person.  compassion for animals doesn't meant they dont the difference between human species and canine species. Also it is their money and they can spend it as they wish as long as it does no harm on others.  

Dude, learn to write.

Easy there, cowboy.  Some of us support our failing artistic/creative careers by walking dogs.  Dear rich/spoiled/lazy people, feel free to ignore your dog as much as you like.  Keep hiring dogwalkers.

P.S.  Is there really doggie yoga?  That is so awful that it almost becomes great.

Sorry, didn't mean to step on the toes of the dog walking industry.
