Yesterday, I was walking with my 3 yo son on the UES, near mad and 65th, and this lady makes this hand movementlike "get away from me" as my son and I walk passed. I really doubted this, and, as it seemed she was saying "first," i assumed she was confused and lost and looking for 1st avenue, rather than being mean. So I said the her "First avenue is that way" pointing. She again makes this movement for us to get out of her line of sight with this disgusted look on her face, to which I said, "I don;t know why I helped you, you are so unpleasant" and walked away. TO which she started screaming "FU*KING B*TCH, FU*KING B*TCH," down the block at me in this thick french accent.I know my part is that I engaged her, and I shouldn't have, but dayum! She was even dressed like this UES matron. really strange. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Eh. Nutty people all over. Last year, we were walking on third near Gracious Home. Guy ran up behind my dh (who was holding then 5 yo dd's hand) and screamed "child molester! Child molester". Tried to take a SWING at dh, too. We split up and dh followed guy (had called the police) as he pissed on every second car for the next 10 blocks. Cops, of course, didn't show. Also, I was recently walking in CP with my 2 yo dd and crazy guy said "you made it, don't molest it". Life in the city. [ Reply | More

Perhaps she had Tourette's and she knew she was about to spew profanities at you and your child which was why she was motioning for you to get out of the way. I've heard that these outbursts are very difficult to control but the people know when they're about to go off and try various methods to control them, which don't always work. My favorite was the guy who was compelled to yell the dreaded N word whenever he saw a person of color but had trained himself to say "nickles dimes quarters" in it's place. [ Reply | More
