I forget the comedian but I found this observation funny:
- a lone person leaning on a building having a smoke: no problem
- wandering in circles in the park talking on the phone: no one gives a second thought
- sitting on a bench by yourself doing nothing: who the hell is this psycho?!
- blamazon 5y agoThis is funny, but one of my favorite parts of New York City is how solo idle bench sitting is socially normalized. I've had many more nice serendipitous chats with other solo idle bench sitters in NYC than other American metro areas where I have idle solo bench sat. Perhaps it has to do with the implicit communal assumption that everyone in public is a potential psycho.
