Please Stop With The Subway Dance Parties, Please

Please Stop With The Subway Dance Parties, Please

We know we already have a reputation for being curmudgeonly, but hear us out: everyday we ride the subways, we put up with delays, no pants riders, seat hogs, overripe straphangers, drunk people who talk too loud, stumblers, shovers, spaghetti eaters, toe-nail groomers, masturbators, and of course, rats. Maybe some people like to talk to strangers and have intimate conversations about dirty panties—and more power to you!—but we just want to get from Point A to Point B without anything getting stolen. So can we please stop with the impromptu subway dance parties, please? more ›

Is This The Most Annoying Restaurant Review Ever?

Is This The Most Annoying Restaurant Review Ever?

File under: gratingly genius. Chow recently compiled a list of the "78 Most Annoying Words to Read in a Restaurant Review" (ugh, "tummy?" "redolent?"), and now blogger FoodieBuddha has gone and written what can only be described as The Most Annoying Restaurant Review Ever, of Soho's beloved (and soon-to-expand) Torrisi Italian Specialties. "In my opinion, the food at Torrisi might not be conceptually decadent, but it is gutsy and oh so yummers … or yummilicious … or yummo … or perhaps the more reserved 'yummy.'" more ›

Slush, Our Winter Enemy

Slush, Our Winter Enemy

It's a routine we're all too familiar with: You eye the disgusting, grey puddle of ice, snow and other crap and try to decide whether it's a superficial mess or actually a secret slush lake that will soak your shoes, socks and pants. The snow mush slush is forcing people to leap over the puddles, but then there are the slush puddles that are so huge, some people will climb snowbanks or even walk in the middle of streets. more ›

WSJ Poll: Time To Go Away, Sharpton and Giuliani

WSJ Poll: Time To Go Away, Sharpton and Giuliani

NYC has an overabundance of larger-than-life characters who leap from the pages of the local dallies with Tex Avery-like behavior and buffoonery. A kind person would say their out-sized personalities and antics are an appropriately out-sized reflection of our city. But then again, sometimes you just want them to shut up and go away. And it seems many NYers especially want former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Reverend Al Sharpton to go away. more ›

Snooki Found Guilty Of "Annoying Others"

Snooki Found Guilty Of "Annoying Others"

Jersey Shore's Snooki is now officially annoying. The reality star was found guilty today of "annoying others" (it's a 13 year old local law on the Shore) during her drunken escapades on the beach earlier this summer. She seems relieved by her sentence, however, broadcasting over Twitter earlier: "Ah never again! So scary...thank you judge for understanding, I'm very thankful for that! Whew... now I can breath!" more ›

What Annoys New Yorkers The Most?

       

There are a lot of things that annoy New Yorkers, though maybe nothing more than seeing such a complex group of people being reduced to a pie chart. Nevertheless, the Post compiled this chart of things that piss off New Yorkers. So, are they right? more ›

Subway Seat Hog Subset <i>Man-sitters</i>, Beware!

Subway Seat Hog Subset Man-sitters, Beware!

The NYC Transit's Rules of Subway/Bus Conduct note that it is a violation to:

Place one's foot on the seat of a subway, bus, or platform bench; occupy more than one seat or place bags on an empty seat when doing so would interfere with transit operations or the comfort of other customers.
And while mansitting is indeed behavior that interferes with the comfort of other customers, sometimes it comes so naturally to subway riders that others are driven to create logos like this. Next, we hope for the "No Jerks Who Don't Give Up Their Seats to the Elderly, Disabled, Pregnant or People with Kids" logo, but that might take a little while longer. more ›
