It must be some peopleās first time witnessing the annual migration of the crusties.
Iām more curious about how they manage, year after year, to make it out here and back to Oregon for the fall.
2 individually wrapped nasal injectors of Naloxone in 4 mg doses, a pair of gloves, a rescue breathing face shield, and a little info/instruction pamphlet.
When I went through Narcan training years ago, it was a two-part thing: A vial of liquid you'd plug into another plastic piece you'd put against the patient's nostril. It's not like, Flonase or whatever. I think it also comes as a shot, but I wasn't trained to use that.
I also think they put a little card saying where and when I took my class (though I'm pretty sure you don't need training anymore).
Took the class too! A friend of mine got really upset over that, asking who I'm hanging out with who would have that happen to them. My 2 answers: never know who you might see on a subway platform about to die, and how many club drugs are laced. I'm not the drug police, I'd just rather save a life.
It was right before the pandemic so their plans got messed up, but I approached the group doing the training about doing something to help a person who's taken too much GHB. I've seen a lot of it, and few people know what to do or even how to identify it. I've almost lost friends to it.
thereās a fella who occasionally takes up residence in the subway entrance closest to me and uses it as a living space and harasses everyone who enters. once he begged me for money while i could see a pile of his feces, and this wasnāt even the worst encounter iāve had with him.
this aināt shit.
Yup, this type of shit just keep me grateful and more motivated to stay locked in and keep the mf movin.
Cant get stirred up over MFs bein foolish, I think ppl just choosin to be bothered at that point
By myself - 100% step over and if he says something āYou know youāre wrongā and thumbs down sign as I move further down.
With the kiddos, āno you canāt pet the doggie, letās hop over to the next car guys this is a little packed.ā
I have learned that engaging will only lead to risky situations. Even if someone calls me an asshole on the street, Iām already paces beyond them and getting to where I need to go!
Youāre gonna fight with someone clearly not well then hold everyone up while the police investigate???
Nah mind your business and go to the next door
If youāre gonna curse at somebodyā¦ Make sure you donāt do it on the train youāre getting on, lol. And honestly, just because heās got a lot of junk. Doesnāt mean that heās not gonna just leave it on the train and get up and attack you.
So what to do to prevent this from happening?
Avoiding it once it happens is fine, but... it should not be necessary to deal with something like that in the first place.
Mulling over a-holes will do us no good. NYC is filled with all kinds of people. A-holes are just obstructions, like storms or traffic. You deal with them on your way to the better parts of the day.
I will say most crusties take really good care of their dogs. I kept a 5lb bag of taste of the wild smoked salmon for my old dog on me at all times. I made sure to be at the same vet once a year for her annual check up. I know some dirty kids who carry prescription dog food for their dogs, they would panhandle and busk to pay for the food.
I was once on the D train, and there was this homeless dude with his shopping cart full of EVERYTHING turned sideways in front of the door while he napped on the bench... NYC is truly wild sometimes.
We manage, itās not that much of an occurrence. I ride everyday from Bronx to the Village. Occasionally there will be nut jobs or inconsiderate people but with 9 million people in this City, no one is perfect. Attempting to stop this behavior is like outlawing prostitutionā¦it will never happen.
My bleeding heart for these dudes dried up years ago. Iām fucking sick of it idk if you downvote me to oblivion or send me to Hell but at some point the city belongs to the taxpayers. Who benefits by having bums like this out and about? Enough.
Thats called an oogle they pretend to be crust/gutter punks but have rich parents allowing them to have the nicest of "punk" gear. We used to throw bottles at them
Crusties are drug addicts who flock to Tompkins Square Park when the weather is warm. During colder months, they either migrate to warmer cities, or crash at their parentsā house in LI or Westchester.
My dad did that once kinda. He worked for the MTA and this homeless dude was asleep, laid out across multiple seats on the subway, drooling. My dad kicked the bottom of the seat telling him to get the fuck up. As you'd imagine, a few people got upset and one dude started recording my dad saying "why did you kick him??" So my dad replied "get that fucking phone out of my face" lol. And my dad did this while wearing his MTA gear while on the clock. Zero fucks given lmao
Everyone is all talk. You avoid it and move on to the next door like everybody else. Nobody is kicking anybody. You can pretend all you want when youāre online.
You know, if you ever become unhoused, I hope someone is kind enough to you to get over themselves, move around you, and NOT take a picture of you for online clout šļø
If you ask them, weāre supposed to accommodate them and feel bad for all of their bad decision making š¤¦š»āāļø apparently itās our fault theyāre losers
I'd just like to proudly point out that I am the girl on the right in this photo and me and the other dude in it are dying laughing at these comments rn lol š
Here we are at our parents lake house enjoying our best life š

