Life Lessons in New York City

Aug 23, 2005 13:48

If there's one thing I've learned since moving to New York City, it's that the only thing scarier than a guy talking to himself, is a guy yelling to himself.

There used to be this guy with tourettes syndrome on a bus route I regularly took that would sit all quiet and then burst out cussing like crazy and smack his head uncontrollably with the palm of his hand. People would get super freaked out about it, but I kinda recognized his disease and the troubled look in his eye. Never bothered me, and hell, I sorta found it funny (in a sick way =P) but was glad that he shocked people.

Anyways, you get those talker/yeller guys all over. He probably knows more about the alien invasion than anyone else!

That's awesome, last week my girlfriend and I saw this dude muttering to himself on a crowded subway about everything from terrorist and racial profiling, to buying drugs on Marcy Ave. It was a bit odd to say the least...and he was putting on white, flaky deodorant right there in the middle of the crowded subway, I think he even dropped some of a girl!

When I went to Chicago, there was this one guy just walking around in a cirlce yelling,

"FUCKIN' FUCK FUCKIN' BITCH!!!"

over and over. I tried my best to not laugh, but it was too much. He didn't seem to notice me in hysterics.

Yeah, I saw I guy cussing and yelling about the subway or something as he was walking up the stairs. It sounded like the police or MTA workers had just kicked him off the subway for panhandling and they always kick him off at the same stop...couldn't really tell though, haha.
