Saw a guy eating a whole rotisserie chicken on the 6 train yesterday

I take the 6 train from 86th to Union Square every morning, and yesterday around 8:15 this guy sits down across from me. He pulls out a full rotisserie chicken from a plastic bag, no plate, no napkin, just starts tearing into it. Grease dripping down his chin, bones piling up on the seat next to him. Nobody said a word, everyone just stared at their phones. The smell was intense, like Thanksgiving crammed into a subway car. By the time we hit 23rd he was down to just the carcass. Has anyone else seen something this wild on their commute or is this a new record for weirdest subway snack?

Wait, is this the same guy who ate a full pizza on the F train last month? I heard someone talking about it at work. That chicken thing takes it to another level though. The bones piled on the seat is what gets me, like he was planning to start a collection or something. I've seen people eat burgers and bagels on the train, but a whole bird with no utensils is some primal stuff. Honestly, at 8 AM on a packed car, that takes guts, both literally and figuratively. I just hope he didn't leave the bones behind for the next poor soul to sit on.

Taking guts" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, dude, it's just a dude eating breakfast on his commute. You act like he's juggling knives while doing it, it's mildly gross at worst and I've seen way weirder on that train.