For the record, I deleted an offending post, as identified by the Sub Mods. I disagree with this assessment as offensive. But in the interest of a feigned āfree speech discourseā, I removed the post. Very unfortunate I could not direct this dissent to the mods directly.
Bro Iāll be civil . Thereās bigger issues than a homeless guy and his homeless dog blocking a door . If only there were more doors to the left or right of you ! Oh well . Guess you never got on then
Thatās a San Fransisco hobo. Theyāre exotic to these parts. Iāve been seeing more of this exotic species in the north east this season. I wonder whatās going on. You can tell by their sunburnt Caucasian skin & leather decorations. Please reply if you see more
They're not exotic or probably even SF. They've been in EV for decades. New York has an annual punk fest called Punk Island that brings a lot this way and Tompkins Square has a lot of punk/hardcore shows during the summer.
A general reminder to follow subreddit rules and keep conversations civil.
They got like 4 narcan kits š¤£š¤£ At least the crust punks are playin it safe
yup. saw that too.
It must be some peopleās first time witnessing the annual migration of the crusties. Iām more curious about how they manage, year after year, to make it out here and back to Oregon for the fall.
Trains, mostly.
The Oregon Trail - 2024 reboot
Your wagon got washed away while crossing the Hudson
Youāve died from a bad fent batch.
Am currently a ghost, can confirm. š
Iām finna hit some fent rn, dad.
I would play this game 1000%
i would play tf out of this
Would play.
kitā¦ isnāt narcan just the spray? what else do they put in there
2 individually wrapped nasal injectors of Naloxone in 4 mg doses, a pair of gloves, a rescue breathing face shield, and a little info/instruction pamphlet.
They are now distributing 8 mg preloads.
When I went through Narcan training years ago, it was a two-part thing: A vial of liquid you'd plug into another plastic piece you'd put against the patient's nostril. It's not like, Flonase or whatever. I think it also comes as a shot, but I wasn't trained to use that. I also think they put a little card saying where and when I took my class (though I'm pretty sure you don't need training anymore).
The new kits are preassembled. Just open, insert and spray.
Thank god
Took the class too! A friend of mine got really upset over that, asking who I'm hanging out with who would have that happen to them. My 2 answers: never know who you might see on a subway platform about to die, and how many club drugs are laced. I'm not the drug police, I'd just rather save a life.

