What happened to all that rain and damaging wind we were supposed to get? lol Not a drop! Wacky weather but at least its supposed to be much cooler and lower humidity today. I'll take that for sure!
Annoying because I had an event canceled because of the "rain".
You ask for the rain and the rain shall deliver!
When two people stand and block the door, oblivious, it's one of the most enraging things. But it's also run to just run into them. I also enjoy running into people who are trying to get on the train but won't let the exiting people leave first.

Its just a little drizzle tho
I do the same. In fact, I take my sweet time getting off if I see assholes have made a way for people to get off.

You sound like a really fun guy to be around

Really?
Weve all been frustrated on the MTA, but to go out your way to physically piss people off for not having the right subway etiquette at that moment, and get enjoyment out of it, youre just an asshole.
Yes, of course. Every day.
Physically piss people off? What do you think I'm doing, running full speed into people and knocking them down...? If someone isn't letting you on or out of the subway car, you have to force your way on or out. Or do you just stand there?
Do you not ride the subway in the morning or something?

These are your own words, only an asshole would have this mentality to ”teach a lesson" to the subway etiquette law breakers
I ride the subway many times a day, everyday, thank god the vast majority of people don't have your mindset
Yes, because, you know, I meant, literally, running into them. Literally.

Nice spin
The one nice thing about the NY subway system being old and creaky is it doesn't have escalators. Dealing with tourists blocking escalators in the DC Metro is one of the commuters' pet rage-inducing moments, right next to "okay we're off the escalator but we'll immediately stop and look around blocking people from getting around us."
Okay. You'll note that everyone agrees with me... but fine, we are all the assholes here.
Yeah, I spent a lot of time in DC, and I hear you on the escalator thing. I honestly think it's sometimes a safety issue as well. It's not a place to congregate and figure out your next steps!!

Now you're lumping everyone with you, the spin and misdirection won't stop hahaha
You're okay with someone purposefully pushing and shoving you, but you're not okay with someone running into you? I'm almost certain an actual shove would start a fight about 2,000 times faster rather than someone running into someone.
Or maybe I'm not understanding what you consider "running into someone" means.
I don't "enjoy" it but ngl, I've more purposefully bumped into people on my way out when they're trying to get on the subway when it's obvious people are still getting off.
I also do it sometimes moving past someone if they get on, there's a whole crowd behind them, and then they stop at the first pole and plug people from filling up the empty middle of the car.
It's not a push or a shove or really anything with momentum, it's literally a bump that I don't try extremely hard to avoid because they're already in the space.

So the MTA, am I right?
I meant getting roughed around by accident on a crowded train, or someone trying to get out of a train, which happens. Why are you instigating? Are you enjoying this too?
on the train home some dude was watching that fresh prince episode on his phone where carlton falls in love on his phone
ofc without headphones and the volume on full
i was so upset i forcibly pushed my way off the train at the next stop even though it wasn't my stop and it was raining
i think i might've actually hurt the old gypsy woman with the crystal ball blocking the doors offering fortune readings
gaf, do you think she'll curse me

You try to get on while people are getting off? I go through you. I dont go out of my way to make contact and Im almost always at the doors as they open to my stops, but if youre in my way youre slowing everything down, and Id rather physically make a path through a jerk than hold up many more people behind me.
Just do the right thing, yall.

I'd be lying if I said I've never pushed my way out before, but I rather not miss my stop.

Right, no one is debating that people shouldn't get off first and they should be given the room to do so, but to purposely start running into people, and enjoying doing so, is just laughable and sad

Dear NY-GAF I'm going to your wonderous city tomorrow for a couple of weeks, and I have a few questions;
I was wondering if anybody had some cool ideas of things to see in Brooklyn and Manhatten that tourists don't notice usually.
My intiniary is the usual big sights and museums, so it would be interesting to hear if you have any off-the-beaten suggestions to things of interest.
Particularly, I'm looking for nice restaurants/street food on the cheaper side as well as quirky things to see; Could be anything- from stores, parks, malls, exhibitions, art, anything really
It could also be concerts, events, parades and stuff like that, that takes place!

Conductor: Are we on the wrong line?

Yea I don't understand the enjoying part.
Trains are absolutely crazy lately. Today was 45 minutes late for dinner with gf's parents because we were stopping for ten minutes at each stop. So annoying.
I had to run some errands today and it was a mess getting around.

Bless you MTA. I really wanted to be an hour late to work. I guess small miracle I got a seat before we stopped moving.
Looking at the pics of 168th, it looks crazy. People said that they shut down the elevator because too many people.

Went to see the Hansel and Gretel exhibit over the weekend:
http://www.armoryonpark.org/programs_events/detail/hansel_gretel
First room was fun and interesting, if short.
Second room was... uh... less interesting, especially after the first.
Worth seeing for $15, but then again, I like unique experiences like this.
Just saw pictures. Looks terrible. Not sure what happened there.

Track fire at 145th. No c trains and delays with a trains. So everyone literally went to the 1 trains.

On weekends MTA is a complete crapshoot, now it's everyday
LMAO! That sounds like pure torture for the 30 seconds that you're in that elevator. I loathe taking the elevators in the 181st and 168th stations. If stairs were an option like in the 181st A train station, I would take them any day (there are escalators but unless I can go down and up them without hitch, I'd avoid it).
