I had a little run-in with this lady at the shoprite this weekend.

She was blocking an entire shelf with her cart and herself, so I had to squeeze my way in to get what I want. My tote bag mildly hit her when I passed through.

She went "Excuse you!". I looked over her
Then she went
"Yeah. I am talking to you! You should excuse yourself when you run into someone!"

I said "Well then, you should excuse yourself where you park your cart".

She said "Uh-huh. You almost knocked me down! Excuse yourself F**kin' A**hole!!!"

I was so surprised how aggressive she was, so I just said "Have a nice day" and left, which she didn't enjoy at all.

The store is like 3rd country war zone.

thats a really random story. i dont know why they would shake their fist at you or your friend unprovoked. maybe they're just crazy. kinda dumb that security didnt kick them out, especially if it wasnt the first time that it happened.

they do have pretty cheap prices, but a) i wouldnt go specifically there just due to the prices, and b) i wouldnt specifically avoid it due to 'ghettoness'. mostly i go in because it's right next door to the BJ's, which is where i get most of my stuff. the leftover stuff i cant / won't get from BJ's is acquired at shoprite

I don't believe anyone here can dispute that helping another fellow human being out is a good thing for society. Whether simply offering a seat up to a pregnant woman, or one carrying a baby, or moving over to allow a young child to simply stand in the front car to enjoy the view from the window....it's everyone's duty as a citizen of humanity to try to be nice to each other, because kindness is infectious, as is nastiness. SO the less nastiness the better for all involved.
Now, on a safety front, pregnant women and fathers/mothers holding small children are already off-balance. Do you really want to contribute to one of them possibly falling, hurting themselves, the child, or the unborn baby when the train jerks about? Simply because you were self-righteously thinking 'bout equality or whether the child is riding free vs. your paid fare??

If an adult male is holding a large, unwieldy package on his torso, (similar to a pregnant woman is) then I would hope that a fellow rider might offer his seat up, as would I, to anyone I see might need some help.
Let's not take it all to the women VS men talk, it's not really the point, is it? (for the record, although I always declined because I never really needed the seat, I rode the PATH throughout my pregnancy, rarely being offered a seat, or a pole to hold on to. The handful of times I was offered, was USUALLY by a woman and usually they mentioned they had children, so they were also mothers.)
Just because some folks decided to have children, and others did not, is not the point, with child, or childless, we need to think of how we can contribute to the overall happiness and wellbeing of our society, and not try to take on 'tit for tat' or 'not my problem' attitudes.

She was is a lovely pink jumpsuit with a hoodie. She pranced up and down the car rabbling like a crazy person. She would see her reflection in the window and either laugh or scream Hoodie on! hoodie off! Then she sucks her thumb like a baby and starts to cry. Then laughs out loud.

And what exactly do you think should have been done about this? Do you have an idea for a general solution to keep crazy people off of public transportation? Is it better that they be driving?

Call in the JCPD! They seem to know exactly how to deal with crazy people.

I think "smarter than he's given credit for" is a more likely answer than not guilty. I think (as seems apparent in the Beldini complaint) that he knows the outer edges of the law - when to leave a room, how things can be structured to give the appearance of legality (or at a minimum, raise reasonable doubt), how to convince his lackeys to be his funnels to remove culpability from himself, etc. That's how I'm betting, anyhow.

as much as the new residents hate to admit it Booker T is part of Downtown whether you want to consider it or not.

You can "define" downtown any way you please, but most people here use the term to refer to the part of town east of the highway and south of the tunnel.

Click on Historic Downtown and notice the borders. It is not just me and the residents that grew up in Downtown, the city defines it as Downtown as well.

You guys seem to be describing some kind of automotive thing? I thought the jitney/shuttle was a high speed helicopter or at least jetted tram passing well over the slums below?

You mean it must actually travel along Bergen Avenue, Yeccch! I'm surprised the creme de la creme who live in the hospital would tolerate the squalor.

Considering the Beacon bus takes residents directly to the Grove Street and Exchange Place PATH stations, why would it travel along Bergen Avenue?

There's a whole world outside of Newport. If your thing is being smug and snarky, at least take the minute and a half to open google maps and get your tired insult straight.

Cars jumbled up so you cannot get by with your shopping....last walk by looked like a used car lot with cars on the sidewalk and people unloading in the STREET, Washington Boulevard....4 cars overloads the unloading area.
Class hotel, my ass.


And yes, building to the sidewalk is ugly, tacky and would never be allowed in a real city...just some backroom operation like Jersey City. Has nothing to do with hating Jersey City, just the morons on what would pass as a zoning board IF we have one.


It's a MESS built on a lot too small for the place...and what are the two behemoths going accross the street in the parking lot of the Doubltree, another couple stupid, useless one star hotels..."But Mrs. Slocombe, there ARE no NO STAR hotels?"

An unplanned nightmare where developers can put up whatever stupid nightmare they had the night before, wherever they wish!
Architectural students will be studying this mess called DOWNTOWN for years as an example of why we need urban planning and what horrors can result without any knowledgable input.
