This may be a stupid idea.

man, i hate that annoyingly patronizing metro guy. hes like friendly to a fault sometimes... not trying to sound like an ass here... but when im ALREADY reading a metro, its sorta absurd for him to try to push another one into my hands. i start trying to avoid him 20 feet in advance when im forced to take the GAP 2/3 some days (as opposed to eastern pkwy). hes always hassling me about taking an amNY or telling me i should put down whatever book i have my nose burried in and pick up a metro. i also have specific disdain for him because hes one of those people that jabbers at me like "hey there big guy! hows about a paper! lemme give ya a metro... you know you want it! you dont need that stupid book/ipod/doughnut, holmes!". i hate that soooo much.

he also freaked out on me when- in efforts to curtail his overzealousness- i told him about hte metro racism scandal of yore... he was like "so what?!" which i found amusing, as he's black and employeed by a company thats openly used the N-word in jokes at corporate events.

fuck that. i cant deal with that sort of crap first thing in the pre-coffee morning...

He and his repetitive, patronizing, faux-cheery, "I used suck dick for crack till I found God" bullshit peppiness makes me want to kill and smear blood on the walls. I don't read either rags, but even if i did, I'd never take anything from him, just for principle. What is that guy on?

phew! im glad to know that my feelings about him arent unique :twisted:

Have you noticed that the 2 trash cans about 20 ft away are always full now?

I don't particularly like these guys and the picture of a fistfight idea is kind of funny, but it's also very Howard Stern-ish (a la "bumfights"), and kind of feels wrong.

the whole concept of amny and metro is wasteful. ubiquitous, low-content papers fulla mistakes. every day when i get on the path, its littered ankle-deep with those things! i always get sad watchign hte poor guy at the end of the line having to bag it all up.

but its something to read on the train i guess...

It's both equally, but i get your point.
