Platform Jumping - For Once, I Agree 100% With MTA [Platform Jumping]

July 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

There is a new game in town, and I’m going to predict this now: someone is definitely going to get killed doing this. Kids are jumping from one train platform to the other at single-track stations. Its insane.
Obviously one could easily break a leg, get electrocuted, killed by a passing train - or all three [...]

Above The Law - Ex-Cop, LIRR Harasser Gets Off Again

April 14th, 2008 · No Comments

60-year-old ex-cop John Clifford has been arrested EIGHT times on the Long Island Railroad for harassing other passengers. Just recently, he was let off again, acting as his own lawyer in successfully being cleared of two misdemeanor offenses.
Whats more, in 1994 he was arrested for (admittedly) striking a fellow female passenger in the head - [...]

Woman Changes Clothes On Subway (video)

April 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment

A woman changes her clothes on an Asian subway (and shaves her legs).
We could all learn some lessons in multitasking from this power commuter.
Not really all that sfw, much like the pole dancing video I shamelessly posted last month.

March 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments

Now, I don’t admit to knowing much about drug enforcement, but today Greenwich Time posted a story today titled ‘Cops make marijuana bust’, reporting that 3 town men were arrested by Greenwich narcotics officers following a Tuesday night stakeout.

Whats funny is that when I read the details of the story:

The ‘three town men’ were teenagers [...]

Man Screaming “I’m Dying!” At Grand Central Terminal

March 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Today as we were departing our train on track 20 at Grand Central, along with another train on the next track, a short, stocky young man dressed for work, with a briefcase and wearing a yarmulke was walking *towards* us from the main concourse.
We were all a little puzzled about why someone would voluntarily walk [...]

The Crying Train

March 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have this friend from Boston who stays at our house when she has a business trip to NYC.
Usually we will have a big party and stay out late, and when she has to get on her train for work on Monday, she habitually cries during the hungover commute. Its just her thing. Then she’s [...]
