Vegan acts like a jerk on the train (1 Viewer)

Could only stand a minute or so of that accent...decided that even if this video caught definitive proof of alien life or the second coming...it just was not worth it to listen to that sound you guys call a language.

 
Do people not use their headphones on the trains up there? I would never have heard this ####### if this happened on my route. Headphones have to stay on the whole time so nobody gets the idea that I want to talk to them.
Unfortunately this is very true for those of us who ride the subway... I doubt it is as bad for someone on LIRR.

Are there any police on these trains? What happens if somebody had just beat the #### out of that guy like they should have?
What happens if someone had done that on the street? Pretty much the same thing. There's not a policeman on every single streetcorner.
So people just let that guy talk to them like that? I thought New Yorkers were tough?That #### wouldn't have flown in the south. Try that in Florida. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit.
Yeah, them's face-eating words down in Florida.

 
What did Clint say/do to get this guy going?
The guy got on the train and yelled at some woman for talking loudly on her phone. (Turns out later she was just talking to her grandmother sitting next to her). He was a real jerk about it.From there on in, he was just talking loudly and being obnoxious (having weird, inappropriate, borderline racist conversations with the guy next to him, etc., though a funny part in that conversation with the guy next to him was when guy next to him, a youngish asian guy, told him he met his wife through "gaming"; that just blew perp's mind, and the convo was pretty funny thereafter)). Clint finally said what we were all feeling, in essence, "god, you're way more annoying than the woman on the phone, you should ####." The perp blew up, video began.
So Clint decided to redirect Vegan's attention to him. While not stopping the idiot's talking, he at least rescued others from being the target. :thumbup:

(may not be true, only made it through 30 seconds of that accent)

People who live in big cities and commute via mass transit learn through experience how to deal with mental illness. You can't go beating on every aggressive crazy person who rides the train. Ignoring them is always the best approach, unless a crazy dude is abusing a woman or old dude, then someone has to step in and redirect.

This.

 
What happened to Raymond Rodney? Guy's been outside of Penn on 34th and 7th everyday like clockwork. Now he's been replaced by some Vegan protester. I've always wanted to ask him what he has against NASA and if he didn't mean the NSA.

To some of us outsiders the line between mentally ill and typical New Yorker is not always clear.

In this case it's fair to assume the guy is mentally ill because why else wouldn't you want to eat delicious meat.

The subway is much worse than the LIRR too... You can't go fight every lunatic.

 
Why are people standing when there are so many open seats!!??
My reasons for standing on the subway instead of sitting:

1. Getting off at the next stop.

2. Person sitting next to open seat is obviously crazy and/or smells like ####.

3. Better sightline toward a hot chick.

There is no more annoying accent than a New York/NJ accent. Not South, not Upper Midwest.

Most people in NJ/NY/CT/PA don't have accents and sound completely normal, more so than a lot of other places.

 
NYC subway is one of the greatest shows on earth.
The "entertainers" are getting out of control though. They need to crack down on that BS.

That's weird.

"Hey, we're all in a filthy hole in the ground waiting around. Let's try not to get out of hand and be entertaining, okay?"
I don't mind on the platform, in fact it's kinda cool sometimes, but there is a level of intimidation to hand over money after their performance at times while on the train. And sometimes they'll have a boombox cranked as loud as possible. Wtf needs that in the morning.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, on the train is ridiculous. Those people should be shot in the face.

They're basically using the poles that are for holding onto for balance as a gymnastics apparatus. Absolutely awful.

I much prefer the selling candy shtick.

Honestly, if you ride the same train all the time, you see a lot of the same panhandlers and performers too. For a system that services millions daily, seeing these same people who are always asking for money becomes irritating.

"People where I live don't have accents" shtick is awesome.
:shrug: Most of us around here don't.
Here's the problem as I see it.

We absolutely have accents or dialects or whatever you want to call them. Certain words especially get said differently to kind of give it away to the non-linguist-expert. Having said that, for the most part, in my limited travels up and down the east coast (only been out west once when I was a kid) the whole - OMG that is a thick accent - is way overblown. Some people have massively thick accents but it's rare.More often the accents I see and deal with are because of different languages not region.

What is annoying are the people that overblow the accent thing. The whole, where are you from? Oh, I'm from New Jersey, you? Oh, you live in New Joissseyyy? Yeah, you ****, I do. And if you want my North Jersey Italian temper to come out by all means, say that again you mafankulo.
