*LOL* With the weather heating up, situation underground has been *HOT*. Witnessed a few arguments almost come to blows between men and women.

Seriously, the Crusties are 10× worse than the regular homeless panhandlers who just want to survive. Was on the L train 3 Crusties sat across from me they took 3 rats out of a cardboard box & were petting them & kissing them.

There's a bunch of panhandlers in the parking lot of the Glen Oaks shopping center in Queens. Some look mentally ill while others look like professional panhandlers. They congregate near doors to stores and accost you when you pass to enter. While panhandling may be legal in NYC I'm pretty sure you can't do it on private property like a parking lot of a shopping center. The landlord/owner apparently doesn't care.

Haha....You know this is NYC, the weather doesn't even need to be hot for arguments to come to blows. Even in the winter (on the subway) people act quite cranky and uncivilized. My favorite are people who lean on the pole damn well knowing its a packed train and people need a place to hold onto. And when you ask them to kindly stop - they try to get nasty. I find it so funny!

For those reasons and so many others, avoid the subway like the plague.

When you shoved her did she go airborne? Wondering if that's how you got your name LOL. She should have not done that to you WTF are people thinking?. They do that to the wrong person and it ain't gonna end well. It kind of didn't for her but, you know what I mean. There are lots of loose cannons in these here streets LOL

90% of these people are hustlers. An amateur working a train can easily collect $2 per subway car every 2 minutes. That's $60/hour or $500 a day on a full 8 hour shift. The ones that know what they're doing can do multiples of that, $200+/hour.

DO NOT GIVE PEOPLE MONEY ON THE STREET OR TRAINS

If you are feeling charitable donate to a legitimate charity or city organization that will feed or cloth actual needy people, not junkies looking for their next hit or lazy bums who don't want to do actual work for their disposable income

Wow, I'm HIGHLY skeptical of those numbers.

In any case, I was down on St. Marks today, and saw a small crew of crusty's lounging around.
