Well, vomiting is just one of those you things you absolutely can not control. So, if it's on the train platform, then so be it. At least it's better than on your fellow passengers on the train! |

I saw a guy barfing into a garbage can on the train platform one night. My first thought was "Ewwww". My second thought was "I hope that's never me one day"
It wasn't terribly late, maybe 7 or 8ish. The guy was either drunk or had some sort of stomach bug |

I suppose a bulimic could barf at will on a train platform... |

I've barfed in many horrible places, but in this instance, no, it was a friend of mine (and I was with her), all over the seat and floor. Many moons ago, when the seats were wicker and McAnn's on 33rd St. near the Garden served anyone who asked for a drink, even if you were 13. No fake id necessary.

In first grade, I barfed all over the frizzy, red-headed girl sitting in front of me. It was a gooey mess.
The last thing I remember is walking to the nurse's office and passing the custodian carrying his mop and bucket in the hallway. |

How did the girl get cleaned up? When I was in fourth grade, Lisa Rosen slathered perfume all over my neck and Alex Brofsky's neck. It was a mean gesture, for sure. Mrs. Dexter summarily washed our necks for us in the sink in the back of the classroom.

I puked in Macy's shoe dept. in the garbage can behind the counter. The girl who was working there ran in the back and never came back out. |

Spitting, urinating, copulating and pooping carry fines, but vomiting is free! |

Tom...they prefer not to be called bulimic. Having dated one (yup she would throw up in the bathroom and I would guzzle booze in the living room...we were a match made in heaven, no?)
She preferred to think of it as "PC squared"

Did she have bad teeth? (All that stomach acid - yech)
I have barfed in the huge planter in front of the Wrigley building (at least I convinced the bus driver to let me off). And I have barfed in many trash recepticles in subway stations.
The first scenario was from a hangover, the second was pregnancy related. |

Pippi, you (almost) get over it. I had hyperemesis in each pregnancy and puked in every imaginable public place, including Maplewood train station. People will ask if you are OK - you say "pregnant" and they will leave you alone. The fear of impending vomit is worse than actually puking. Just carry bags with you for those times where there is no receptable. |

Pippi, remember when you puked in the garbage can outside that pastry place in Little Italy? We went there after Patsy's with the JCC camp (OK, WE WERE ONLY 17).
I only had mild nausea with kid number one and never puked anywhere. Chances of puking from alcohol consumption or a stomach bug are probably higher than morning sickness, in the grand scheme of things. |

That, VIG, is one of several public alcohol-related puking incidents. Thankfully, I outgrew that!
akb - I figured I'd have to carry bags with me.

Pippi, congrads to you and Notes. This is the first I have heard. 
In the old days you could vomit on the tracks. The toilets on the old MU cars opened directly onto the tracks. One night a seat mate had to use the loo for something other than number one or number two and came back in amazement of that little fact. |

I never carried bags around with me - probably should have. Usually I could sort of hyperventilate and put off the puking feeling until a trash can was in sight, and then let er rip. Gross! |

When we were kids, one of my brothers barfed as he was going through the Officer's Club buffet line, right onto the food. The barf was purple.
Another brother barfed at a restaurant, and a little girl in a party dressed slipped and fell in it. It was just a regular barf color.
In high school, a friend of my oldest brother barfed in the old car my brother drove. The car got handed down to all the rest of us in turn. I never saw that barf, but we all had to smell it forever. We could never get rid of that smell.
A third brother barfed all night after eating my Thanksgiving turkey. We were all grown up, and I had no excuse for not cooking that turkey long enough. It was weird, though, because none of the other guests barfed.
Those are my main Hallmark memories of barf. |

I saw a woman pull up her dress,
squat into the gutter and relieve herself
at 59th & Madison Avenue a few years ago. |

Maplewoody!
I saw a woman do the same thing, at 57th and 6th of all places, except she peed into a paper coffee cup. She then threw the cup into the gutter. I was like, what's the point of the cup then? |

I'm not a barfer, but last year I was on the train coming back from a holiday party and the next thing I know, there was vomit on the floor between my shoes. It really stunk and most people quickly moved to a different car.
Four days later, I witnessed a woman on the train who was going through the heaving motions, putting her head against the seat in front of her but not quite there yet. Ten minutes later, she quickly grabbed and barfed in her purse....
About 3 years ago, during morning rush hour on the uptown E train platform, I saw a woman squatting down doing a number 2 (that's pinching a loaf, dropping a biscuit) right into one of the drains along the wall....couldn't believe what I was seeing. Just FYI, she didn't look like a commuter.

When you gotta go you gotta go. My sister peed on the Champs-Elysees during New Years a couple of years ago. She is of the feeling men have it easy so why shouldn't she pee when she has to. I had no comeback. Frankly, I was rather proud. |

I vomitted while newly pregnant on the #7 train platform in Grand Central in late morning. Didn't get it on anyone. Akbb is right, just say pregnant and people stop looking at you like you're a junkie.
On that particular day I mumbled an "Estoy embarazada" despite my rusty Spanish. The nice ladies on the way to Queens smiled sympathetically and tossed a "pobrecita" my way as they got the hell away from me. |

My friend and I got smashed on a bottle of vodka in South Orange Park when we were 16. This yucky guy was hanging all over me, and when he tried to kiss me I puked in his mouth. He was very upset.
I hope no one is eating lunch at their computer right now.
