Entertainment, Advice, The Average Joe, and of course my own personal woes... What will I talk about? Who knows? I've decided that I need a larger space to record my countless rants. Like to hear it? Here it goes...

NYC Etiquette

Those living or visiting NYC should be provided with a list of rules for proper New Yawk City etiquette. Being that no one has produced such a list... I've decided to note two from my own repertoire...
1. Always keep right!

  • Keeping to your right allows for a smooth flow of traffic. This is especially important during peak flow times i.e. lunch/rush hour.
  • This rule is most important when going up/down subway steps or escalators. It creates mass chaos when you don't follow this rule and try to descend on your left while others are coming up on the same side. You think this would be common sense. Additionally, regardless if you are with a child, friend, or mate... when you are on the escalator you should always keep right. The left side is reserved for those in a rush who want to walk up.
2. NO MORE loose change.
  • Stop digging for exact change at the register. Not only are you creating more work for the cashier (yes! they have to count hoards of change at the end of the night), but you are holding up the damn line. Women are usually the culprits as they actually have change compartments in their wallets. There is nothing worse than being stuck behind someone who is killing themselves trying to find and count out 96 cents only to realize that they only have 91 cents. Just break the damn bill and build up a piggy bank at home.

  • I hate when some broke bastard boards the bus with loose change. The fare is now $2.25, which means at the bare minimum you will be depositing at least 9 coins. Paying your fare with coins is time consuming and once again holds everyone up. The MTA created the "Metro Card" for a reason. In the words of Fergie, "If you aint got no money take your broke ass home."

lets not forget the pain in the ass folks who have an umbrella large enough for a tribe to hide under! there should be proper etiquette when holding/having an umbrella in the city...since you don't own this city, get a reasonable size umbrella so you don't inconsiderately knock others in the damn head! also if you can't manage to have anything but a large umbrella for your large EGO then at least raise your parachute high when you see other people with normal size umbrellas pass by!!! hmph!
