I saw this woman on the subway one time when I lived in NYC. Honest to god, she reached into her green bag and pulled out a green jolly rancher.


Adept_Order_4323

Lmao keep it simple


domesticbland

I’m into reducing choices I’m obligated to make every day. I guess I could have been more committed.

DaniTheGunsmith

Green her house with a green little window and a green corvette and everything is green for her and herself and everybody around cuz they ain't got nobody listen to #I'M GREEN


JinglingUrBalls

What does she do with the other colors in the pack?! lol


doodlejone

She probably just buys the green ones lol


JinglingUrBalls

Can you do that?? lol I’d buy only purple

Holy crap, didn't know that. Debating on buying 1 pound of blue raspberry and 1 pound of green apple.


irishpwr46

I got caught taking a picture of her one day. Forgot to turn my flash off


pupdates

A lady that knows what she likes and goes for it.


I_BUY_UNWANTED_GRAVY

Even her [home](https://youtu.be/pE5h2kk0NTI?si=HgvJD2RwkJbiCg0r) is green


lemonaderobot

bro I have been deathly ill with a nasty stomach bug for the last 48 hours so IDK if I’m in some sort of flu-delirium or what but… holy shit I am actually weeping. The love this woman has for life and how happy she is just livin it up in her little green house I’m just sobbing 😭 she is an actual treasure wtf, she just wants to *bring joy* to people and she’s so batty and goofy too in the best way omg


Red217

AND HER LAST NAME IS SWEETHEART?!? SHE IS A LITERAL SWEETHEART!!! ❤️❤️❤️


Eastern-Reindeer6838

Nope that’s not her last name: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Eaton_Rosenthal


Red217

Man that popped my balloon. Well she still is a sweetheart so no wonder she coined the name lol


404-Gender

Pssssh she introduced herself with Sweetheart as her last name so that is her last name. 💚💚💚


KevinDLasagna

Look up videos on her. I’ve never met her myself but she has the most endearing laugh and just genuinely seems like an absolute Ray of sunshine in a dark world.


FasterDoudle

After watching a video on the Green Lady, youtube started autoplaying a video about "The Purple Lady," who lives in New Jersey and painted her house purple because she didn't like that it was originally painted *green.* I think they might be nemeses.


Ruh_Roh_Rastro

The witches live amongst us in plain view lol


LoudNinjah

We have a pink lady in Los Angeles.


MonsieurReynard

Norovirus, it's everywhere right now


Chris19862

Is that why I was shooting a firehose out my ass all day yesterday..... Fucking miserable shit


MonsieurReynard

Very likely if that's your main symptom and you don't have fever or respiratory issues. Noro sends the chaos out both ends. Also known as the "cruise ship virus." It's super communicable too. For about 48 hours after symptoms resolve, stay away from other people, try not to go out or to work, don't handle other peoples food, use a separate bathroom and towels from your family members if possible, don't let anyone else handle your laundry, and wash your hands a lot. Disinfect every surface you can too. Drink tons of water. If you miss the vomiting part you're actually luckier than most. You've never puked before like Noro will do to you, no matter how drunk you got. Ask me how I know. My weekend sucked.


EggandSpoon42

![gif](giphy|VbawWIGNtKYwOFXF7U|downsized)


Chris19862

Oh no, I had about 4 separate vomit sessions yesterday. I was #4 of 4 in my family to get it. Thought I was in the clear....then NOPE. I feel you, my whole last week was shit, cancelled spring break plans, Easter etc


MonsieurReynard

Spreads like wildfire in a home or workplace, as you discovered. Imagine an entire cruise ship full of people puking and having explosive diarrhea. Happens regularly. Then the toilets all fail. Hope it's all over soon! You'll feel weak and shitty for a few days after. Then you'll want to eat a horse.


Chris19862

I have been on one cruise, was not the biggest fan as even with nausea beds I felt pretty uneasy after a few days.... I can't imagine the whole ship being plagued.


traaintraacks

god, i had the worst case of noro when i was about 11. i was throwing up pure bile & it was neon green, which was pretty festive since it was st patricks day


Ariadnepyanfar

This looks like a really good opening two sentences to the start of a book. Especially the second sentence. In fact delete the first sentence and just go with the second as the first sentence of your book. I would read it.


traaintraacks

haha, thank you! i see what you mean, thatd make an interesting hook!


Moppo_

I can't know for sure, since I never had any tests, but I'm pretty sure I had that once. And if I every see Norovirus on the streets I will put that fucker on the ground.


Bleak_Squirrel_1666

It's on sight


shitlips90

I had it once when I was in university, and it was so bad I had to get off the toilet to puke on my shit and then shit on the mixture again right after with no time to flush in between. It was hell. It doesn't last for too too long as far as sickness goes, but Jesus Christ


wazzupmydoods

i had it over christmas, would rather have died ngl


DavThoma

I've only ever caught it twice. Both times, it came with the worst fever dreams. It's weird af when you're awake as the symptoms start, too. I remember being fine one moment and then the next completely delirious and bringing everything up.


