So, I had an interesting evening commute home. I was heading to the 7 train to go home and when I got on the platform I saw a guy on the tracks.

He had jumped down to get something someone had dropped. But he was unable to get back up. He was not a tall guy and on the stocky side. He tried to push himself up but it wasn't happening. I grabbed one arm and another guy grabbed the other and we pulled him up and out of the tracks.
I walk away to get to where I want to be on the platform and I see the lights of the train in the tunnel. He had maybe 30 seconds before the train would be in the station.
Fucking idiot. Nothing is worth jumping down onto the tracks for.

Good job helping him! I can't believe people actually jump on the tracks to retrieve things. Bonkers. -- nm - ty97 Sep 13, 17:18

There are terrible billboards about doing that at all the train stations here. -- nm - mafic Sep 13, 16:52
And the dude is in a coma and you told his family that you're engaged to him? -- nm - Dano Sep 13, 16:13 1
