Here is a survival tip if you ever come to New York City....
Yesterday morning, I was waiting for the A train to come to take me to work. Of course during peak commuting times the subway cars are usually full. I saw the train approaching and noticed that there was one that was pretty empty. I ran to get into that car, and it took me only 1 second to realize why there was no one on the train. There was a homeless guy with all of his stuff, and he stunk soooo bad! I ran out of the car along with probably 30 other people to get into another subway car. Thankfully I made it and enjoyed my commute with minimal bad smells. I was thinking about it and I felt bad for that guy and the reaction I'm sure he gets all day, but I just couldn't imagine sitting for 20 minutes with that strong odor. I just about gagged being in there for 2 seconds. This has happened a few times, and I always think, maybe it's just an empty car....but lesson learned, it never is.
haha that's horrible!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Chelsea's blog. We just moved to Brooklyn from Utah and I'm trying to learn how to navigate the subway system. I always get excited when I see an empty subway car because I hate when it's crowded, especially when traveling with a baby. But now I know not to chase those empty cars down. Thanks for saving me the trouble!
