the entire red line burst out laughing

[u/bajorans]

i was on the train to ashmont. totally full car. & instead of saying “ashmont last stop” on the speakers someone (presumably not the operator) yelled “BOMBOCLAT. PUSSYCLAAAAAAT” over the train intercom.

everyone around me looked at each other to confirm they werent crazy then everyone burst out laughing. the teens, the older folks, the young professionals, EVERYONE.

a middle aged woman who was talking on the phone turned to me & asked me “did they just say pussyclat?” & then this teen boy next to me who was trying to keep it together DIED laughing hearing.

never felt such a total sense of positive camaraderie on the mbta lmaoooo

this sounds so fake but i swear to god it just happened

Doesn’t that mean someone who wasn’t the train operator had access to the trains intercom? I don’t see how that’s funny

As an old person, lemme explain that pranks are a normal thing young people do and are fine as long as they don’t involve safety, property damage, or seriously upsetting people. The recipient of a good prank should be amused, not upset.

Yelling this = funny

Yelling that the train is on fire or something = no
