An unusual complaint about carriage horses was sent in to the NY Times' Metropolitan Diary.
A woman tells of her harrowing parking experience, saying she was about to back in to a spot on Central Park West, across from her apartment building, but "as soon as I put the car in reverse to parallel park, I noticed a horse and buggy. I checked my rearview mirror and couldn’t believe that the horse came as close as possible to my car and started licking it, from the trunk to the back window. The horse’s saliva created a film over my children’s college decals." Not the decals!
She then, of course, got out of her car and screamed at the driver. College decal destruction: Just one more reason to ban the carriage horse industry?

Epic white whine.
why does everything have to be about race, you fuck.
I've got white friends so it's ok!
Ethinic jokes might be uncouth,
But you laugh because
They're based on truth.
Don't take them as
Personal attacks.
Everyone enjoys them -
So relax!
Oh, also, paging Dr. Felix. Dr. Felix you're wanted in a comment thread.
ftc2 bait. I'll pass.
go to a car wash so your kids' bmcc decals can be seen again. fuck, i would say acid rain and the salt from winter salt trucks do more damage to cars.
Since the parking spot was across the street from her apartment on Central Park West, all that woman had to do was call her maid on the cell phone to come out with some Windex to wipe off the car windows.
Geez, some people.
You know, the first thing I thought when I read this was, "Why don't you park your car in a garage, you cheapass?"
shame, poor horse was probably hungry and thirsty not to much sick from all the fumes from her car. These poor horses live a nose to tailpipe existence. this industry is unsafe to pedestrian and drivers and Cruel to the horses. Shame on Quinn and Bloomberg.

You might be right. Maybe the horse was trying to lick the condensation off the car because it was thirsty.
I often walk by Central Park and those low-life carriage drivers always seem to be standing around gossiping and don't seem to be concerned whether or not the horses have adequate feed and water, especially water.
what a bitch. and what an epic waste of space for the NYT.
Yup.
Perhaps she'd be better off if the Horse licked her Vag. Then perhaps it would've cleansed her cavity of the extra accumulation of salt that was deposited from years of being a snobbish wench.

English Translation
"Listen, in your county there are people without food, children in the streets without shoes and hungry. But you are here in my country talking about my horse. What do you know of my horse? What do you know of my horse? In your country there are children without shoes and with hunger and with fear in the streets without fathers, without homes, with nothing. My horse has a home, has someone to care for him. In your country there is nothing for the children in the city of Mexico and they don't have shoes, no food and you are here talking about my horse.
You are a whore. Return to your country with food for the children in the streets. Why don't you care about the children in your country?
Why are they without shoes in the streets robbing to live."
"This one might have 5 or 6 kids, you know, what can I tell you."
"Return to your country and give food and shoes to the children in the streets. Thank you very much."
"the vag-tastic voyage"
Aren't most college decals applied to the inside of the windows? Perhaps as another mentioned the decals were from BMCC so they are more like stickers than decals. How about a nice bumper sticker on the back of her pristine '94 Volvo wagon. Obviously if she is parking on the street the car isn't worth that much.
I'm surprised she knows how to parallel park. I can't wait until she goes to get in her car and finds out that someone stripped it of its motor.

NYC horse carriage accident on Sept 19th. The drivers continue picking up tourist around the wreck. It is all about money and no concern at all for the horses.
Poor horses are DOUBLE PARK alongside Tour buses, city buses, delivery trucks etc . This is a shame. End the cruelty and there will less congestion and more parking space.
I agree! I used to work around central park and frequently saw them out. surely there must be another way for the drivers to earn a living.
PS-she's lucky she wasn't outside and the horse ate beef-a-rino.
NY-Class would provide them antique replica green cars to drive and the revenue will be shared with the taxpayers and the drivers will have professional jobs.
sign petition/letter with ny-class.org to support the cause. THANKS!!!!!!!

Rusty!
Beefareeno!
If anyone bothered to read the NYT post, the lady was more peeved that the carriage driver blocked her from backing into the spot than complaining about the horse licking the window.

Maybe she'll think twice now before covering her car in delicious college decals.
streets should be for horses only! ban all cars now!
The Metro Diary is always good for an upper-crust laugh. Oh, those richies!
And at the beginning of this century, horrified drivers whinny and bolt at the fearsome sight of horses.
Spell check here. Did you mean whinny or whiney?
Good point: I may have missed a nasal intonation when I saw her running down the street desperately trying to tap 311 into her Blackberry.
I doubt if she was ever a Mister Ed fan.
Coming up at 11 o'clock, hysterical twat accosted by old gray nag.
First of all, the graphic with Mrs. Howell(Lovey!)is hilarious LOL.
Secondly, many of the comments were equally guffaw-inducing LOL
Lastly, poor Felix and his ilk still clinging to absurd canards about the horses having no water - such eejits. The horses have all the water they want/need, being offered it TWICE at the troughs on EVERY ride (one at the entrance of 6th ave, one just inside the park at 60th and 5th) Horses' digestive tracts are delicate and unusual - if they didn't get enough water, they'd be dropping like flies all over the place, faster than an average mammal. Aside from being untrue, to say they don't get water is just plain STOOPID.
And Felix - that translation you provided about children in Central America is true - our horses DO have more than those children have. Tragically and disgustingly true.
Mexico is in South American not CENTRAL america. it is obvious that you are ignorant and a liar. YOu must be a carriage driver
I meant Mexico is in North America not Central. Also it wasn't my translation but the translation on the youtube video description box.
Damn straight I'm a carriage driver, and proud of it! And have you made up your mind whether Mexico is N or S America? LOL I didn't even see the reference to Mexico, I was skimming - because I know not only the driver who said that, but the person he said it TO, who happens to be from Central America. And you know that as well. And actually, it makes not a whit of diff, because our horses have more than many children have either in Mexico OR countries in Central America.How come you morons aren't demonstrating in the streets for the children who HAVE LESS THAN ANIMALS???
Crooked trashy horse abuser. Get a real job instead of exploiting horses and stealing from consumers. Go feed the hungry children instead of abusing horses. Do something worthwhile parasite.
