get out the way bitch

i live in new york. i don't have to worry so much about drivers as i do other commuters. so i'll list here the shit i have to put up w/ in terms of foot & subway traffic:

* tourists who walk 3-4-5 abreast on the sidewalk and walk slowly to peer into store windows, check out merch tables or stare upwards at pigeons/buidings/what have you. i bump into them on purpose. anyone blocking obvious paths of foot traffic - doorways, escalators, etc.

* the trains at rush hour. why's it so hard to understand - let ppl off first, then move INTO the train and don't block the door. i elbow those ppl on purpose.

* ppl who get on the train and do the 'mad dash for the one empty seat' dance. it's pretty funny, especially when there are two or more ppl going after the same seat. then whoever doesn't get it goes 'ugh!' and shrugs and smiles and acts like they don't care but you know inside they are dying.

* beggars/homeless ppl on the train. when i can hear "EXCUSE ME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN..." over my headphones i want to stab my eyes out. do not make eye contact!

* going down the stairs to the train platform behind a) an old person b) ppl carrying a stroller c) a stupid bitch in high heels when your train is in the station w/ open doors - most likely you'll miss it.

* loud ppl on the train very early in the morning. i always catch the same lady. always with a cup of coffee, always bitching about something.

* cheesedicks who bring their bike onto the train during rush hour. YOU'RE BLOCKING EVERYONE STUPID.
