I was lucky enough to catch the bus home from Adams Morgan one night without having to wait at all. Then I was unlucky enough to see a man pee on himself while sitting in one of the front seats.
I lived in NY for two years and saw more on the subway there than I have in my four years riding public transportation in DC. I witness toenail clipping, nose picking, ass scratching and various other gross behaviors. But NOTHING beats the masturbator in the cut-off jean shorts on the downtown 1/9 train in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. The dude sat there, um, hanging out of the leg opening of his shorts, sitting directly next to this big burly dude whose view was blocked only by a strategically placed backpack. I still can't get rid of the visual. Traumatic.
this guy was so drunk on the tube in london that he threw up on himself, I remember hearing two girls say: "that guy looks rough like he may throw up". Cue vomit all down his sweater which was a shame because the sweater was brand new. he also was so drunk he ended up at Heathrow airport which was an hour from his destination. How do i know this....the drunk guy was me.
I don't know that I would call it the grossest, but it's all I can come up with at this point. There was a guy on the Metro one night who was wearing shorts, and he had some extraordinary condition that I've not seen before or since. His legs were swollen to the point where it looked like they would burst...seriously, his feet looked like loaves of bread. He wasn't a huge guy, just had this really unfortunate condition. I felt really bad for the guy...looked like only his legs were in a fat suit. Was kinda sad.
A few weeks ago, while riding the S2/S4 down 16th Street, a scruffy looking guy - probably homeless got on the bus. He had deficated in his pants. It was the foulest smell I have ever had the pleasure of sensing. The bus driver immediately kicked him off, and had to open the doors and all of the windows, and sit idling for 5 minutes to freshen things up.
This wasn't gross but one time a blind man fell asleep on me. He was sitting next to me and literally passed out--snoring and everything. He kept waking up and falling back asleep. Everyone was laughing and I was trying to sit still. He managed to wake up at his stop and got off. Just weird all around.

clipping finger nails. listen-this is a thing to do in private, in the bathroom, etc. NOT on the train. BARF.

I've been fairly fortunate; I think seeing a little kid lick a pole on the metro is the grossest act I've actually witnessed.
