Sunday afternoon I encountered the most self important, self entitled, cocky, arrogant, egotistical, douchiest person in NYC!
Hard to believe, but I believe that I have.
She and her quiet friend who appeared to have gotten dragged along with her happened to get into some self portraits that I was taking at Citi Field.
The douchiest person that I’m talking about is the chick wearing blue who has the hairy arms and sideburns…

The quiet friend who appeared to have been dragged along is the young woman with the sunglasses directly over my shoulder.

Sideburns revealed herself as the douchiest person in NYC with the following…
Everyone was at Citi Field this past Sunday for the Mets last preseason workout and to checkout Citi Field. No tickets had assigned seating and it was first come first serve as far as seating went.
Seeing as how I was in line before the gates opened I wound up with a seat in the 3rd row behind the visiting team dugout.
Most people were crowded around the lower areas and players were coming by to give out autographs. People were giving one another their personal space and respecting personal space of person/seat ratio as well as allowing people to gain quick access for an autograph – said autograph seekers would then go back to their seat.
About halfway through the workout Sideburns and her friend squeezed in between everyone in my row and their seats – without saying excuse or pardons, Sideburns preferred what felt like slight shoulder bumps instead. This happened to that they could stand directly next to and behind me – effectively invading the same exact row and seat that I was in.
Like, for realz yo, touching my arms with her centipede-like arm hair while her friend was standing on my jacket and against my seat – Sideburns was also standing partially in front of the young girl next to me who was standing on a seat in order to see.
While Citi Field has more leg room for fans at each seat, these new seats weren’t built for four people to stand in less than six square feet for an extended amount of time.
I gave them several minutes to either get an autograph, a photo or keep moving.
After several minutes of them just standing there it became apparent that they were going to stay up against and behind me without moving along, so I politely asked for my personal space back – after all this is still NYC and strange people right up against and behind the person and personal property isn’t cool.
After questioning my question I was eventually given even more of a passive aggressive reply back that essentially included a “Why don’t you pick my friend up so that she can get closer?” “We’re not standing here we’re walking through” and the best quote word for word… “Just deal with it.”
To which I held a beat before responding with, “I asked nicely.”
And received the reply back of “And you got a nice reply back.”
Which allowed me to call her out with “Actually you answered me quite passive aggressively.”
This caused her brain to explode upon itself and she had no reply, so I then took some self portraits that highlight my complete annoyance at Sideburns and her quiet friend.
They then promptly moved along and weren’t seen in the general area for the rest of the day.
They didn’t try to get closer to the field at all – perhaps Sideburns really isn’t a hairy woman at all…maybe she is actually a woman with alopecia and was in disguise while she and her innocent looking friend hiding behind sunglasses tried to steal my wallet?
Perhaps…either way, God Bless self portraits and the power of the blog!
