Yet Another difference b/w SF and NYC
Falling at Penn Station in NYC and breaking your heel: People swarm around you, help you up, and hail a cab back to your apt.
Falling at Forest Hill Station in SF and breaking your heel: People walk right past you and you're left taking the bus since no cabs are in the area.
***********
On the R heading into Queens the morning after you break up with your boyfriend: People are handing you tissues to wipe the unexpected tears, asking if you're alright
On the N-Judah heading to the Embarcadero the morning after you get dumped: People get up and and move away from you as you're balling away.

Dude. What kind of NYC were you in? Was this post 9/11? No one's that nice...
People look at me funny when I cry or laugh on the subway, even though it's usually from something I'm reading.

Thanks...you would think with all the "almost" always beautiful weather, people would be nicer, both on the train and boy-wise...
ganesh:
Could you send a send a slice of cheese and mushroom, too?
tamasha:
Yup, I was in NYC from 2003-2005 and both "events" happened then. Like you, usually my emotion comes out on the train when I'm reading, or listening to a fun or sad track on the iPod, and of course after a bad break-up. :*(
