Twice now, either on my way to work or on my way home, I have encountered these orange stickers with ridiculous white power messages (”SAVE EARTH’S MOST ENDANGERED SPECIES: THE WHITE RACE,” and so on) on the walls next to the escalators in the Roosevelt Island subway station. The first time I saw them, my instinct was just to tear them off the wall - but since the only way to reach the wall is to be on the (moving) escalator next to it, this is easier said than done. Putting a sticker up is a much quicker task than scraping it off. Luckily, I carry a small cache of idiot stickers in my bag for just this sort of occasion. I don’t condone defacing subway stations in general, but I also don’t think I’m alone in preferring an idiot sticker to something referring to my fellow RI residents in the most unflattering (and illogical) terms imaginable.
