The New York City subway can get wild at times. Like, beyond wild on occasion. Of all the atrocities you're bound to witness, a man not taking up space on a non-crowded 1 train is far from one of them. Yesterday, a Redditor shared this image with the accompanying criticism: "Being a workaholic is no excuse for being an asshole. Spotted on the crowded 1 train this morning."

The beauty of the Internet is that it helps word travel. Quickly. The aforementioned "asshole" responded to the original post, sonning his critic with the most humbling medicine known to man—honesty:

"Hey, that's me!! Didn't notice you're snapping this, I would have waved in order to get a more flattering photo. My front looks less bald than my top, honest!

This is preciseley why you don't shame people over the Internet without the full story.
