My brother just passed on a curious link called N Train Gossip. It's a twitter page that displays user-submitted photos, showcasing N Train etiquette offenders or just people doing some strange ol' things. Exhibit a - The Nosepicker. Exhibit b - The Eater. Exhibit c - The Mickey Mouse enthusiast. And so on...I think you get the point.
So next time you're riding our beloved N train, make sure you're on your best behavior. Or misbehave on purpose and get your 15 minutes of fame. Enjoy and spread the word.
Wow, I had no idea. I'm now following. I did see this today, though, which made me laugh:

Highlighted on both Gothamist and Astorians.
Ick. I think this sort of behavior is just disgusting. The sleaze bag who runs it totally gets off on all the attention- both negative and positive. Give him a piece of your mind @petemalachowsky he's who runs it.
ReplyDeleteI had heard that the internets figured out who it is! Bravo to everyone involved.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder, though... how many subway riders make snap judgments of their fellow riders by just looking at them? I imagine most people do - tensions run high on the trains, especially during rush hour. I've been thinking about this since I heard about it. In some way, are we all like Pete Malachowsky, in our snap judgments? Well, without making the judgmental thoughts public, like he did. I don't have an answer to that, it's just something I've been pondering. I would welcome a thoughtful discussion on this.
Yeah, Id LOVE it if someone took a picture of me on the train.....how rude and invasive. I'd smash that hipsters iPhone so fast his head would spin.
