quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a rolling new york times thread

and it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a HARD
HARD RAINS A GONNA FALL

in 2000 on the walk home from work, I came upon a photo shoot blocking most of a west village side street with a topless transsexual in full regalia posing on a pile of tires for like five cameramen.

was she shitting on the tires?

i averted my eyes, the world will never know

i piss outside

saw a lady poop in my alley when I lived in chicago

topless = not full regalia iirc

there was lots of jewelry and tassels and stufff

I've only seen public pooping once... in North Carolina.

I can't stop accidentally looking at homeless dudes' dicks

whenever I am walking around, and I hear running water, I kind of instinctively turn around to see where the noise is coming from for some reason so like there's that

i personally have never seen anyone shitting in public anywhere in NYC during the past 14 or so years i've worked in/lived around the city. in fact, i don't think i've ever seen anyone shitting in public anywhere ... maybe i live a sheltered life.

also, when i think of a major city where public pissing is acceptable (even if you're not drunk or homeless), i don't think of New York -- i think of Paris. and i've seen non-drunk/non-homeless people pissing on the street in Paris (and other French towns).

btw I went to a lol internet cafe or w/e across the street this afternoon, around noon, because my printer wouldn't work and it was filled w/ all these kids playing a vid game and then three grown men huddled around one computer passing a fifth of vodka around and watching funny youtube vids. If I am not careful I will prob see one of their dicks later

see also Amsterdam

actually they weren't really funny youtube vids, it was kind of strange, it was like they were watching a series of some middle aged woman's vlog

was she pooping

new vlog city

at first, i thought that the vlogger on NYC & Pizza was imitating Tintin, till i realized that it's just a strategically-placed play button.

this was like month ago. the funny thing is the dude was like 30 seconds away from 'the nicest public bathroom in ny' (Bryant park) and he had a roll of tp w/ him that I'm pretty sure he stole from the bathroom.

well, sometimes you just gotta go no matter how close or nice the facilities for taking a dump are!

Homeless guy in SF splashed pee on my girlfriend's shoes when we drunkenly turned a corner at the wrong time.

maybe we should just start a thread 'people pooping on the streets'

i've been in NYC subway cars where the smell was so bad that it could've very well been the smell of shit. but even so, i've never actually seen anyone doing #2 in public in NYC.

I've only seen people publicly doing #2 in the lakefront running path. Not pretty.

rock 'n roll, dope, shitting in the streets

THE INDECENCY

as the past few weeks of sweltering heat have served as a pungent reminder, the NYC subway system (stations, platforms, cars, the tracks, the whole lot) smells rancid enough even without rank bodily excretions.

the colostomy bag marathon, coming to a city near you!

hey if anyone wants to know about the times ive seen homeless/mentally handicapped people going to the bathroom, just let me know.

Yes but what about when you weren't on the set of Lost?

you guys are all such street poop rookies

i've not pooped in the street, but i've seen it done.

whereas the number of times i've pissed in the street is so numerous, i can only apologize to the decent folk who don't do so.

BTW I saw that topless lady that always gets "sighted" and put on blogs and stuff in union square today. ONLY IN NEW YORK CITY AMIRITE GUYS

Also last week as we were waiting in the lobby of a building in queens to see an apartment, a very old man who clearly had shitstains on his jeans walked in and got into the elevator. My wife and I later admitted to each other that this image made it impossible for both of us to feel good about the apartment, because it was like moving there would mean decay and death.

might also mean cheaper rent tho

actually it didn't matter cuz the owner only wanted to rent his apt furnished

Get out of my street, and into my pool.

And this week, the NYTimes takes notice that there are still tiny corners of Brooklyn that aren't filled with yuppies yet:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/09/nyregion/as-brooklyn-gentrifies-some-neighborhoods-are-being-left-behind.html

You know, like only about 85% of the borough remains ungentrified.

we traveled east from williamsburg and it turns out brooklyn just keeps on going, more information as it becomes available

TBF, if you travel east from Williamsburg you hit Queens.

not on the subway map bro

smh turns out hurtings not a real new yorker

East of Williamsburg = Ridgewood

oh, you're doing that thing, again

sry hurting for real new yorkers manhattan is the n/s axis every real new yorker knows this

The article makes it sound like it's all either Park Slope or Brownsville too. There are like GIGANTIC middle class neighborhoods in Brooklyn that have been middle class for decades.

oh, you're doing that thing, again
