Commuter train culture is foreign to me. Is eating on a train considered animal like behavior?
To some, I guess it is!
What we don’t need is another law. When they outlaw spaghetti.......
Extra points for eating soup without spilling.
Irrespective of all of the idiotic comments on this thread, of course it is.
There are laws against it as a public health issue and I don’t think that anyone here would want to enter a car after about 50,000 people have been eating in it without cleanup.
Can you imagine the amount of refuse after a day of New York denizens have been eating in it?
It is not unheard of but generally not done on NYC subways. On commuter rails like Metro North, NJ Transit, or the LIRR eating is fairly common (though I don’t think I’ve ever seen spaghetti). Those are generally much longer trips and the trains are often not as packed as the subways.
In DC eating on the subway or in the station can get you arreseted, even if you are 12 years old.

Question for the room: does it bug anybody else to have people get on the airplane with their aromatic pizza or tacos and start munching down? Bugs the crap out of me, but I may (it has been rumored) just be a curmudgeon.