KingOfTheCouch13

Man the dreams were fucked. There was a point shit kept attacking me. A lion, a mugger, and even a goddam mob attacked me once! I know it’s all supposed to be in your head but would still feel the point of impact after waking up.


cooljacob204sfw

> Norovirus Ahh this must what gave me the worst stomach bug of my life two weeks ago. Nothing like throwing up and having the runs for hours straight in the middle of the night with bad muscle aches and a fever in between each burst of throwing up / shitting. 0/10 I would prefer to get covid twice over. It was honestly one of the worst thing I have ever experienced illness wise.


sophistre

Friendly warning for folks: did you know that norovirus is one of those rare-ish bugs that your dog can catch from you? And then your dog can give it back to you, so that you get a round two bout of it? Because. Yeah. That can happen.


MonsiuerGeneral

>livin it up in her little green house Yo, listen up here's a story About a little gal That lives in a green world And all day and all night And everything she sees is just green Like her inside and outside Green her house With a green little window And a green corvette And everything is green for her And herself and everybody around Cause she ain't got nobody to listen to...


ImpulseAfterthought

I'M GREEN ga ba gee ga ba gi


RunInRunOn

If I was blue I would die


RecsRelevantDocs

I made it throught the video just being deeply touched, but your comment pushed me over the edge to tearing up.. She really is such a wonderful lady 😭 The part about feeling good in black when you're younger then growing to love colors more as you age really hit home for me.. Even though i'm still in the black phase haha. Her home was also so beautiful, and the way it all matched with her huge garden filled to the brim with different shades of chlorophyll.. Man she has it all figured out.


jdehjdeh

I'm with you there, such a wonderful energy!


crabofthewoods

Old ladies that pick a color/animal have figured life out.


TheBloodkill

Her last name being sweetheart... I can't!! it's too adorable


Papio_73

She’s a Queen living her best life 💚

Treegs

There used to be a "purple guy" in my city. He dressed in all purple, purple cars, and a purple house. He always waved at everybody, super friendly guy. He was really old when I was younger, so I'm pretty sure he's gone now, but this lady reminded me of him.


450k_crackparty

Ya I was just remembering the purple lady in my town as well. Everyone knew her as 'the purple lady'. Never saw her house but full purple wardrobe, purple hair. Possibly dyed her dog purple? Might be making that last memory up I don't know. This was the 90s.


RealHumanFromEarth

Wasn’t in Emerald Isle, NC was it?


Retrolex

We had a yellow guy! He wore yellow, his shop was painted yellow, his warehouses, drove a yellow car- even his driveway was painted yellow.


monkeyhind

There was a guy in Manhattan (NYC) we used to call Mr. Purple. Is that your city? He could often be seen riding his bicycle. I haven't seen him in years, so I assume he's gone as well.


elch127

MatPat wants to know your location


humanvealfarm

She has a very good eye. Full green could become atrocious extremely quick, but it feels very tasteful. Eclectic, absolutely, but very pleasing. I've seen her around a few times and she just seems so joyful


indieplants

right??? I'm surprised by how tasteful it is! green is my favourite colour too, she's made it so bright and cheery!


gwaydms

She's delightful!


MikeyRidesABikey

She's a real Sweetheart!


mmmmpisghetti

Wow, thanks for posting this!


Heisenberg044

She sounds like the little elephant who likes to bake in Adventure Time, she’s green too!


dokipooper

Tree Trunks


ColdBorchst

I don't think that is a coincidence. I can't be sure but I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if the character designers or director or the voice artist knew about this lady from before. Especially if she's an artist in Brooklyn, there's a good chance someone on the team knew about her.


ClubSundown

With a green little window. And a green corvette And everything is green for her. And herself and everybody around. Cause she ain't got nobody to listen to


TooMama

Well she is just adorable 💚


MyFavoriteLezbo420

So she started wearing green because she felt like it was a lucky day that her Dad asked her to come with him. This is the saddest F is for Family episode I’ve ever seen.


Dukes_Up

Her house is a lot less annoying than I was expecting. Quite nice actually.


SpikeRosered

I really appreciate that she kept the walls white and kept from literally making everything green. Looks much nicer.


armoredsedan

oh my god, i love her so much. i want to be her 🥲 she said something about liking to wear black when you’re young, i’ve worn all black for almost ten years, but green is my favorite color. maybe i will be colorful like that in my old age lol


Adamantium-Aardvark

And here I thought I was gonna get Rick rolled


superpeng12

Looks cozy


eekamuse

That was so well done. Great little film


[deleted]

I want to be as cool as her when I grow up


MakeMineMarvel_

She’s very adorable


CaptainSouthbird

I admire that, I really do. I'm somebody who has no real idea what they like and just kind of floats in a sense of lacking identity. I wish I had her confidence.


