Overheard in New York

How many of you have checked out this site? It's been a while for me and I saw a link to it in another msg board. This time I remembered to actually bookmark it.

Oh my god, another bad Mexican look. What the **** is happening? Oh my god, a cat...Shut up, oh my god, the world is conspiring against me. As soon as I said "cat" a kid came around the corner. What's next, a demon? Cats, kids, demons.

It's a wonder more people don't get sucker-punched in the face on a regular basis in the city.

/shrug Yep, that is humanity. I was expecting more, perhaps, since I've never been to New York, but most say silly things once in a while, some say clever things once in a while, many are ignorant, many are cynical.

I like that site. Got it bookmarked and I read it when ever I remember. Which isn't too often these days.

The key here is that with so many millions in one place the mass of humanity is easily ignored. Unless I am in front of my office or home, I can pretty confidently assume that all the people around me on the street are people I will never run into again. So I can talk to the person next to me with the same care as if we were alone. With almost everyone who has been here a while doing the same, you can overhear some interesting stuff you would not get to overhear elsewhere.

I laughed at that hard enough that I almost peed. I feel like an excitable terrier now. Thanks so much for that.

Confirmed: Biological Terrorism Hits New York

My guy friend and I stopped on the sidewalk to finish up a conversation and say goodbye. A man walks by and gave a hard shoulder nudge to my friend and kept walking.

Guy friend: Yeah, excuse me!
Man: You stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. You can't stop in the middle of the sidewalk; people need to get by.

An argument ensues, then the man walks away. He changes his mind, walks back and gets within inches of my friend's face.

Man: I have a cold and I'm going to talk right in your face!

I guess you have to be careful who you say that to.
