Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Subway solicitations are the worst. There is no escaping them - the doors ding shut and you're trapped. Today on my commute home I had the pleasure of two such encounters. The first was an entire Mariachi band, and while I admit they were good, it can be difficult navigating around a bass. The second was the standard homeless speech "I just need help, anything you can give would be appreciated. I don't want to be doing this but I don't have other choices. I don't do drugs, I just need help." Today's pitch had a twist though - she added that she would appreciate any help "including advice." I would love to have seen her reaction had someone actually tried to offer advice instead of give her money.

Verdict: Hate New York Today
