“OK…. I’m busted. But if I’m in the door spot I do step aside and make sure everyone can get by, and if I’m blocking traffic I just move in.”
that’s fine – what drives me NUTS are the people who jockey for position to get into the car first and then STOP right when they get in the door because they want the door spot. if i want the door spot – i make sure i get on the train LAST.
babs, I used to switch from the A to the 4/5. Those people coming in from wherever the hell they live are the rudest, most disgusting lot I’ve ever dealt with. There’s always an argument and yes, always a panhandler.
Now I take the E and it’s empty when I get on…only crowds up at 34th street.
“usually I would try to get the guy go past me so I keep the door spot” As in the 2nd most annoying thing about NY according to Brooklynites (hipsters being #4):””

People with backpacks have no idea of personal space. Having been smacked many times by 50 pound backpacks that stick out 18 inches. Especially in a crowded care- why is it they can’t take the damn thing off and hold it by the straps?
the R train isnt as bad as it was when they first made the service changes. whenever i see an express train go by im like ugh i would not be able to handle being in a train like that. the only thing about the R train is that they really dont clean it anymore and it’s infested with roaches and stuff (well the old orange ones are). but i prefer the old orange ones so i will just wait and let the newer trains go by until an old orange one comes. happily the MTA is broke and wont be replacing the orange ones anytime soon. people are much cuter in the lighting on the older trains. the newer ones lighting make everyone look like cadavers. fuck that shit
Blowing the whistle on Santa & the Easter Bunny is a LOT worse than sharing info on sex!
Agreed, Arkady. I am the oldest of a large family and my mother wanted to keep it nice for them and so constantly assured me of Santa Claus things that conflicted with my growing powers of reason. When a respected non-family adult confirmed the truth, I hunted my mother down in the local supermarket and dressed her down in public for LYING TO ME!!

I can’t understand reading the same book time and time again. I’m sure it leads to Alzheimers development.
I agree. But it may also be a symptom of early onset Alzheimers. Can’t remember that they read it already?
Dona – am surprised she was young with “big hair” that’s not really “in” anymore
