I Like My Shoulders Condom-Free, Thank You Very Much
Usually, I write about cutesy stories or recant horrible ex-boyfriend tales. But right now I will do neither. I am extremely angry as I sit on this NYC train writing this post. And no, fans... it's not about "dating" per se; but it is about something that you need to have in order to date. This post is about human decency and the lack of it I am constantly seeing on a day-to-day basis in teenagers and young adults (hell, everyone) these days.I just saw a group of rowdy teenagers or early twenty-somethings hanging from the bars of this train. They were yelling things and making a video using one of their cell phones. All of a sudden, I saw that something had dropped onto the floor of the train – some sort of rubbery or plastic item. When I saw what it was, my face cringed in utter disgust.
I was staring at a seemingly used condom. One of guys laughed, hit his friend's arm, and whispered something in his ear. The condom was swooped up a second later and put (I thought) in his pocket. As the old woman I was having a conversation with turned away from me to face them with disapproval, I saw that the really beautiful African American girl sitting across from me looked extremely agitated all of a sudden.
"How dare you do that to a poor, innocent sleeping man. If he was someone else, you sure as hell wouldn't have done it. Would you? Would you?"
I couldn't understand why she was yelling at them or who she was referring to. My eyes wandered from guy to guy, to her, and then to who she was pointing at. That's when I saw it. Again. The jerks had put the aforementioned used condom on some poor innocent bystander's shoulder. What's worse is that he was sleeping and had headphones on and had no idea.
The guy was a chubby punkish person, with a reddish beard and all black clothing. He looked so peaceful sleeping there that I just couldn't imagine him waking up and winning any fight these assholes would pick. And that is exactly why they chose to torture him. The girl threatened to have the guys jumped when they got off the train, and they were all gone by the next stop.
The poor man who was completely unaware of the condom on his shoulder looked around the train calmly. I didn't know what to do. I handed him the two napkins I had in my hand and he took them, peering at me with confused eyes.
I slowly pointed to my shoulder and looked at his.
He looked down slowly, shook his head even more slowly, and used my napkins to remove it.
"Thank you," he said, pitifully, still shaking his head, and closed his eyes once again in defeat.
My heart literally broke in half for him. I could not believe that people could be so cruel.
If it was done to me I probably would have passed out (I have a phobia of diseases). But this man was calm and collected. He was simply sad. And that made me even sadder.
The last time I was this upset about a train incident was when one of my best friends told me that people were openly and loudly discussing how ugly they thought her chihuahua was – her chihuahua who had just had surgery to remove her infected eye and was dealing with enough stress and pain not to have to be ridiculed by complete strangers. (Yes, I believe pets have feelings and if you don't then you have no soul.)
Who are these pathetic excuses for human beings that they think they have the right to attack and abuse (physically or verbally) innocent people and animals on trains?
As upset as I am right now, this got me thinking. I am genuinely happy that I can be your idol to hate, and that you have me to channel all of your feelings of animosity toward...because I can't watch this kind of stuff happen on trains anymore. Maybe these horrible train-riders should start reading my blogs and alleviate some of their pain, and it will cause them to become happier and more content in real life, perhaps stopping them from laughing at dogs or possibly putting AIDS-infected condoms on human fucking beings.
So remember, I know it's super fun to try and upset me and bring me down via Internet, but I certainly hope you don't take this anger past that. Because even though I am wonderfully confident and untouchable, it is important to remember that not everyone is me. Which I'm sure you've already figured out by now. So don't hurt anyone's feelings, fans, okay? Thanks, my dear multitude of loving Jenngans.Have you ever seen anyone act horribly to a stranger? Was that person your boyfriend or girlfriend? What happened?

- About Me: I have been on more bad dates than I have fingers and toes to count on -- and I'm only in my early twenties! I laugh when I watch 'Sex & the City,' because I've had so many dysfunctional relationships that they might as well as made me their 5th friend. Even so, I used to love going on dates with different guys (now I only let one guy take me out on dates), eating great food, and talking on the phone until 3AM. I never did get over the idea that a guy should treat a girl like a princess -- even if I've encountered one too many frogs.

horrible. hopefully karma plays it's role
You seem to have an obsession with talking about your haters. Why don't you actually acknowledge the selected few that mindlessly like you? LOL. I find it funny that you have your "fandom" that will write long hypocritical blogs defending you and you don't even acknowledge them at all as much as you acknowledge the people who dislike you yet you're still set on justifying your horrible self to the haters.
You're cruel to strangers, too. You write blogs about pointing random people out rating them as if you were some super model judge and that's being rude. Who are you to call other people rude when you rate people and you call people butter faces, too? You also bash high school has been queen bee's pregnant women to be fat...when duh, they're pregnant.
Ew, used condoms. Those kids needed to get jumped by that black girl's friends.
Hole-ee crap. I had the briefest glimpse at an emotion in there.
