]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> Ha! That wardrobe scammer hit on me twice--like 10 years apart! I saw him a 3rd time just recently accosting a young blond (like myself) with the exact same story. I intervened and he gave me a dirty look and scampered off. Awesome.

Ok I've met a guy like this. It was right when I moved into New York and we were in midtown pulling into a parking garage and he walked in front of the car. So the driver rolled down the window and said, "Move, jackass" and this guy said, "Fuck you! Assholes! Rich fucking assholes!" and then walked back and said, "I'm sorry. . . you're not assholes. . . it's my fault. I'm sorry." He had a long grey ponytail in a braid. . . I hope we are talking about the same guy because this guy was carrying two LV bags, a dirty backpack, and was very thin. I would love to put a name to a face.

had either of you ever met Percy?

the wonderful, rail-thin crack addict who carried a collection of louis vetton bags while asking for money--would walk past you, then walk back apologizing. my favorite, "hi. hi, i'm sorry. i wouldn't really kill you. it--it was just something that came to me. i'm sorry. i'd never kill you."

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> @bittergreen: The better guy was the one that would walk all over Washington Sq and Union Sq and ask for a quarter. "Hey man, got a quarter?" - on repeat. God forbid if you offered two dimes and a nickel or even a dollar, NO GOOD! This guy needed a quarter. One of the crazies that make me miss NYC. Never met the guy you are talking about.

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> @bittergreen: I never met that guy, but my only connection to NYU was the summer I stayed in the dorms while attending a ballet workshop. I was either in class or, on weekends, making harassing phone calls to the people who ran the food service because they shut down EVERYTHING on weekends.

Rowen

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> @bittergreen: He's living with the guy who came up to me (twice) telling me he was stuck in the city all night, but he lived way out in in Queens (did I know it) and needed fare to get home.

I was always amazed how Downey Fresh his nice white teeshirt was even though he'd been sleeping out on the streets.

I only look like I'm not a NYer.

SheLaughs

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> @bittergreen: He had a variation on that one. It was the "I'm a wardrobe assistant working on a shoot for Tony Scott, and we have a 5 AM call time..." And he knew just enough about the commercial business to spin a credible lie.

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> @Rowen: The only thing that NYU-ers are in danger from, is falling for that sob-story that one scammer guy who used to walk around the village and ask for money from people because he "locked his keys in his apartment, and he needs cab fare to go up town and get a spare set from his sister's apartment, and if you give him your address, he'll mail you the $20 back, but he needs to take a cab, cause he was suppose to haul these clothes to a fashion show..."

I wonder whatever happened to that guy. He tried that 3 different times on me.

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> @kentuckienne: When I first arrived in NYC for school, we were all sat down and given a speech by a police officer that basically was "Now that you've moved to New York, it's only a matter of time before you're mugged, raped, and murdered. Here's how to cope." During this speech, he informed us to replace our ipod headphones with cheap generic ones, and to carry our bags tucked under our arms like a football. I listened to the first one, but if someone really wants my gym clothes and a copy of "Europe: a History" that bad, they can have it.

Rowen

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> Do they sell arm bands for this model?

Claystil

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> That thing will never fit into the pocket of any pair of skinny jeans.

Rowen

]]> <![CDATA[The Next Ironic L Train Accessory]]> Is that why people went back to the white headphones? I thought it was an ironic way of saying "Please, mug me."
