What's the craziest thing you have ever seen someone do on public transit? (lemmy.world)

Given that the exact same question is the current top post but for driving instead of transit, I feel this question was needed.

My answer: I saw some guys hooking up a Raclette Grill to the outlet in an otherwise empty German intercity rail waggon. They had it unpacked in one of these 4 person seats with a small table. No idea if that could work or if draws too much power from the board net. I just headed on to the next waggon.

Cars catch a lot of hate, often for valid reasons, but I've never seen people doing this stuff in my car at least

Oh the city is saturated with batshit crazy drivers that have serious main character syndrome.

As a very recent example, I almost got mowed down at a crosswalk by a guy in a sports car who decided to floor it in reverse through a red light without looking, while turning

There's virtually no traffic enforcement so people will park and drive literally anywhere without a second thought. I've seen ambulances and fire trucks get blocked in too many times to count.
