A compilation of 16 thoughts, both evil and ridiculous, NYC subway passengers are guilty of having.

The 16 have you ever moments we've all had on the subway

1.Have you ever caught yourself wishing that a Showtime performer would topple over backwards in the middle of their act?

After all, wouldn't that translate to never having to endure the awkward 3 minutes where you're a centimeter away from having a shoe kick you in the ear?

2.Have you ever forced yourself to stand because you didn't want to tell the man doing the "spread" to keep it together?

Your mind insisted that he may be a machete wielding maniac that'll snap at the slightest verbal reprimand.

3.Have you ever accidentally made eye contact, despite secretly hoping to pretend you are completely oblivious to the existence of the homeless man in front of you asking for change?

4.Have you ever silently cursed the living hell out of rowdy high school kids for talking and laughing too freakin' loud?

During that moment, you realize that it must be them, or you're simply getting old.

5.Have you ever been impressed by your ability to doze off, yet swiftly snap back into reality the moment it's your stop?

6.Have you ever needed to desperately pass gas and considered the irrational possibility that people may not smell it? Hell, even if they do, will they know it was you?

7.Have you ever caught yourself staring at the person across the aisle, thinking how darn good looking they are?

You've embellished their beauty in your own fantasy, and now think that this is the most beautiful specimen you have ever laid your eyes on.

8.Have you ever criticized the annoying seamless ads, only to realize that you've been ordering out for the last 4 consecutive days?

9.Have you ever made a silly and playful face at a baby looking at you from a stroller, and thought, "Woah, I can totally be a parent."

10.Have you ever wanted to give up your seat to someone you see deserves it, but glanced around and saw everyone frozen in their seats. "He's probably getting off soon anyway," you convince yourself.

11.Have you ever caught yourself being more troubled by where on earth that horrific smell is coming from than world hunger?

12.Have you ever asked yourself why you never see strangers forming goofy romantic bonds between passengers like you've seen in movies?

13.Have you ever caught yourself scanning ever orange, blue, and yellow line on the subway map, only to realize that ever stop is displayed on a digital screen?

14.Have you ever made an angry vow to no longer show fealty to the MTA on the weekend? Instead, you swear, there will be an alliance formed with Uber. Yet over the next weekend you're still standing on tha same platform with that same prissy expression glued to your face.

15.Have you ever secretly crossed your fingers, hoping that the obese person doesn't sit next to you?

16.Have you ever been applying mascara or eating a sandwich, only to notice the sign that bans it right above? You continue, smiling, somehow able to get the right touch despite the rattle of the train.
