Looks good to me.

We've all had days like this.

I mean, I can't say with 100 percent certainty that this hasn't happened to me.

The tweet is from BBC reporter James Longman, who witnessed this tragic tableau on the train at 8 a.m. As some people noted, this would look absolutely beautiful hanging in a museum somewhere.

Aesthetic value aside, the picture also presents mankind with a dilemma: Would you eat the pizza?

ZOOM AND ENHANCE.

The sad, hungry people of the internet reached a pretty clear consensus.

Studies vary as to whether the five-second rule is really a thing. Also, the floor of the Tube probably isn't the cleanest surface in the world. But there's nothing like a thin, greasy piece of paper to make us feel better about eating pizza off the ground.

May your legend live on forever, pizza lady.
