  1. I once had a female cab driver in Greece who picked me up at the Athens airport and told me to sit in the front. She put her hand on my leg and asked me if I wanted company in my hotel and I was like ewwwww you have a moustache.

  2. The MTA could make extra money by selling “Slap Tickets.” Pay for a Slap Ticket that entitles you to smack the ever lovin’ shit outta someone on the train/bus that is doing something rude. I bet we’d be out the red super quick.

  3. haaaa – that cab thread might get interesting. I posted a silly statement about being hot and not being refused a cab ride ever after a bunch of people stated they had been refused a ride to BK with their kid in tow….

  4. “but I find many of them to be so engrossed in their gadgets and FB and who’s having sex to even care about what their future will be.”

    they’re teenagers, fer chrissakes! That’s what teens do. The kids I grew up with were total flakes, and now they’re CEO’s, teachers, lawyers, authors, etc. One guy I thought would never amount to anything became a rocket scientist (literally).

  5. We had more street gangs and “turf” battles in NYC the 1960 and 1970s, but far fewer guns. As a young guy about town, you were far less likely to get shot and far more likely to get “jumped” or have to deal with a fistfight. I guess that’s better than being shot.

  6. “I find many of them to be so engrossed in their gadgets and FB and who’s having sex to even care about what their future will be……..”

    Their being engrossed in online social networking is exactly what’s changing the world right now.
