Spaghetti Dinner Leads To Full-Blown Brawl On NYC Subway Train

Spaghetti Fight On Subway/YouTube

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Who thought that eating spaghetti on a packed subway car could cause such problems?

Well, it did. A video posted on YouTube shows a woman riding on a crowded subway train eating spaghetti from a styrofoam container.

Warning: Video contains profanity Click Here to See Video

Now, there is a code among straphangers that eating on the train is just plain rude. But so is drinking, listening to loud music, talking loudly, etc. It is certainly annoying but a sad reality for those using mass transit in our city.

Most times the offending party will just get dirty looks. However, sometimes someone will speak up.

Like in the case of the passenger sitting across from her spaghetti-eating nemesis in the above-mentioned video.

The details of the incident are scant: There is no date, nor mention of location and subway line. All we have to go on is what is seen in the video–and let’s just say, it’s not pretty.

All hell breaks loose after a passenger is heard saying, “What kind of animals eat on the train?”

Oh boy. Watch for yourself and let us know if a situation like this has ever happened to you.

    I have never understood why they are so hungry they can not wait until they get off the train. It is always extra special when they leave the trash behind. I guess a full belly makes you rude and lazy.

      When a baboon in a jungle gets hungry , it eat.

  • Lrb

    In todays society, we are an eat on the go people. Perhaps she had no other time to eat. Perhaps she has a medical condition that requires her to eat and she had no other time to do it. I see nothing wrong with someone eating as long as they are neat about it. Spaghetti may have not been the best choice…

  • Fred

    Just a typical day on the subway.

  • JANET

    HAD IT BEEN A LITTLE WHITE GIRL EATING, SHE WOULDN’T HAVE SAID ANYTHING. SO YES, OF COURSE IT’S A COLOR THING. SHE SHOULD HAVE MINDED HER OWN BUSINESS, AS DISGUSTING AS SHE THOUGHT IT WAS.

    • Denise S.

      That’s a load of poop. The only difference is, had it been a white girl she might not have gotten hit. It’s about manners. That was the only point the lady was trying to make.

      • Lieutenant

        @Denise – How is that girl eating her food affecting that old lady, she should have minded her own damn business!!!

    • Tommy Lent

      Sorry. There was no mention AT ALL in this video about race. So basically you see things via skin color, probably play the race card whenever things don’t go your way, and basically still think only white people can be racists. Do you know what this means? No? Well it simplyl means YOU’RE a racist! Wake up!

  • Yvonne J Alvarez

    Wow NY is definitely angry!!! with all that said I know well enough cause I have never ever done it to eat on the train but to each his own right?

    • BigEZ

      Wrong yvonne – your not allowed to eat on the train.

      • Yvonne J Alvarez

        THAT IS why I have never and will never do it.

      • BigEZ

        Yvonne – I’m just saying it’s not to each his own because your not allowed to eat on the train.
        I didn’t mean you personally.

      • Yvonne J Alvarez

        thats ok BigEZ no offense taken. You are right no eating on the train please!!!

  • Denise S.

    I agree 100%. It’s disgusting…. a subway is no place to be eating and spaghetti of all things makes it a lot worse. No one wants to watch you with noodles hanging out of your mouth but how she chooses to live, where she chooses to eat …. that’s her business. The older woman could have easily walked away. She didn’t have to stare or comment about it. As for the two teens they should know better.There is no excuse for the way they treated the woman. Their actions spoke for themselves but from what I saw I’m sure they feel no shame. Thank God there were good people there to help her.

  • Big Nard

    People that ride the NYC subways are rude. The ones that eat, sleep, read in your face , listen to loud music, backpack wearing, big bag havin, three bag carryin and feeling my chubby. Did I forget something??
    The bad thing is there is never a cop in the subway.

    • hls

      blocking the door and leaning on the pole with their whole body like no one needs to hold on but them, let’s not forget those. lol

  • Sam

    I hate when people eat in inappropriate places. When I lived in NY I use to go to this laudreymat. Every week this woman would set up a buffet on one of the tables for her and her 4 kids to eat that are meant to fold clothes. I would have to ask the attendant right in front of her for paper towels and spray cleaner to clean the table so I could fold my clothes. The attendant did nothing because she was afraid. I give the woman credit for speaking up.

    • HUGO

      You should have helped yourself to the buffet and then sneezed on it. The feasts would have stopped.

  • Peter

    Good man C.J and some Ribs to!!!!

  • jme

    typical animal what do you expect

  • Mr. Armenia

    I always try to have a nice egg-fart brewing for these situations.

    • BigEZ

      Lmao @ mr armenia

  • doc

    Black and White thing.

  • s_a_b_o_q

    People who don’t mind their business end up in a box on the ocean floor….

