A video featuring a woman scrubbing her feet on a New York City subway train has gone viral and sparked public outrage. Captured by a fellow passenger, the footage shows the woman scrubbing her feet, causing flakes of dead skin to scatter across the floor. Despite being aware that she was being filmed, she continued the act. The video was shared on Instagram by the account @1776qqqqq, which included a humorous caption referencing an “underground Italian restaurant.”

This incident adds to a growing discourse about public decency and behavior in urban transit environments. Reactions to the video have ranged from criticisms of the woman’s actions to broader concerns regarding societal norms and public etiquette. One Twitter user noted the implications of hygiene practices in public places, while another expressed concerns about the need for improved mental health resources.