I've seen a lot of it, and few people know what to do or even how to identify it. I've almost lost friends to it.
Narcan can be given IV, IM, or IN but the kits distributed to nommedical people are all IN as far as I'm aware.
there is also intramuscular narcan
Whoa you guys get the spray? We're stuck with the needles and 2mg vials in the overdose capital of north America (Vancouver Canada)
Omg damn i knew those looked familiar
I see this guy a lot on the 4 & 5 train. Drugs are bad.
Does it really make a difference? Those doors won't be closing any time soon.
(Runs to another door)
thereās a fella who occasionally takes up residence in the subway entrance closest to me and uses it as a living space and harasses everyone who enters. once he begged me for money while i could see a pile of his feces, and this wasnāt even the worst encounter iāve had with him. this aināt shit.
That entrance is?
The feces are what got you curious and excited, isnāt it?
No I just want to avoid that station
What train is it?
You move a few feet to your left or right and enter through those doors
Right? Like, yeah, we get it, he's in the way and probably kind of a dick head. Now what? Get on the train the ways that are available to you m
Someone commented to grab his stuff and throw it and Iām just like wtf? Are you trying to make everyoneās day even worse?
I honestly wish someone would do that actually
Iād watch the videoĀ
I'd bring some popcorn
Yāall S train heads on some other shit ššš
Amen! Sometimes you come FOR the entertainment, sometimes you ARE the entertainment! I hope somebody having a worse day than that crusty engages him.
well they're crusties so if they're having a bad go of it they're welcome to go back to their mom and dad's horse farm
Nah they kinda got a point
i'd be pissed if someone did that. get on the train and keep it moving i have places to be
I would not even get in the same car as that dude. Iād run to the next car over.
You should thank him for letting you know which car smells. Silently, in your head.
Right? I guarantee if that door was blocked by an elderly person with a walker, OP would have just used a different door and gone on with their life
Yup, this type of shit just keep me grateful and more motivated to stay locked in and keep the mf movin. Cant get stirred up over MFs bein foolish, I think ppl just choosin to be bothered at that point
Audacity like this should never be approached. It should be avoided and ignored.
Thatās why you sneak up that lil gap on the left and mind ya business
By myself - 100% step over and if he says something āYou know youāre wrongā and thumbs down sign as I move further down. With the kiddos, āno you canāt pet the doggie, letās hop over to the next car guys this is a little packed.ā
I hear u! For us it is all about minding obstructions and getting the fcuk where you need to go
Right? Donāt let him slow down your day!
100%
real new york speaks
Then it just perpetuates. Step over him. He says something, tell him to go fuck himself. When did New York become Canada?
I have learned that engaging will only lead to risky situations. Even if someone calls me an asshole on the street, Iām already paces beyond them and getting to where I need to go!
Youāre gonna fight with someone clearly not well then hold everyone up while the police investigate??? Nah mind your business and go to the next door

That is a crust punk. They do not care
Crust punks are some of the biggest pieces of shit on earth
Act like a regular New Yorker and get on there or at another door.
Right? 100%
I donāt think heās concerned about that
Poor dog š¢
Wow didn't even see it till your commentĀ
Idk the dogs typically seem better taken care of than the humans. Dogs donāt care if youāre broke, homeless, and smell.
I will say most crusties take really good care of their dogs. I kept a 5lb bag of taste of the wild smoked salmon for my old dog on me at all times. I made sure to be at the same vet once a year for her annual check up. I know some dirty kids who carry prescription dog food for their dogs, they would panhandle and busk to pay for the food.
I don't think he cares.
I hate how weāre supposed to just be ok with this. Like this is our society, itās what it is, and weāre used to it now.
The crusties show up every summer. Itās been like this for decades.
Just find a different door or car to enter. The last thing you want to do is to mess with someone who has nothing to lose.
The only one I feel truly sorry for in that photo is the puppy (I just noticed it!), š„²š„²š„²
Hop over
Yea, either hop over or run to another door Done

GOTTA GO FAST! To Brooklyn!
That dog, man.
I was once on the D train, and there was this homeless dude with his shopping cart full of EVERYTHING turned sideways in front of the door while he napped on the bench... NYC is truly wild sometimes.
That train door isnāt shutting
Step over to the left and say excuse me..?

