NYPD Woes

New Yorker spend a lot of time on public transportation. Those of us who remember pre-yuppified NYC also remember when only half of the train car doors opened, yet entry was cheaper, tokens were a thing, and there were few delays. Now, we pay less for more. Being in NYC, even if you're born here is becoming increasingly stressful. Which was why I wasn't surprised when I found this on a bus up in Woodside this past Thursday.

Not surprised people are taking out their frustration on a hot button issue that's been prevalent in many urban neighborhoods in recent years. I'm going to be on the look out for other aspects of commuter frustration as well. 

If you're on the look out for wall writing....or just writing that isn't on paper or in a book...send it along. Post it on Instagram or Twitter using the #wallprophecies hashtag and I'll definitely repost on my own social media, and put a compilation on a blog post :)

Until Next Time! 

Trolling the Interwebs

I like trolling around social media sites like Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram for wall writings and also to verify that I am not the only person who has a fixation with the things people write on bathroom stalls and random walls. If anything, my fixation can be seen as respect for their creativity, and respect for the fact that someone took the time out to write something on a wall while they were doing their business on the toilet.

I also find it fascinating that people have taken the time out to post not just anything, but something meaningful. And due to my fascination with meaningful words, I was just looking at some pictures on Twitter and came across these awesome posts. These had to be my favorite wall writings this week:
