The seat cushions on the BART. A couple of days ago, somebody who had clearly pooed his pants sat on the seat behind me. The smell was so bad that I was getting sick.
Subway systems that I've seen in most other cities use some kind of seat covering, like plastic, or hard plastic seats that can be hosed down and sanitized at the end of the say. But for whatever reason, all of the BART trains I've been on, and I ride it as little as possible, use upholstered cushions. These are soft, but they cannot be properly cleaned. So, whoever sits on that seat after the homeless person who pooed his pants is also going to have a bad experience. And all of the bart trains stink.
And the bart floors are carpeted. Again, they can't be cleaned. Because of this, BART is the stinkiest train I've been on.
Last summer, I went mountain climbing with a vegan friend - he is in top physical shape, is a skilled mountain climber, and has more energy and endurance than most people i've climbed with. The whole week we were out, he ate less than me, had the same or less food prep time - ate things like bean spouts, humus, pita bread, no milk (I get sick whenever i drink milk) or eggs - many of the same things I was eating, except I had a packet of tuna every day and I usually have powdered soy milk when I go backpacking., Anyway, he dispelled my stereotype that vegans don't eat enough protein and therefore aren't in shape.

I worked at bar/restaraunt the summer I moved out of my parents house for about four months (until I got a good job 
) and had a boss like that. The menu at the restaurant was literally like, potato skins, chili, buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, and a bunch of other very non-vegan appetizers and deserts... when I got the job he told me that the best thing about working there was "the free food." I couldn't eat any of the food, obviously, besides being vegetarian I'm lactose intolerant, and told him this….
