I've lived in NYC all my life. I've never been yelled at by a homeless person. It could happen to me today, who knows, but I'm not sure I would let that define my understanding of NYC. New York is not what is shown in the movies or TV shows. It's not a sequence of crazy experiences waiting to happen. It's a city where people live and work. The guy was simply doing what he perceived was his responsibility. Whether he was right or wrong is open to discussion, but he was not a homeless guy yelling about hot dogs.
- CPLX 10y ago> I've lived in NYC all my life. I've never been yelled at by a homeless person. Do you, like, commute by luxury Towncar? I've "only" been in NYC for seventeen years, and I have not been quite so lucky as you.
- partisan 10y agoNo, quite the opposite. I grew up in the Bronx in the 80's and 90's and went to school and worked in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I've seen some stuff, but never been personally yelled at by a homeless person. It probably will happen to me at some point, but I won't use it to frame future interactions other New Yorkers.
- Retric 10y agoThere is body language people use to be ignored in NYC. A fast walking pace is one of the most obvious examples.
