I have started muttering at strangers on the street.
Oh god, I do that all the time. Of course, I also mutter at myself.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Chances are you are grabbing onto something much more sinister than popsicle sticky.
Ew.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Ah, yes, the "get off the escalator and come to a complete stop" crowd. Which is why my recommendation for getting to the Mall includes "go up the escalator, take a couple of steps, and turn around" for the view of the Monument.
"We're going to walk four abreast, we don't care if we're taking up the whole sidewalk" is starting to be met with elbows. They're the sort of people that I want to give directions to with, "Get on the Capitol Beltway, and keep going until you reach the Capitol."

Baby New Year was mentioned on the radio, somewhere. I can't remember where, though.

Oy. Now I'm totally squicked. Fortunately, the Metro is way, way cleaner than most public transit I've taken.

Ah, deliberately giving bad directions to people who so richly deserve it. Quite satisfying.

OMG, that would be hilarious.
There was a funny NYOverheard recently with a tourist wondering why the Roosevelt Ave subway station wasn't the same as Roosevelt Island, and disbelieving anyone's answer until someone said, "Yes, you're on Roosevelt Island now." Which she wasn't.

And yet, I have fewer problems with people eating or drinking on Metro as long as they're neat about it. But then, few things bother me more than squalling youngster. (Note: I generally give parents a pass on that if they're trying to calm the youngster.)

Ranks right up there with telling annoying single women to head to Dupont Circle because they can find many attractive unmarried men there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
If I remember correctly, ND once gave directions to some tourists when he was in Hollywood.
They wanted to get to DisneyWorld. He pointed down Highland and said, take that street and follow the signs.
