    Gross. I would have freaked out and I'm not even especially afraid of rats.

    I have pet rats. Domesticated rats are quite sociable and I have never been bitten by a rat, and I have handled over 60 rats in the last 6 years. I used to do temperament evaluations at the local pet store for the ratties they wanted to sell as pets if they seemed finicky.

    My son is 18 months old and he can pet my rat without her being bothered or afraid of him. If you adopt a rat from a private breeder at about 8 weeks of age and they have been socialized they make wonderful, tame pets. They are not skittish and will ride on your shoulder, lick you, clean you, use a litter box, walk on a leash (harness), play hide and seek, and will come when called. They are a much safer pet than hamsters, because hamsters have a tendency to bite are more aggressive in nature than domesticated rats.

    The rat in the picture looks like some variation of a dumbo, possibly Agouti. I can't see all of the markings. The "dumbo" ears were created in a laboratory, it is a genetic mutation and "dumbo" rats' skulls are shaped differently than "standard ear" rats...i.e. wild rats' ears and non-dumbo domesticated rats. They look like elephant ears .
    If you are willing to do for one year what other's won't, you can spend a lifetime doing what other's cant.

    One of my good friends lives in hells kitchen. There is always a big crew of rats on corner of her street. I don't walk on the side walk to get to her place. I walk on the street instead. There is a chance of me getting hit by a cab just to avoid those rats. haha. They are hard core!!

    It's too bad they're not edible. Pigeons actually are so you'll never see them taking over but rats have no natural enemies in the city except cats. I think everyone should get a kitty as part of their civic duty!

    Talkin' bout me? LOL. There is one street where the rats invade the garbage bags, causing the bags to rustle, roll, and come alive once the rats get inside.

    I can't imagine a rat biting someone unless it was cornered, but then again... it is NYC. I'm guessing NYC rats are ballsy.

    OK, I would have told the conductor that fool was on there with the f-ing rat. You're not allowed to have animals on the subway and you're not allowed to eat on the subway. Why? Because they bring funky-ass RATS! What a moron. And where the hell does he live where people have rats in their houses? Is he crazy?? Douchebag.

    OK, that rat running around? I would have BEAT. IT. TO. DEATH. That nasty....I'm telling you now it would have been ON!

    Eating on the subway is hazardous. Complaining about people eating on the subway.... can be way more hazardous.... (fight starts at 2:00 minutes) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15ZRSdr1oO4

    They snatched the video unfortunately but I'm not surprised. I've been known to get into some spirited...erm...debates on the subway, the bus, etc. The food alone doesn't bug me but feeding your nasty, cage-less PET? Unbelievable.

    But seriously, why must people eat food on the subway. If they are damn near starving or have blood sugar issues I get it. However, pasta... a cumbersome meal even when sitting down in a restaurant is not the ideal snack on the go. Why don't folks eat a granola bar, a pretzel, or a friggin slim jim? Hand-held and much, much, much less offensive.


    WTF is next? eating a giant bowl of ramen on a train? C'mon!

    And then when it sloshes on a neighbor what do you say? Just wrong. And they never want to throw their cans away! You get the long black streaks on the floor because these fools won't pick up their cans and garbage and take it with them. Ach!

    That is one theory.

    .... or a lady can drop trough and take a leak during rush hour and create a similar phenomenon: http://gothamist.com/2011/07/22/vide...o_beat_the.php

    Maybe she was trying to wash the streaks away.... You can see the liquid on the floor. Oh lord!

    it seems like people want to eat the most absurd shit on the trains. i have seen milk and cereal being eaten during rush hour and i do not understand. how can you think this is acceptable? why are you eating an open container of tomato soup?
