You're all starting to scare me!!!

sweet tea

You: walking massive dog. Me: gazing at your marvelous arms. noticed your wellfleet oyster shirt and my debilitating fear of molluscs robbed me of my senses. i clutched my purse and fled in blind terror.

if only the authorities had stopped uncle arthur's cephalopod fighting ring before it was too late!

I saw him again today! Same hairdo and everything. Hey, punk guy... if you are reading this, post your hair care tips. You must be using glue to get it stay up straight like that. Love it!

Isn't posting a Missed Connection somewhat akin to stalking? If you didn't talk to the person you saw in the first place (or they didn't talk to you), then let it go. Otherwise, it seems sort of creepy.

well, craigslist does a booming biz in stalking, I guess.

I saw this guy last night when I was at Hood Hing. I know where he lives. And he looks like a jackass from the 80s with that fucking hair.

you do realize, right, that I like guys that look like industrial jackasses from the 80s? at least he's not trying to look like robert smith - it's awful to see his imitators.

You: Brown skin, I love your brown skin, every time you come around, something magnetic pulls me and I cant get out, disoriented, I cant tell my up from down. Last seen walking two cute dogs in the Park on Sun morning

Me: Shaved head white dude with tongue hanging out - awestruck because I have never seen someone so lovely. Will I see you again?

Oops, oh, hi honey, is that you? I was just kidding around, you know I love you!

Looking like a jackass from the 80's in so very "in" right now.

7th ave B train, just after 9 a.m. this morning. first car. you almost punched me in the face for holding the pole you were leaning on. you do not have a nice ass, so I'm not hitting on you. I'm just wondering how I avoided getting my nose broken. you did call me a bitch and I did say "fuck you" in a very tired, stfu sort of way. your boyfriend told you to stop controlling yourself, at which point I was certain I'd finally get to meet KWAC as I filed a police report, but no, you still didn't throwdown. what's the deal?

the cool ladybug ring I picked up at a stoop sale yesterday served to further anger you - it was aimed right at your spine.

Fun start to the week. Funny how Monday and Friday is always the worst train ride days.

it was so weird to be the entertainment, again, on the train. I never get into this many fights on the 2/3. but the B? it's like fight central.

People leaning on and sometimes hugging(!) the pole on the subway is one of my biggest pet peeves, like they're too weak to actually hold themselves up without help. The ones that actually get offended when they lean into your hand while you're trying to hold on to the pole are the worst! Like I'm actually getting off on having to touch them! Ugh.

My other subway pet peeve is people who stand right in front of the door and block people from getting on and off the subway. They'll take one step into the subway car and just stop, like there's no one else who needs to get on.

And don't even get me started on the people who will just stare at you. It's fine to check people out, but to look over 20 milllion times during a ride gets a bit annoying. "Hello! I have something called peripheral vision!"

People are so self-absorbed and oblivious. Is there a nice way to bitch-slap some sense into them?

alafairnadia

well, as posted earlier in this thread, I have no problems confronting people - generally men as they're easier to shame (I'm a woman) - about leaning on the pole or being asses. and I make really nasty comments a lot of the time - if I get up and give my seat to someone pregnant/elderly/disabled, I will often turn to the nearest able bodied young man and say something rude about what his mother taught him. (I've gotten more and more confrontational over the years - not sure what my damage is other than middle age and angst)

the reason I didn't instantly throw down with this particular woman is that she looked like someone who would hit first and be incapable of speech later. I think I've got a vaguely cute mug so I didn't want to totally fuck up my face over some asshole. but. she brought the fight to me so ...

missed connection? these posts are more like rants and raves. either way they're funny. BTW alafairnadia—you sound like a longtime straphanger and local. i reckon if you feel the need to say something to every rude person you encounter on the subway, that's cool. I applaud you. and i know you realize that if you so desire to *put people in their place* for shitty behavior on public transportation, you'll find ample opportunity to do this—every day. so i guess what i am asking is, why bother risking your reportedly cute face??

alafairnadia

yeah. this thread is proving that we don't need an entire board dedicated to missed connections. i am disappointed by that - it would have been endless entertainment had people been able to pull it off. but if I'm the only one posting i might think I'm a stalker and then what?

and I think I'm just an angry person. and I don't care so much about my face, more about pain. I think if I were a guy, I'd be that moron in bar brawls every few months.

fjord

lately i've noticed that women are often more inclined—in certain situations—to say something to a rude/perceived rude person, man or woman, than men are. i could be wrong.

alafairnadia, we're ALL angry people, right? it's a prerequisite for being a NY'er. thank god we all don't drive, i can imagine daily brawls, no battles a la The Warriors breaking out on every off ramp!

hah! I transferred all of my road rage into pedestrian/subway rage. it's inevitable to have travel/commute rage, i figure.

I think it's pretty safe for a woman to confront a man, especially, about something rude in a public location. a guy can posture back at me as much as he wants, but if he escalates, he runs the risk of some macho dude coming to my rescue. it's easier to just give up. I rarely call out other women, especially women that look like they'll engage me, because they're damned unpredictable.

this seems completely pointless. so you're doing something generous but then have to mix some nastiness into it? it's like giving a friend a really nice birthday present and then browbeating your other friends for giving something lesser. bizarre. but for the record, i also give up my seat to people who look like they need it (same list is above but also someone with kids) unless i'm also using the subway ride into the office as a needed half-hour supplement to my night's rest. some mornings are just terribly painful.

Subject: Huarache call me sometime

I saw you from afar. You were so hot and juicy. I could see the steam rising from skillet as you laid there naked yet well seasoned. Alas, the line was too long. You had your pick of guys and gals wanting to wrap you in their hands and devour you.

Next week maybe?

You DID NOT think anybody on DH could possibly approach a MC thread seriously. Three posts, and out. Always. Seriously funny stuff though.

Hey, I did my part. I usually keep my crushes to myself but this seemed a worthy cause to air one out in public.


I might expand my MC to include all cute girls on bikes. From the tough girl with her kryptonite chain belt and minimalist road bike to the hipster chick on her lowrider, I love you all. Girls on bikes make the best crushes because it is really hard to catch up with them.

I saw you on the 2 or 3 yesterday. Not sure when you got on, but you have sandy brown curly hair, and were talking to your friend about someone you like to work with. Our eyes met, and when I got out at 34th St I turned my head for a last look as I left the train. I think you're cute. PM me?

You: Creepy homeless guy sitting behind me on the B65.

Me: Woman with the tiny kitten wrapped like a burrito in my cleavage.

I didn't smell a thing until you reached over the back of my seat to try and pet the kitten in my bosom. How did you manage to conceal that stench? What is your secret? :shock:
