On Sunday, I went to the park for the first time and walked all around, listening to my ipod. I make my way through the park... lots of people, dogs, more people, condoms, more people.
I get to Columbus Circle and decided to take the A or C train back home. I make my way to the middle of the platform and start playing a game on my phone. I still had my ipod on but the volume was low enough to hear a bunch of touristy girls near me screaming bloody murder. Now... I'm playing my game on my phone so I'm standing up straight and staring straight down at my phone. As I move my phone away and just begin to look up to see what the girls are screaming about, I see a LARGE RAT run straight through my legs. It runs off to the right on over the foot of the man standing next to me.
I turn back to the girls and they're staring at me, clearly having just seen this rat (which was approx the size of my foot -- the body, not including the tail) just run through my legs and over the man next to me. They start looking past the man next to me, so I turn back around and everyone around me begins watching the wave of reaction follow the rat making its way down the entire platform.
The rest of the way home all I could think about was how glad I was that I decided not to wear flip flops that day.
