The 9 Types Of People You'll Find At Penn Station

Penn Station is a special place. Thousands of people, from all different walks of life are together, walking through the same place heading to tons of different locations. It's very easy to categorize these types of people because although we are all different, we can be distinguished among the crowd.


1. The Beggar

They'll try to trick little kids into giving them their spare change so they can buy those drugs they wanted...or did they claim that was for a train ticket? The worst part is we'll never really know what they're buying with that money.

2. The Marathon Runner

They're either missing their train or they like to run through Penn Station. Probably the first option. Move out of the way for them though if you want to avoid being trampled.

3. The One in a Rush

This person is a little bit different. They're not running because they missed their train, they're just very impatient and they get joy out of passing people slower than them. I am guilty of this.

4. The Cozy Traveler

They're patiently waiting for their train, and they don't mind sitting on the floor of Penn Station one bit. You'll catch them napping against the wall as they wait for their upcoming train.

5. The Foodie

Penn Station has some pretty good eats (Shake Shack, Moes, Krispy Kreme), so it's not surprising that this type of traveler exists. They will end up bringing the leftovers on the train with them.

6. The New Yorker

They know exactly what they're doing. They know exactly where they're going. Usually dressed in business clothes with their iPhone glued to their ear as they take a call. They don't care about anything else around them, especially slow walkers.

7. The Tourist

Their most common accessory: a very confused look on their face. They're usually walking in circles completely unaware of anything as they let people around them zoom by and if they get up the courage, they might ask you LOTS of questions.

8. The Party Animals

Usually coming from night out in the city to catch the last train. Or they just arrived to Penn Station after pre-gaming during the entire train ride there. Either way, they're dressed in little clothing and don't care about their public displays of intoxication.

9. The Musician

Usually, it's a guitarist, singer or violinist, but regardless of the instrument, they're always there at some point. Usually, they're not too bad.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
