I don’t know if it was just me for some reason but are the security guards at 590 Madison on some rent-a-cop power trip???

Was told that I “wasn’t allowed” to put my feet on a chair while I was sitting at a table minding my own. Asked the guard why to which he responded “I work here” as if that was justification.

Obviously with Privately Owned Public Spaces the owners are allowed to set some rules but that seemed excessive even to me. I asked where that rule was posted and the security guard pointed to a sign on the wall. The closest rule that seemed relevant said that you couldn’t place personal belongings on chairs or benches, but that’s a stretch.

I’m not gonna waste time on it and the folks across the street at 550 Madison in the other POPS literally next door were much nicer anyways. Just wondering if anyone else has had any weird experiences

I use Google pay to pay for things. And I know, although it really wouldn't be that hard, I would mess up switching between cards on the google pay app. Don't feel like risking it.

Of course, my monthly metro card is cheaper than OMNY currently. When I have to make the switch, I'm hoping the OMNY cards are easy to find.

  1. Because Westchester Bee-line doesn't accept phone payments yet, so we're still stuck having to use the Metro card.
  2. Bc using the omny card ensures that you're being charged the correct amount and not being double charged.

> The revised bill allows only complaints in Lower Manhattan (Community Board 1) and Downtown Brooklyn (Community Board 2) in the first year that it takes affect. In the second year, the area in which complaints could be lodge would expand to all of Manhattan plus Brooklyn community districts 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, Queens community district 1, 2 and 3, and Bronx community district 1. (A map of community districts is here.) By year three, the entire city would be covered.

Why do we do this stupid, ridiculous, stuff

" The revised bill requires that the car be “unoccupied” when a report is filed, a change that is aimed at avoiding conflict."

-I see this provision being so exploitable. I was taking the q46 and saw a bunch of dump trucks on queens blvd bike lanes with their drivers inside, which according to this provision means you can't report them.
