Only in New York
Ive seen a lot of strange things, and some absolutely fascinating ones, but New York really takes the cake as far as over the top experiences.
New York offers quite a bit of characters, from the naked cowboy in times square, to the crazy midget that yells at you about not giving him any money in central park. and even though you will come across a celebrity or two on your way home from school, it can never out weigh the amount of crazies you have to forge through to simply get on the subway.
Just on my way home I saw a pregnant women with a broken leg hobbling into the subway car on crutches, the train was pretty full but there was still a seat open for her, so she struggled on her way over but made it to the seat, she managed to turn and balance on one foot even after the train began to move, and just as she was about to sit down, a young man who seemed to be of perfect health literally swiped the seat out from under this poor crippled person. He looked at her, smiled, and turned back to his New York Post(which in itself shows the intelligence level of said person)
Drivers are bad everywhere, but i’m not sure i have seen any that compare to New York drivers, I mean, where else do you get a couple of people that think they can make it through the same toll booth. I don’t know, maybe he didn’t have the money and thought he could sneak through on someone else’s dime.
You can also expect to see the man passed out on the subway stairs during everyone of your commutes.
Oh I love this city. Because this is only the tip of the iceberg.