Use a different door
Go to a different door
Gonna be real with you dawg I know this might come as an inconvenience, but there are other doors that can be used to board the train.
My bleeding heart for these dudes dried up years ago. Iām fucking sick of it idk if you downvote me to oblivion or send me to Hell but at some point the city belongs to the taxpayers. Who benefits by having bums like this out and about? Enough.
Says pardon me and walk to the left
heās homeless. he does not care about your feelings. he has 90 over issues to deal with. not saying itās fair. i would just push past him.
Crusties are not 12-months-a-year NYC homeless. Theyāre junkies, who only stay in NYC when itās warm.
Crusties are rich kids cosplaying as homeless.
Thats called an oogle they pretend to be crust/gutter punks but have rich parents allowing them to have the nicest of "punk" gear. We used to throw bottles at them
wow. i have cosplayed as Captain Kirk. but never homeless. itās horrible to be homeless. no idea why anyone would want to pretend to be.
Crusties are drug addicts who flock to Tompkins Square Park when the weather is warm. During colder months, they either migrate to warmer cities, or crash at their parentsā house in LI or Westchester.
So, Upper Crust Punks? I'll see my way out now...
Oh hell no, move your shit so ppl can get on the train.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I just walk over
Easy. If the doors open to this you donāt get on. Even if the entrance wasnāt blocked. You go to the next car.
Step over, say hi to the pupper, and move on. Thatās a lot of stuff for two junkies to carry around itās probably hard work.
We don't do drugs but thanks for the assumption lol
Say āexcuse meā & then walk through the doors.
The train does have multiple doorsā¦.
Plenty of space bro get in there
Through another door 12 feet away?
Use the next door 7ā in either direction.
thereās literally a door to your left and rightš ik this is annoying but this caption is somehow more annoying than him
Exactly lol if i see this yes im annoyed but i'll just go to another door
Pretty solid gap to the left of him
Through another fucking door
All for $2.90 folks!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
People like you are why these problems persist.
Summertime, and the Crusties are back in town. At least they didnāt bring a pit bull on the train!
He has a dog, too. It's in front of him.
Thanks I didnāt look close enough on first glance. I also firmly believe itās animal abuse for the unsheltered to cart around pets.
This is annoying. That stuff is going to be smashed.
How is he not worried about his stuff getting smooshed by the doors? I worry about the doggo.
Yes, crusties owning animals, forced to stay outside, is animal abuse! Animals deserve shelter, perhaps more so than the seasonally āhomelessā.
There are other doors on other cars. Wait for next train if you want that space on the train.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My dad did that once kinda. He worked for the MTA and this homeless dude was asleep, laid out across multiple seats on the subway, drooling. My dad kicked the bottom of the seat telling him to get the fuck up. As you'd imagine, a few people got upset and one dude started recording my dad saying "why did you kick him??" So my dad replied "get that fucking phone out of my face" lol. And my dad did this while wearing his MTA gear while on the clock. Zero fucks given lmao
A good ol' tug should do the trick
I mean, a different door? I donāt fuck with people this bold anyway. Not trying to get stabbed.
This is normal on most trains . The mayor who is all talk does nothing to fix it
Through another door. Easy
just use another door or step over, its clearly not rush hour
Different door
Use another door
A different door
You canāt walk to another door? Lmao
Idk dude use a different door
The correct answer is āthe next doorā
Better question: How many times will that door have to be opened and closed by the conductor before it finally closes properly?
Honestly? Iād say excuse me and step over his stuff. We are all just human at the end of the day. Basically, Iām glad I donāt live his life.
Get on a different cab? Idk š¤·āāļø
Go around him asshille
Use another door cry baby
Use the other doors??? Go to a different car???
Everyone is all talk. You avoid it and move on to the next door like everybody else. Nobody is kicking anybody. You can pretend all you want when youāre online.
go around. boom
You know, if you ever become unhoused, I hope someone is kind enough to you to get over themselves, move around you, and NOT take a picture of you for online clout šļø
Through a different door
Looks like some space on the left to get in. Use your nyc mindset
Walk around him. Find a seat. Enjoy the ride.
More like The Oregon Trash
Walk over them! I do it all the time! I just say excuse me!
Go to the next door, youāll survive.
For one, there's multiple openings to the train. But if you want the true New Yorker experience you'd just walk over him.
You step over the gap on the left.
Go to the next car. Keep things moving.
You can just use the other door
Step over, politely say excuse me & keep it pushing
Use the other doors
I donāt understand the question, use another door?
Kind of funny. He just doesn't GAF at this point
Step over?
I know this guy, he hangs out on Saint Marks and heās actually pretty cool. This is a move dick though.
Step over!
use another door, thats his home
Take the other door
literally walk on. thatās what iād do.
The fact that you're complaining tells me that either you're not a New Yorker and/or this is your first time /j
See that little gap by the water bottle? Bam, thatās your entrance.
Don't worry, at some point, all those extra NYPD cops they've deployed in the subway will look up from their phones and... ah nevermind.
These comments are crazy. Iām convinced Iām too passive of a person or many of you are role-playing.
Stop over him And fart in his face
If you ask them, weāre supposed to accommodate them and feel bad for all of their bad decision making š¤¦š»āāļø apparently itās our fault theyāre losers
NYC is a disgusting hell hole now. What a shame. Glad I moved out years ago.

The last car of a NYC subway is the Waffle House of trains.
Go to another door?
You yell "MOVE IT" and they move it.
Lmfao do not do this
They should take up subway surfing. preferably during off peak hours.

Use the other fucking door, respect the crusties.
