More Etiquette Rules for New Yorkers to Follow!
Artist Jason Shelowitz (a.k.a. Jayshells) made a name for himself last April when his super rad Subway Etiquette posters popped up around town. The guerrilla marketing campaign didn't make the MTA too happy, as they quickly removed the 600+ posters around the city (our personal favorite? this one against nail clipping). The posters eventually resufaced on Jayshells' Etsy page, at $75 a pop.
Now, Jason Shelowitz is back -- this time taking his clever etiquette messages above ground. Four brand new signs hit the streets of NYC this weekend: the "Pay Attention While Walking (Your Facebook Status Update Can Wait)" pictured above, and the three beauties below: "Don't Flick Your Butts On the Ground (Put Them Out And Throw Them In The Trash)," "Pull Up Your Pants (No One Wants To See Your Underwear)," and "Clean Up After Your Horse" (one we think the NYPD should love). Pretty cool, huh?
Obviously, Jayshells needs to make some of these for Park Slope. But I don't often see horses running 'round these parts. Those Coop Walkers on the other hand? I can't seem to avoid them. So I have to ask: what should Park Slope Etiquette Rules look like? I'll start us off with some recommendations from me and other FiPS writers:
DAVE
- PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG (No one likes stepping in shit)
- DON'T RIDE YOUR BIKE ON THE SIDEWALK (I don't care if you're a delivery man)
ERICA
- SLOW THE FUCK DOWN, KID (scooters can kill too)
- YOUR DOG IS NOT AS CUTE AS MINE (sorry)
- DON'T THROW YOUR DOG SHIT IN SOMEONE ELSE'S GARBAGE (It will make them SUPER angry)
VEE
- DON'T BREASTFEED AT BRUNCH
- STROLLERS ARE NOT WHEELCHAIRS (you don't get to cut in line)
