Bare-feet and gross!
I just saw a girl, a teenager, walk out of the train station with bare-feet. She's not homeless. Gross!

I just saw a girl, a teenager, walk out of the train station with bare-feet. She's not homeless. Gross!
I'm on the F train heading into the city while everyone else is heading home during rush hour. I'm reading my book when a middle ages black man wearing a a dark blue jacket with the name "Yankees" scribed on the back. He enters the car between trains and announces his presence with, "Talk about me! Whoooa!" He also has his index finger in his nose. He stays on one end of the car for a minute or two and slowly walks down the train saying loudly, with, "Talk about me! Whoooa!"
I know it's Halloween and people are going to be out in costume but at this time, people are already at their parties. Again, I was on the E train typing up an email when a tall black man boarded the train between cars singing at the top of lungs about God. He was not preaching, just singing. I have an example of what he was singing and at the high volume he was singing at.
I am personally not religious and I consider myself as being tolerant of others who are religious. I know you may not believe me. I don't care. But when that black man came onto the car singing at the top of the, I became annoyed. And then on top of that, he was singing about God. I was like, "F*ckin' great!"
There's nothing worse than a person who gets on the train and starts preaching about God, repenting, the Devil, sinning, etc. And they do it loudly! For a bunch a Christians preaching about Jesus Christ, they are certainly inconsiderate and rude to others around them. They are disturbing the peace with their public vocal "sermons". Who wants to hear that crap on their way to work? Their way home, or wherever they are heading to. These preachers are obnoxious and selfish. They only want to be center of attention even though he/she knows they are being ignored. That is why they speak so loudly, or with the case of this black man, singing. It was challenging to think up what to say in my email. His voice grated on my on ears and brains. Luckily, he didn't stay very long. It was a relief when he got off at West 4th Street.
I couldn't help but stare at this guys tie when I dawned one they looked like the bottom tips of bananas; and he's carrion a bag of bananas! And he's got a yellow wristband. That last ine was less significant.
Standing and waiting for the M6 and noticed this sign informing commuters that they are eliminating this bus route due to budget cuts. Just ridiculous! We can't let the officials take this bus route away! Please call and complain!
Real stories from a real New Yorker. I’m not one of those transplants who moved to this great city, lived here for 5 years and calling themselves a New Yorker. No – I was born and raised here. I’ve been commuting on public mass transit since I was in diapers. I’m also an architect, foodie, knitter, amateur photographer, hobby writer, and the daily commuter.
I commute almost everyday on the NYC MTA buses for about 30 minutes followed by another 45 minutes on MTA subway to work and backwards on my way home. My daily commute averages about an hour and half; on a good day.
On any given commute, something is bound to happen to me on these trips.
