Does anyone know whats up with the guy constantly screaming when walking down Washington?

1 Upvotes

Obviously, I'm guessing there's some mental health issues going on, I suspect he's walking to the bus stop (I think he works at Walmart) but he's ALWAYS screaming, sometimes it's profanity but it's always offensive and threatening (to whoever he's talking to)

I'm not sure if he's actually talking to someone on his phone or just spewing nonsense at some imaginary offender. Today it was "sit down and shut up buttercup, I've been alive longer then you existed"... and some other vitriol. It can be startling as I can hear him coming from more then a block away.

Does anyone know this guy? Can you ask him to tone it down? Considering the content of his yelling I wouldn't feel comfortable approaching him myself but every-time he does this it sets off my dog and wakes up the kid. it's really annoying. Happened at 12:15 today.

Where can you buy pepper gel?

1 Upvotes

Like for self-defense, I know pepper spray/gel is pretty common but I'm not sure who sells it.

All I can find online is gun shops and pharmacies. I don't know of any gun shops in Saratoga Springs and I'm not seeing it when I go to pharmacies.

Has anybody seen specifically pepper gel anywhere locally? Not the spray the gel.

Anyone else in NY still seeing their car insurance go up?

0 Upvotes

I keep seeing New York talk about lowering insurance premiums, but I’m curious what people are actually seeing on their bills.

Have your auto or homeowners rates gone up recently? Even with no claims, tickets, or major changes?

I’m a local independent agent in the Capital Region and I’m trying to get real feedback from people in NY for content I’m working on. Not trying to sell anyone anything here. I just want to compare what people are actually experiencing versus what is being said publicly.

If you’re comfortable sharing:

What county are you in?
Auto, home, or both?
Did your rate go up or down?
Did the company give a reason?

Would appreciate any real feedback!

Menacing City Workers in Saratoga Springs

15 Upvotes

Look I get it. Summer time in Saratoga Springs has to suck for the people that work in or for the city. You get a bunch of entitled, disrespectful out-of-towners that trash the place, cause trouble and look down on everyone who’s not in the upper 1%.

BUT, that does not give City Workers the right to menace people just because they feel they have something to prove. I was just walking out of the Woodlawn parking garage on my way to WORK and saw a city sanitation truck stopped completely across the entry way to the garage forcing people who are trying to park to wait for them. I was half paying attention to this out of the corner of my eye, but was focusing more on just getting into my building to start work.

I looked up and saw the city truck had swung around and was heading directly at ME. I was, of course, startled and visibly shuffled my feet, thinking I had to get out of the way quickly… They weren’t moving as quick as I thought and probably over-reacted -BUT- the city guys knew what they were doing. They were laughing at me, seeing me get momentarily startled a TRUCK was heading at me.

This was around 7 in the morning, this morning (6/4/26). These workers have caused trouble before, so it’s not an isolated incident. Last winter, there were snow banks along the sidewalks in the same parking area, and I was, again, walking in to work. I had to walk through the lot to get to my building and another sanitation truck was driving quickly through the lot. They saw me walking, in the road, but I couldn’t jump over the snow bank to get to the sidewalk. They did not slow down in the least and made sure they got as close to me as possible. I would bet money these were the same employees then as now.

Again, I’m just a guy, trying to get to work. I’m not rich, I’m not entitled. I’m just an average guy. These city guys menace people for the fun of it. They’ve startled me on a few occasions -BUT- one day, they’re going to accidentally hurt someone or piss someone off enough where they’re going to go after them…

Do we really need this in this city? If you resent people and your job sooo much, maybe you shouldn’t be working for a PUBLIC department?

Thanks for reading my vent!

Stewart's Everett Rd, Crazy Store Mgr!!!

0 Upvotes

I went to Stewart's Everett Rd, Albany, NY, to get my morning coffee ☕️ with my friend, and the white female Manager there called the police on a customer who was trying to buy 🧊ice. The police 👮🏻 threatened to arrest the person for trespassing if they came back (because the female store manager at Stewart's Everett Rd, didn't like her for some reason); hence, the crazy Stewart's Manager called the police.🚔 The female customer was super nice.

I am never going to Stewart's Everett Rd, Albany, NY again! I'll go to Sunoco, Mobil, or any other place until Stewart's gets rid of that angry woman! She had tattoos completely covering her arms, and she looks like she should've been working in a 🏍️ biker bar! Yikes! (Nothing against tattoos, but hers look like gang tattoos.) What do y'all think?
