I know I’m 2 days late on this, but as a subway nerd I have to say that this fan plant is not abandoned! It merely has some beat up lettering on it. It’s there to suck smoke out of (or maybe blow fresh air into? the under-river tunnel if there’s a fire or something.
Agree about the pole wrappers and the wide legged men. The leg crossers are uncool too, but less common. Re: the ‘fat people’ – I’ll leave that one alone. I have a friend who is fat and it is such a source of misery for her. Unfortunately the unhealthy habits started when she was young and she just cannot to shake them. She does try -gym 6 days a week, but it is so hard for her. Not being PC -but we should all be careful how we judge.
i am not sure, somebody told me that obesity is a sign of poverty in this country, but i think is more like lack of respect for your body.(witch is stupid thing to do)
Who said anything about fat people being so because they are poor? You seem to be the only one who has made that connection. What’s that about?
Anon 12:18, you are so right about the pole wrappers. 🙂
Sometimes it makes me sick how politically correct people in NYC are.
Fats are fat because they are neglecting themselves and eat crap.
It is mostly they fault and I am not feeling very sorry for them.
You can say they are fat because they are poor, but I am not sure. There are a lot of poor people around the world that are not obese.
Americans, even poor have all the advantages of living in US and they should be able to take care of themselves.
If not it means they are just stupid.
What about people who feel entitled to wrap themselves around the poles on a crowded train totally ignoring you while you’re trying to find a “polite” place to grasp the pole??? As for obese people who take up more than one seat, I feel sorry for them. It’s a terrible, unhealthy burden. They do need help.
malymis,
i’m sure your offensive fat person is more than aware of the space they take up, and don’t need you to be a mean spirited jerk to remind them. your comment is not ironic or in the least bit funny. making fun of fat people is the last ligitimate prejudice. how far we’ve fallen.
What you may call a sense of humor could also be called sadistic.
Anonymous what happened to your sense of humor?
My comment was ironic but also there is something unfair when someone super fat is taking two seats in crowded train
Sorry to offend you, do you have weight problem yourself?
