Rogue Motorists: 1 (pair of pants)
n8han:
Thanks to someone using the bicycle lane as a BMW lane at the cursed Delancey stoplight, I slipped on some strange black sand at the edge of the street and tore my new pants.
Jerk.

mtaniac:
This is a story Nat and I stumbled across. A freelance writer has quite the experience on a subway platform. She gave me permission to post the link on here. Thanks Lindsay! :)

Cyclists inhale twice as much soot as pedestrians →
carschmar:

This skinny, Lululemon-wearing, Blackberry-wielding Upper East Side mom grabbed my coffee instead of her own and took off, regardless of the fact that she had been at least four people behind me in line.

Me: You must be reading the bible upside down, 'cus you got it all wrong.
lady: You're going to hell
Me: Judging by the amount of stupidity coming from your mouth I don't think you can actually read. So excuse me while I go change seats.
