New York Minute 107 - Unsanitary Condition

This was a first. The subway that I was riding this morning stopped at a station and sat there for a few minutes before the conductor made an announcement. She said that the train was going to be delayed due to “an unsanitary condition in one of the cars.” 

I don’t know if you’ve ever ridden the subways in New York, but sanitary they are not! Whatever happened must have been ghastly. 

The conductor said that they were going to have to close off the fouled car before they could move again. I opted to take a different line and walk the extra blocks to my destination. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with a stinking mess.
