I’d be quite happy to just be a hermit. The Fiance and I went to MOMA today. OH MY GAWD. People really are just disgusting. We toured the pre-fab home exhibit. I liked the Katrina house the best, the others just felt too rickety to me – sort of like concert stages. Anyway, we later went into the Lustron house and I was stunned/shocked and paralyzed. I watched a woman stand in the middle of the house that was on exhibit…blow her nose…then put the snotty rag INTO A DRAWER in the KITCHEN of the HOUSE THAT WAS ON EXHIBIT IN A MUESEUM. Oh My FreAKEn God. It’s a Lustron House IN A MUSEUM…it’s NOT your bathroom.
I hate people. I really do. It’s a MUSEUM not your backyard. Check out this dude…SLEEPING with his SHOES OFF in the middle of the museum…I wanted to kick his shoes under the chair so that he wouldn’t be able to find them when he finally woke up. Disgusting.
look..there’s more…right next to him…
The Fiance spends a few hours everyday in various museums and he gets to see this carp constantly. I don’t think I could bear it, I’d start making citizen arrests and hauling people to Manners Court.
It wasn’t a total waste though, I loved the Lustron house (sans snot rag lady) and the Fiance bought me a house…think I’ll get some sand and build my very own beach house!
OMG! I always feel a really good SLAP upside the head would wake (no pun intended) these people up from their vulgarity. Actually what I like to do, in situations like all of these, is in a high voice say EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME…then “ever so politely” point out their faux pas. But thank you, I always thought it was just me and my so many issues.
We are going this week. I will check the drawers to see what the disgusting patrons have placed in there. Please tell me there aren’t any bathrooms in the houses I’m very afraid of what people may do…………………
I told the security guard about the kleenex but he didn’t care…their security seems pretty lax…
it’s the top drawer in the kitchen of the Lustron House…
We are working on a plan to cleanse the palette…
1. We ordered chinese food.
2. We are going to watch Harold & Kumar 2.
i guess art is boring
Eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I bet these are the same people that pee on toilet seats. Animals.
LOL — Yes I am sure they are one and the same!!!
Ick – that’s all I can say. Ick!
I am completely sicked out. Dude, put on your shoes and look alive.
You are always doing the things I want to do! My friends went to the opening because they make the computer driven saw, ShopBot, that cut the parts for one of the houses and I want to get to NY before it leaves. I have been in CA and therefore missed the Edie contest and my chance for a summer NY trip. That’s interesting about the steel house. I looked at buying one back when I didn’t know much, but I thought it was cool in an odd way.
A mean sense of humor is your best defense against the offensiveness of the swarming multitudes.
And I thought it was bad enough that passers by leave their fast food trash on my sidewalk and front steps. I’ve never heard of this kind of vulgarity on a museum.
I’m sorry you had to experience that.
i kept trying to tell her it was bad, but it wasn’t as bad as the crowd at the met. although the very worst in human nature is reserved for the museum of natural history.
the only museum in the city with respectable patrons is the w*****y, and that’s because most tourists have never heard of it.
Are you sure they’re not part of the exhibit? This is NYCity after all and we really can do some weird stuff around here…

Oh my god! I think I really would have called that lady out. That’s just rude, I’m sure she had a pocket or purse with her and probably a few yards away there was a trashcan.
The people sleeping, what’s up with that?! That isn’t an airport, it’s the freaking MOMA!
By the way, two weeks ago I wrote about the Lustron homes on the 2Modern blog.
EEEEEEWWW! That is so wrong on so many level!!!
I would have taken his shoes and put them in the drawer with the kleenex.
Wow. I have to say I have never heard of nor seen no shiz like that in a museum. What’s up with the security at the Moma? I live in Chicago and went to the Jeff Koons exhibit at the MCA recently and there were so many guards standing around I felt that if I looked at La Cicciolina pics too long I would be escorted out! I know the MCA is small potatoes compared to the Moma and its influx of tourists in the summer but damn… it isn’t a train station in there!
When I would set up furniture showrooms in Highpoint, NC. I would find all sorts of stuff stuck in the furniture from market.
The weirdest was used Q-tips. Why would anyone go to furniture market with Q-tips in their bag….Use them in public then….toss them in a credenza……….. YUCK….
People are NASTY! Some of them anyway….
Ewwww!!!!
What the heck?! It looks like a college dorm.
[...] Snot And Barefeet At MOMA. Not kidding. Jean fills us in on how disgusting people can be. Treating the pre-fab home exhibit as if it’s their own living room. Actually, I doubt snot lady would do that in her own house! Should’ve taken a picture and put her in the hall of shame. Renovation Therapy [...]
Oh My F’n God!
I have to say I would have left post its all over that mofo that said I AM AN ASSHOLE.
ps: I have to wonder what your man does that he hangs in museums a fe hours a day. Is this for a future book or another side proj?
Woodcraft does a modern house? Who knew…!
If you find time to build it and want to go for realism in the finished house, get yourself a tube of wood filler before you start. Because it’s officially a puzzle, a Woodcraft kit will tend to have big gaps where the pieces join. The wood also needs to be sealed before painting, as it’s super-porous.
(I sometimes like the modernist look of a non-painted, non-filled-at-the-seams house, but I’m weird.)
Thanks for the top, your houses rock!
Top? TIP!
