my next problem with the MTA... when you make the change the M train (which now heads into midtown just in time for me to start my new job in the empire state building... which of course i think is great) to the orange line, when it's in brooklyn, on the J line, it looks absolutely terrible next to the brown. really, really bad. ugh... you were THIS close to having it right, MTA.
also, you neglected to answer a lot of other questions i had about the subway system. but i'll be patient.
Now on to the pedestrians of NYC. i can't even begin to tell you how much i hate you. but let me just offer at least this much advice. if you are a slow walker, that's fine. i understand. i'm from the midwest too, and at one point was a tourist. However. Don't walk in big groups that take up the entire sidewalk, your huge suitcase should stay directly behind you instead of taking up the entire sidewalk, and you should try to walk in a straight line instead of weaving back and forth taking up the entire sidewalk. I don't know if you realize this, but these cardinal sins of side-walking make it so i can NEVER get around you. its rude. I know you think New Yorkers are rude for sometimes being vocal about your interference, but we have jobs to go to. I mean.. i'm still too much of a polite young lady from the midwest to be vocal about this-- but just know, i am hating you in my brain.
'lady.' GOD i'm funny.
OH i almost forgot. best part of the new subway changes is at 14th and 6th....

at least its memory will be preserved here. in my blog. forever.
ugh. tourists make me want to scream.
ReplyDeletei hate the expression "fml" but in this case it's hilarious. and also...DIE YOU SLOW WALKING 5 wide TOURISTS! i will push you out of the way with my long pointy stroller and snub you when you remark at how interesting it is that there are not ONE but TWO chillins inside!
ReplyDeleteRemember when I came to see you in NY and I was a tourist and not only did you not let me walk slow but you were also embarrassed of my hideous camera pack. You better not have hated ME with your brain. Or next time I'll bring a fanny pack too.
