The Mad Cow Boy

So if you ride the T a lot chances are you've encountered a crazy before. You may see some people talking to themselves, making strange noises, making strange movements, hell I've even seen someone just lay down on the bus floor for no reason. I'm not here to hate on and make fun of people with real issues but in this particular instance, I must admit I was quite frightened as were the rest of these passengers. I always feel like the ones who talk to themselves are the most dangerous from my experience.
Anyways here's how it started. Before I begin let me just say it a pretty ballsy move for me to even snap this picture, because I'm sure if he saw me he'd rip my head off. So I get on the train and take a seat across from this dude. Of course he looked pretty normal at first. Sitting next to this dude is a petrified woman with the most frightened facial expression i have ever seen. I'm kind of confused as to why she looks like this. She gets off at the next stop and another innocent lady sits next to him. This is when he starts talking to himself. I don't even know what hes saying but in the midst of his private conversation, I see his face start to turn beat red. Now I don't know if his imaginary friend pissed him off or what, but he starts punching the hand pole next to him. People kind of glance at him here and there, but nobody wants to actually look like their staring at him. By the time we get to park street I'm already surprised he hasn't hurt someone yet. Before the train stops he gets up and walks to the door waiting for it to open. He starts punching the door with all his might making a whole lot of noise. People are freaking out. The train finally comes to a stop and the doors open. He then darts out of the train car and heads straight for a pile of plywood that was being used for construction. He starts punching it like hes Rocky Balboa training for the big fight against Apollo. The doors close and we start pulling out of the station. We can hear the loud impacts of his punches against the wood as we depart. There's not much more to this story other than I thought it was hilarious he was rocking cowboy boots. This was one bad ass crazy.

Beware of those who talk to themselves.
Until next time.

  1. this guy was on the red line, right? When I saw him, a number of days ago... I thought he was a hilarious character. He had his feet up on the seat and singing into phone
