Good tip. Here's another piece of wisdom I picked up in the back woods of WI. No matter how demanding he is, if a man asks you to smell his beard, never smell his beard.

NEVER not EVER dare to board the empty subway car

it is empty for a reason and you do not want to know what that reason is....it isn't good

When I was in grad school in NYC, I spent a summer working at the State Department's "Foreign Press Center" in Midtown. We'd keep copies of major national newspapers, had an Associated Press teletype machine churning away (yes, I'm that old) and would arrange trips around New York for correspondents. One tour I helped arrange was to a Brooklyn revitalization project, and journalists were responsible for getting there on the subway.

One very nice Japanese reporter told us when he arrived that a very large man on the train car he was riding had unsheathed a very large knife and announced "I'm Rambo."  Apparently no one said anything or made eye contact, but the train emptied at the next stop. Except for our Japanese reporter, who told us he didn't want to seem rude.

Somehow...I set up an 'account password' with them when they were my cellular carrier.  They're not anymore (THANK GODDESS!) and I have verification from one of their employees that all I owed for my account was my last months bill.  Ok, cool...I paid it.

Now I get a letter that states I owe $80-ish bucks for an early termination fee.  Well, I had been with them for 10+ years so they can F me for the termination fee, I'm not paying it.  I've got proof that all I owed was the last months bill.

Call to talk with them about it and because I don't have the account password (15 minutes into the call, and after verifying EVERYTHING else I could remember about the last 10 years of my life...), they want me to take my time to go to one of their authorized stores to retrieve the password (w/photo ID) so I can have the privilege of calling them back to further dispute the charge they allege that I owe.

Um...no.  I've got better things to do with my time.  Like anything else actually.

F' em.  I ain't payin.

Sprint pulled similar shit on me, Stu. They had no evidence (that they would show me) that I had extended my contract with them, but insisted that I had. That went on my credit report as an unpaid debt and was a PITA to deal with.

I don't have a cell phone 


Also-is it only Tuesday? wtf?

[KnightofNi]

Am I the only one that gets that?

well i don't really get it.

but, you are truly a new yorker when you stay in that car because you have a seat or because the A/C is working.


i used to take the n into manhattan from brooklyn to see my g/f pretty much every day. in the middle of summer i would have fought you to keep my seat in a car with working A/C. the guy that smelled like death soaked in urine and vomit was a small price to pay. and at least at that point i didn't have to sit next to the guy who was sweating profusely and didnt' believe in deodorant or soap.

i was a stinky bike messenger and that offended my senses.

Somebody leave a load in the car?  I was under the impression that activity was reduced?

No there has been a resurgence in the post-Guiliani years....the De-institutionalized Forensically Insane (often incorrectly referred to as the "Homeless") are still around...and they are not homeless, the world is their toilet and every dumpster is their restaurant.

And yes when they unload (at indiscriminate whim) a digested meal that they fought over with rats and pigeons (winged rats) to eat...well words like savory bouquet and piquancy do not spring to mind when attempting to describe the olfactory horror

While Ni contends that the value of AC in a subway car exceeds most penalties, I would like to believe even he would need to draw the line somewhere even as a BO emanating bike messenger

Remember all smells are particulate in composition...there are some molecules you just don't want nesting in your sinus cavity

[KnightofNi]

don't get me wrong. i have left the subway cars and avoided the steps out of certain stations.


that reminds me of the time in times square when i was showing my family around the sity.
we started up a staircase and there was a dude with his pants down dropping a deuce on the steps.
i turned them right around and we went out the other side.

and i'm lucky that my allergies are activated by a lot of things so i can't smell them. when they are in full inflammation i could only smell the most rancid of people while locked on a train with them. 

and after all the shit i breathed in being on the streets and playing in traffic the molecules of BO and poo are the least of my worries. I have inhaled more harmful substances on purpose.

this is actually making me miss NYC too.
wtf is wrong with me? 

[SacDuc]

I'm getting the feeling that Knight IS the guy that poops on the train just to have the car to himself.