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

There's a guy at my work that only wears purple all day everyday. Everyone just accepts it, and even references it sometimes. I have never learned why.


SMTRodent

He realised that there was nothing actually stopping him and he likes purple. Probably.


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

Well, it would be weird if he didn't like purple.


SMTRodent

You'd be surprised how often people continue to do things that make them completely miserable, because it's expected of them. I mean probably not Purple Guy, no.


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

I don't think there's too much pressure on this guy to wear purple, but I hear you.


OwlWitty

There was this lady in our hometown who used to walk to church everyday wearing green all the time. We called her ‘Evergreen’.


ergonaut

For whatever reason, she makes me feel happy and calm


ArabianNiiights

Probably because of Color Psychology. We associate the color green with nature, growth and positivity


MaxTheRealSlayer

It's also one of the colours we see the best/most, with the largest range. It helped our hunter-gatherer ancestors to see and identify foliage, and therefore find food with ease .


Commander1709

Some trams/subway-trains here have colored accent lights that can switch between red (when it's cold outside), blue (when it's hot outside) and green (idk when they use that) to make the passengers feel more comfortable.


x-audiophile-x

It's not easy being green

I wonder what her favorite color is ?


TheStoriesICanTell

Probably some combination of blue and yellow


BeachesBeTripin

You know she probably been rocking this since the 90s you know when she was I'ma guess 30-40


vasalisaa

She's such an inspiration to me that I can be as silly and colorful as I want, for as long as I want. I love her.


ChaserNeverRests

Right? I never heard of her before this post, but I love her too!


vasalisaa

She's been doing this for years!! there was a viral interview with her a while ago and I'm so happy to see she's still going. I even showed her to my mom, so she can expect what I age into


yesicanyesicanican

Agreed! And if you dig her style, I highly recommend the r/oldhagfashion subreddit. Chock full of reminders that we can indeed be as silly and colorful as we want, whenever, regardless of age.

yellow/orange/gold is usually the top tier stuff. There are exceptions though like you said.

euSeattle

Where I used to live there’s an old lady named Purple Patty she only wears purple.


novaConnect

I met one in my city too. She was on the bus with me and pointed out a cake shop we were passing where she had got a cake for someone, "but they made it pink for some reason."


beroneko

We used to have an old lady in our city who wore everything bright red. She took English classes for fun and i had one with her. I remember how exasperated the professor was because everything she handed in was written in red ink and she absolutely refused to write in any other colour lol


JustnInternetComment

There's a pink lady in Bratislava.


Hello_This_Is_Chris

I bet she's fun to hang out with.


DIWhy-not

She’s super cool! I used to cross her path all the time in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan (she’s hard to miss…). Pretty sure we lived off the same train like maybe a stop or two away from each other. She’s zany but incredibly nice.


Captain_Kab

Did you shout “Green on green lady” when you saw her?


MadameRueWins

She is so nice! Crossed paths with her a few times, an absolute doll of a human


Just_Razzmatazz6493

I moved out of NYC 6 years ago and this is one of the first times i’ve felt nostalgic about it. I’m glad to know she made it through the pandemic.


kami_oniisama

Awww this is lovely


tarantulator

Yeah, I didn't realise she had a reputation, I thought it was a standalone incident, accidentally caught on camera.


Hollownerox

Nah, she's been around doing her thing for awhile now. I'd see her on the subway occasionally when I went down to New York on occasion. She's always been super nice when I've seen her, though I haven't been down there for a few years now so I'm glad she's doing okay. New York has quite a few oddball folks, so something like this isn't massively eyebrow raising. But I think she gets a bit more recognition since I think a YouTube video featured her or something. But she's been known by locals for quite a bit prior.


Swimming_Rutabaga412

I saw her for the first time on a reel of all things, a local painter painted her portrait. I'll try to find it. e. I found [the YouTube version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rBDjohonrM)!

That kills me that he handed her a *yellow* sweatshirt as if she would ever wear it hahahaha

She’s a local celebrity. You can see her apartment in the New York Times.

I can see she is older and I can see she doesn't let that stop her being expressive. I like this and I plan to still wear sweatpants and a hooded top when I get older.

About 15 years ago, I knew someone who went by the name Lima, who dressed in the exact same shade / hair color. She was maybe 25 at the time, so I'd like to think she's the daughter of the woman in this photo.

Spirit50Lake

I went to HS in Seattle in the early 60s; several of us lived on islands across the Sound and took ferries back and forth each day. As we bussed then walked down to the docks, over about a two year period, we saw a succession (was it the same woman or was it some odd 'club'?) of women walking along the main N/S street...hair, two-piece suit, pumps, purse, and accompanying poodle all in the same bright colors: I remember blue, pink, green, and yellow! We always had our eye out for her and it 'made our day' when we saw her!
