Is Manspreading A Crime? Arrest Of New York Men On Train Etiquette Charges Sparks Debate

[Dorian Gray]

149. I agree.

I live in a building in Park Slope, and we have a (Very tiny!) garden out front of the building. I can't tell you how much garbage is discarded in the garden. Every day, I pick something out of the garden or off of the sidewalk going up to the entrance. Every single day. And I am talking about diaper wipes, soda cans, plastic bags, newspaper pages, etc.

There are garbage cans on both corners of the street, too.

If people don't want to be inconvenienced for twenty seconds to hold onto garbage til the corner, then imagine that mentality in a crowd like situation.


And then there are all the mothers in my neighborhood who peek up to cross at a crosswalk when they don't have the light, often pushing their strollers almost into the line of traffic to see if any traffic is coming. I get so angry because they are exposing their children to danger so they can get across the street thirty seconds faster.


Again, take that mentality onto a subway.


Ticketing for littering and jaywalking may be the answer. I don't know.
