    I am in favor of arresting the following intruders on the NYC subways:
     
    Young acrobatic performers who go from car to car, which is illegal in itself, doing dangerous stunts which could result in passenger  injuries if the train stops short.  They usually bring a huge boombox with them, blasting out so-called music.   
     
    People who go from car to car, claiming to be homeless, and giving a speech asking for food money.  There are other reasons they beg and panhandle, as well.  
     
    There should be fines for those who:
     
    Clip their fingernails.
     
    Wear heavy perfumes or colognes.
     
    Wear baggy pants that allows half their ass to be seen. 
     
    Play a boombox - but this doesn't happen very often, unless they are doing some kind of acrobatics or break dancing, for money.  
     
    Mariachi Bands and performers from South America playing folk tunes - it was OK for a while 10 or 15 years ago, but I'm sick of them.  The city licesnses a number of performers each year who are permitted to play on certain subway platforms and in stations, the rest are illegal and I don't think that any are supposed to be on the actual trains, performing music.  
     
    Comedians, mimes and clowns - haven't seen any lately, but there used to be a few.  

     
  2. I hope you're not serious garrison. But I'm afraid you're probably being truthful
     
  3. never been arrested for that, no. if i feel uncomfortable in the subway i just stand. standing is better for your blood circulation.  
     
    i'm not gonna give that manspreading motherfucker the satisfaction of touching me with his entitlement

    All the reasons I really like NYC ... except for the over use of perfumes or colognes, of course.
     
  5. They did a scientific study of the NYC subways recenlty, and found over 15,000 life forms, half of which is unknown to science.  They found the Bubonic Plague.  They found what they thought was the DNA of a Tasmanian Devil, but it wasn't - which begs the question, if it wasn't the Tasmanian Devil, then what the fuck WAS, or IS, down there with similar DNA?

    Wow, haven't heard of it until now.  Pretty amazing.

    your mom
     
  8. Everyone does that shit. Theres always someone putting their bag/other items in the seat next to them. This shouldn't even be a thing.
     
  9. After reading everything prior, that had me rolling!
     
  10. You have never ridden a subway, so how do you know how easy it is to find another seat or, when the train is extremely crowded, to get away from a creep that is doing something undesirable either on you, or near you?   Hint: Asking "politely" is usually not effective with a pervert.
     
     Your comment about not wanting to "make a law saying no hobos on the subway", in response to a derelict masturbating, is bullshit.  Nobody would say "No hobos on the subway", they want to be spared seeing them, or anybody else, jerking off. or otherwise doing something that is offensive to many, and already against the law.
     
  11. I agree with Penelope. I must be getting old
     
  12. it's Obama's fault.

    I think you misunderstood.  It was my husband - the man - that was complaining about having to use his leg muscles to keep his legs parallel.  And I laughed at him, because that is fucking ridiculous.  And really, unless your balls are the size of a grapefruit, there is no reason why anyone's legs need to take up two seats.
     
    As for the rest of your post - I'm supposed to go to china because I don't want to get sexually harassed on a public train? I've taken pubic trains all over the world, and the NYC subway is full of the biggest creeps ever.   Maybe you should actually try riding one before speaking with such authority.

    this is why i walk or take cabs..
     
    plus i hate that card system they have now.. i miss tokens :(

    De Blasio is about as liberal and left as you can get. Its under his term so he gets the credit.

     
    I miss the tokens at a Casino actually. The backround noise in a Casino is not the same now that they went to printed voucher tickets.
     
  16. Ridiculous!
    The person who actually thought up this law should be thrown in front of a train.

    Recently they found that nearly all tested Keruigs have a enormous bacteria colony from people never leaving it open to dry, many moving parts that do not get access to air.

    As a man with an average size package and after almost four decades of sitting on various objects in a large variety of situations, I can confirm it is not that difficult to sit with your legs together for a short amount of time, such as on a crowded subway.
     
    If I need to air my balls out, I do it when I don't have to rub legs with anyone else. That's just creepy.
     
    Anyone, man or woman, complaining about having to keep their legs together to either prevent inappropriate contact or save space in a crowded area hasn't had real problems in life. Get over it. It's just common courtesy. And no, you're not a porn star with special needs for your not so elephant sized junk.

    I never liked Keurigs, even way back when they first came out.  I don't think it was the bacteria, but something just didn't taste right about that coffee.  
     
    I've been using the Black and Decker "Brew N Go" for years, it's about $15.00, lasts for at least 5 years, and you can use any type of coffee in it.  I'm on my 2nd machine, the first one still works but it was used 8 - 10 times a day and got a little funky.  The B&D Brew N Go only makes one cup at a time, but very fast and very good tasting.   It comes with a permanent filter, but I use disposable #2 Cone Filters for convenience so that I don't have to clean the coffee grounds.  It can be cleaned, fairly easily, so I don't think that bacteria would be a problem.

    Really? I could never sit with my legs together for any length of time without it getting really uncomfortable. Especially wearing pants. Might be able to get away with it if I was wearing loose underwear and baggy shorts, but still.
