(TikTok screencap)
Look, she won the argument she created in her head!
It’s a common conversation though. I live in a big city and people who live in rural areas say this to me all the time. I just shrug my shoulders and say, “ya, good, live where makes you happy.”
I totally believe the part about people commenting “I could never live in X place” unprompted and I’m all for people living wherever makes them happy!
It’s the rest of the post that reads like someone trying to think of a clever comeback in their shower hours after the conversation already ended.
Yep live where you like.
. I hate living in the city. I walk. ALOT. I love walking in my rural area, fishing, camping, engaging with neigbors and meeting the lady downtown street who makes gluten free cupcakes ( amazing).
Its what i like
I know people who rave about the things they can do that I can’t. And I love how happy they are living where they love
People need nature, and they need each other. So live where your needs are met the. Most and stay happy.
Your attitude is best. Let’s all be happy for those who can live where they love. Because Many can’t.
All of those shampoo bottles were WRONG!

Look, I found the losers who say shit like “I could never live in NYC”!
Cool, I bet you blew their feeble little peasant minds with pictures of your special subway chair.
I wish my city had half the transportation of New York.
I would take half the restaurants.
Ah, I see what you did there…
Wish granted, you have all the cars, but no trains or buses.
When you nutted but she still sucking
Reddit ass comment

While I enjoy your use of reddit as a pejorative, ass will always be high prise for me, so thank you.
I guess I don’t understand the reference. How else are you going to get something you bought back to your place? This doesn’t seem weird. I’m not in or from, and have never been to, NYC though, so I’m probably missing something lol
Its an infrequent question you get if you dont own a car in the US. With mass transit generally being shit everywhere, but slightly less shit in cities, people who dont live in cities think moving things around is impossible, because a car is the only possibility that they are personally acquainted with.
Its not impossible, just vaguely awkward sometimes as this meme shows, which is a solid tradeoff for not having to deal with all the bullshit owning a car entails.
I mean it’s awkward if you’re moving a chair. Moving house though can be a real pain if you’re not paying for movers.
I think the association here is more “you barely even walk into Walmart, I carry my house with my own legs when move.”
Ive rolled a queen bed from house to house on a dolley before, along with many other things. Pulled my old couch to the same house on its one good rolling wheel. The grand old “5 block city move.” It wouldn’t be realistic to do outside of a city, but it also took some real grit and just embracing the stupid to do there.
The fun part? Several people honked and waved, while others offered to help. People loved seeing someone just hulking that shit down the road. One of those nice “city people” moments.
I think your summation of the sass is better than mine, to be sure.
My ex made me carry a window unit air conditioner someone was throwing away to the subway, take two trains then carry it home. She was visiting from New Orleans and didn’t believe me when I said people leave shit like that on the sidewalk all the time in New York. It was fall. I could very well find another one closer to home.

Says the guy who would get scared by the noise if a squirrel in the woods at night.
Point being. No… You ain’t one for not living in a city, and they ain’t one for not wanting to

I live in NYC and never leave the house now what
Do you just…live chairless?
You can have chairs delivered
What’s the fun in that
Watching others suffer the pain in The ass nanrrow curving stairs of an old brownstone?
( delivered furniture in the city In a past life)
Home installation options I hope
Pregnancy kink.
Well now I’m very confused and curious lol.
Might be a whole world of chairs out there I never knew about.
Sometimes I take a break and catch a seat on the turlet.
I spent dickity years on that terlet
Boom, roasted.
Weirdest thing I’ve brought on public transit:
Agreed, but at least the two chairs you brought provided a nice table for that plant.
My apologies to everyone the one time I needed to get a coffee table to my new apartment on 179st. I was a really broke student and it was too heavy to lug.
One day some lady brought her full grocery store cart she took from No Frills on the bus. I think the driver was just too tired to argue.
Truth be told I think they just let the passengers work it out. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnTGKti2-X0
Okay so I saw someone yesterday also walking home with a chair, but my real question is who the fuck needs just one single dining room chair? Do y’all not have sets?
I mean, I don’t even have a dining room so I guess who am I to talk but it was just confusing to me.
Unless you have an apartment worth a few million, you don’t have room for a whole ass dining set
Would you want to carry an entire dining room set while walking or taking the subway home?
It would be difficult to carry even just two non-folding chairs without inadvertently being an asshole to people around you, unless the sidewalks were dead.
Could you imagine carrying home 3 chairs of a set one-at-a-time and finding out that they just stopped selling that style?
Who says she just has one? She might be taking one chair a day home.
I’d love to work in NYC as a bartender, but it being in the US is a big turnoff
Yes, I concur. Have been coming to the US since 1992, no more. The last time was 2023 and I don’t forsee anytime soon I’ll be returning.
Come to Toronto! It’s like NYC lite
Does that chair have a hole in the center?
How else you going to poop on the subway?
People will find a way.
That’s the bottom of the chair, not a hole
Such a portable toilet might be great for shit posting whilst waiting for the train.
Unfortunately someone needs to photoshop a bit of the background platform colour in there

It doubles as a weapon on the train once the cage match ensues. Most people use folding chairs, but this one isn’t fucking around.
We’re not the same. I like being able to go on a hike after taking 20 steps from my front door. I like hearing and seeing new birds regularly from my window. I like walking my dog without suffocating on the smog of the Manhattan streets.
Not counting nice walks in prospect Park, I can get on the metro north train and go on a variety of hikes. It’s not 20 steps, but I also get all the other benefits of a city.
Also Manhattan isn’t known for smog, and there is a lot more to New York than Manhattan. Go look at like park slope or Astoria
I had to go into CVS to escape the air in Manhattan. Granted I’ve only been to Manhattan and Brooklyn, those are “city” parts, which this post refers to.
That sounds psychosomatic but I’m not a professional. You take care of yourself.
I’m from the country side and I very much like easy access to nature, but New York is a great city, especially with all the parks! The subway is bomb
Yeah, I think you’re being a bit hyperbolic, but I generally agree. I live about an hour from Manhattan (from the Holland, and then another hour to get through lololol), but I’m fifteen minutes from a reservoir that you can hike and boat, fifteen minutes from farms. My town is walkable, and I can walk to a hospital, grocery store, and library in, you guessed it, fifteen minutes. I’m an hour and change from the shore, about the same from the Poconos. I like having access to all the places, but I like to live in suburbia.
