If you love to eat lobster, then you know all the precautions you need to take before you crack into the messy crustacean: long bib and wet towels first of all. Not everyone who wants to enjoy a lobster feast can do so under these conditions, as this man on a New York subway demonstrated.
“Cracking claws, flying shells, and a symphony of slurps” that’s what riders witnessed as a man, in true New York style, calmly enjoyed his feast while riders stared and phone cameras recorded this unusual event. He was completely unfazed as he plunged into the lobster with his bare hands.
While the spectacle was entertaining even by New York standards, it did spark a firestorm of opinions, mostly having to do with the sanitary hazard that it caused on the public transit system and the level of disrespect it showed fellow riders.
One poster opined: “ugh! then people ask why so many diseases recently.”
Another wondered: “Couldn’t have wait until home?”
But a more astute observer had a possible answer: “U left out the fact that the commuter has a wrist bracelet from possibly Bellevue Hospital…”
