The next time someone from your hometown compliments you for toughing out X amount of years in New York City, show them this video of a train full of adults squealing and laughing in ebullient terror on their way to work. Far better than blankly staring at an ad for a degree in criminal justice and muttering expletives after someone's shoe gently grazes your heel.

The YouTube user who posted the video, Jinais Ponnampadikkal Kader, writes:

A usually boring Monday morning commute to work at Brooklyn was stirred up by this little guy.He joined us at the Fulton street station on the A train going downtown. Someone getting off the train was screaming "RAT on the train!". But by the time everyone realized what was happening, the doors closed and the train entered the tunnel. We were stuck with him till the other end.

Yes, life is a rat-filled roller coaster in New York City. Won't you join us?