Ever think that if people read some of the things you write about them they would be ...sad? We could work with this! Next time you write something you can play the "how would I feel if this was done/said to a stranger (or chihuahua...) on a train" game. Good luck.
horrible teenagers.
but i think the black girl exaggerate a little bit too. have them "jumped"? I dont think these are the words you should use lightly to threaten people... You can report them yes, but don't have them "jumped"
that's a bit too much in my opinion.
@shimmers - Why don't you go and complain on the internet!
wait...you did !
feel better?
now maybe you'll be able to have an orgasm...
because you ain't having any all pissed off all the time.
Did you just compare getting negative feedback for your shallow posts to getting a used condom put on your shoulder while you were sleeping? And you consider yourself a an innocent victim.....completely surprised by negative reactions to your articles? And of course people don't like your articles.....not because they suck....but because the people that don't like your articles are actually people that live miserable lives and can only get through the day by directing their rage at sweet innocent Datingish interns?
..........HAHAHAHAAHAHHHAAHahahaaahahahaaa!
Oh man, that is classic. Haha, if that's the case, you must feel REALLY great about yourself and the critical role you play as society's punching bag when you watch the evening news. "Gee, if only that murderer/rapist could have vented at me on my Datingish articles...then maybe he wouldn't.......oh...that cop is kind of cute. I would totally let him kiss me!" Haha, I can't believe when you see something bad happen to someone, you immediately think of how you are a "victim" of hate on Xanga. Haha.....so ridiculous I don't even know what to think of it.
You can now add DELUSIONAL to the long list of reasons why people dislike you and your articles. Not only are you shallow, conceited, selfish, hypocritical, and a liar....but it seems you've now completely lost touch with reality. Anyways, while the few posts I've read of yours normally makes me want to facepalm myself about 17 consecutive times....I have to thank you since this post gave me a good laugh.
(Whew, I'm really glad I got that out of my system.....otherwise, due to my evil and hateful nature, I might have driven over to a nursing home to beat up on the elderly.)
Yeah, that's sad that stuff like that happens. People are mean and crazy. Holy cow.
But, I also found this post kind of funny (I can see the humor).
"Thanks, my dear multitude of loving Jenngans."
bahaha... Good one!
oh my goodness, i'd feel so bad. my heart would probably break too! :c
those douchebags probably haven't seen the brave one movie where jodie foster popped some capz in the bullies chest for messing with her. I don't think bullies will stop until they are put in their place when they mess with the wrong person
that movie was amazing
my comment is to praise my favorite actress, jodie foster
ttfn.
Ugh. People fucking suck.
So many blogs by you and you're still only mainly acknowledging your haters, not the few who think you're "witty" lol. interesting.
well then, that's new york city's mta for you.
that's awful for the poor guy.
and this post surprised me with its humanism until i got near the end, and you made it about yourself. you are hardly anyone's martyr.
Yeah it's terrible. Just imagine if that poor guy had had to deal with an unattractive flight attendant. Who knows what would have happened. Or he might date a girl who cheats on him and then starts dating his best friend. Or he might innocently go on a date with a girl who flips out because he called her cute instead of pretty.
It's too bad those situations can't be cleaned up with a couple napkins.
are you vegetarian? because if not, you need to shut the fuck up about pets having feelings etc. (and if you are, then kudos to you.)
@MissPixieGlitter@xanga - why do i always love your comments? :)
@thisiswhereItellyoueverything@xanga -@MissPixieGlitter@xanga - @wizexel22@xanga - Best comments so far:)
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - why thanks! i enjoy yours as well. :D
@lforletty@xanga - thank you. :)
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - "are you vegetarian? because if not, you need to shut the fuck up about pets having feelings etc."
You're stupid as fuck for that, just so you know.
I was really digging this entry. Then I got to the bottom and it wasn't about the condom victim anymore. Those kids weren't taking out their frustration on the sleeping man; what they did was purely evil and horrifying. Your commenters are vicious at times, but they are nothing like those people. They don't spend their day in agony, hating on innocent people because of some offensive writer on Datingish. They read, they rant on their blog, they shove it aside, and then they figure out what genre of porn they're in the mood for.
I get where you were trying to go with the whole "keep your emotions in check" thing, but you missed the mark completely, and you don't make a good martyr. You were tugging at my heartstrings there and for a moment, I was pretty proud of you. Now all I'm left with is a bad taste in my mouth probably akin to what was inside that wrapper.
@LoveeLikeASunset@xanga - great argument. i had a reason for saying what i did. maybe you should try doing the same next time.
after enduring carlypaige's posts for a long, long while, i actually kind of.. like you now. hah
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - Well were you trying to say that non-vegetarians are hypocrites for caring about animals? Because it sure came off that way. If that's not what you meant....I'd say "oops my mistake" but you should've been more specific :)
@LoveeLikeASunset@xanga - no, you're right, that's exactly what i meant.