  • Bud

    Really! Let her eat and get over it! People are so stupid. You are offended by someone eating? Grow up! Morons.

    • BigEZ

      Bud – clearly your manners differentiate from others.
      Trains are for commuting on they are not mobile restaurants!
      It’s people with your mentality that lower the standards in society!

      • Lieutenant

        And it ppl like u BIGEZ that get beat up on the train. MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!!!

    • Sam

      Bud, you are the moron. Especially if you think that this woman did nothing wrong.

  • Bridget

    It is a little piggish to be eating a full blown meal from a container on a train. There are signs all over the train stating no food or drinks that people ignore. This is why the trains are filthy. People should learn proper manners.

  • Maxx

    Feeding time at the trough for the animals – low class chombos

  • BigEZ

    It’s not good manors let’s be honest. There is a time and a place to eat spaghetti and the Subway just isn’t one of them.
    As for blood sugar!! How about carrying an apple rather than a box of spaghetti!!

    • wakeuppeople

      Yeah, always an excuse. The “it’s not my fault” denial.

  • Denise

    Eating on the train is disgusting. All the germs flying around. I can’t wait to get off to wash my hands. Who would think to eat spaghetti on a crowded train. Only cetrain kind of people eat like this.

  • aimesnyc

    Seriously, people? What is the big deal about eating on the subway? People are busy, and sometimes the subway is the only place that they get to sit for a good amount of time.

    However, listening to your music so loudly that the entire subway car can hear it is not only annoying, it’s also bad for your ears.

    • Bridget

      Listening to music and eating a meal on the train is like comparing apples and organges. There are signs all over the train “no food or drinks” people ignore. Its people with you attitude that contribute to the filth in NY. I am very busy with long commutes and I have never eating a full meal on a crowed public transporation. Disgusting.

      • Lieutenant

        @Bridget – so u never drank on the train either cuz if u did ur being a hyporcite and i know u have!!!

      • kelinsometime

        Why is it disgusting? I can never figure that one out.

    • Nicole S

      I agree.. if you are alright with all of the germs that will landing on your food, you can eat without making a mess and will take your trash with you, I do not see a problem.

    • John

      Spoken from a pig himself!!

  • NOWAY

    The fact is that the girl should not have been eating on the subway. The other woman however was very rude and should have politely asked her to stop. The mother should have stepped in and calmed things down, not riled everyone up.

    • hls

      lieutenant. we’ve all had a drink on the train and sometimes you really don’t have time to eat so you eat something like cookies or a snack and people feed their kids a bagel or some dry food all the time and hey they’re little kids. but she’s a teenager. do you see others pulling a spaghetti dinner out on the train (sorry hugo . . .LO MEIN). no, there’s a reason, it’s called having manners. now was the lady way out of line, yes but then she’s probably crazy. as the guy said just leave it alone girls, it’s not worth it. i bet that girl won’t be eating on the train again (especially after she gets out of jail and can’t get a job). another thing she didn’t consider.

  • Yvonne

    Its not a color thing its a life thing the way I see it LIVE AND LET LIVE what harm was the woman causing anyone what if she has low blood sugar and she had to eat? what if she had not eaten all day because she was so busy? yes it might be rude etc, etc, but this was totally uncalled for totally and do you know the harm that fighting after eating does not good. Oh well lets just be sure we don’t ever do that to anyone.

    • disrespectful

      eating meal type food on a subway (not a snack) is basically saying “i’ll do what i want. i don’t care that everyone else around me has to smell my food and watch me stuff my face”.

      it’s just a total lack of respect. also, it’s against the mta rules.

      glad she got called out…a lot of people are too afraid to speak up. however, the manner in which the woman called her out probably could have been handled more tactfully.

      • Neville Lee

        Sometimes it is wise to just mind your business. It’s not if she was smoking a cigarette and blowing it in the woman’s face. It was just food and it’s not harming anyone..

  • Moral Truth on Crab Legs

    At least it’s not as bad as that fat, south brooklyn trash I saw eating crab legs at 8am on a Tuesday last year. Some people are disgusting and that’s just sad for them and the rest of us for having to deal with them.

    • BigEZ

      Crab legs @ 8am lmao. That’s disgusting.

  • William Kiehn

    I hope that everyone has a nice day.

    • Everyone

      Up yours!

  • Clark Allen

    She can have her spaghetti as long as I can have my Absout vodka shots on the Bronx-bound #4 or #5.

  • Moral Truth

    People should not be eating on the subways
    These type of people do that and that’s the Moral Truth

    • NOWAY

      these “type” of people? What do you mean by that?

      • BigEZ

        He means hood rats.

      • kelinsometime

        Hungry people?

    • C.J.

      She must have had the Popeye’s fried chicken before getting on the train.
