Hot Dog!
I've never been a big fan of littering. My view is not universally shared as it's quite a popular pastime in New York City. Probably the worst form of littering is the class "subway dump" whereby a subway passenger waits until a subway stop and then just tosses their litter out the door of the subway car at the station. I always try hard to supress the raw rage that boils up within me when I see this. Today I had to try just a little bit harder.
When to doors to the F train opened I saw a hand extend out of the opening and throw a hot dog. The woman tossed the hot dog aside and it landed right on my leg. A whole hot dog. Hot dog. Bun. A beautifully applied curly-Q of ketchup. The whole thing.
My first response was annoyance, followed immediately by anger. I didn't get a change to get too angry as curiosity set in and took over for the other emotions. I mean, why would you throw away a perfectly good hot dog? The only reasons I can come up with (e.g. being a vegetarian, not eating pork, not being hungry, etc.) would not explain why the person had (and presumably purchased) the hot dog in the first place.
In an effort to better pick my battles I have learned to see certain littering in a better light than other littering. At least this was something that was biodegradable. It wouldn't derail the train if it fell on the tracks.
And certainly the subway rats would enjoy it.

that is just....totally bizarre!
maybe she's part of a secret ninja clan that throws hot dogs instead of shuroken.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....
....We'd be lying though.

What a douche bag. You should chucked it back at her and shouted obscenities. That would teach her.
