A lawyer in New York City was snowed under with criticism this week after taking to Twitter to grumble about a person selling food in a public park, with users calling her “petty and vindictive” for calling emergency services on the vendor.
It began with Sonya Shaykhoun, Esq., as her screen name reads, and a Wednesday tweet. “Yesterday I was coming back from tennis in Riverside Park and came upon this ad hoc unlicensed food stand,” she wrote alongside two photos of a pair of women with a table set up along a walking path.
“They were calling out to people to buy from them and I asked them, ‘where’s your permit’ cuz we all know the permit has to be displayed,” Shaykhoum continued, alleging that one of the women then “got belligerent and started filming me and refused to show me her permit.” “I called her a name,” the lawyer added, without specifying what word she’d used. “Then I called 911.” She implied she’d been put in touch with the NYPD, who she said did not follow up on the case with her.
“We have beautiful parks, if you see ppl [sic] defacing them by setting up illegal stands, call the police,” Shaykhoum said. “Time to take back out beautiful City.” Rather than respond to her call, the replies to her tweet—many of them from self-professed New Yorkers—were by turn mocking, scathing, and despairing. As the responses piled up, the tweet quickly went viral, accruing more than four million views and 6,000 replies by Thursday evening., “Here’s a wild take: Leave people alone, strangers don’t owe you anything, purchase something or keep it moving.”
