Another post in my the things you see in NYC series, now often I will title these post the Cool things in NYC but perhaps this is more the strange things you see.

For those in NYC this is something you may see now and again, and it is a huge inflatable rate that one Union or another will put up outside a building where they have issues or concerns with something is going on that upsets the Unions in some way.


I have asked at a couple at is can be that the company is hiring non Union staff or has unsafe practices and I guess could be for various other reasons as well.



Often nearby there will also be Union Members picketing the site, that wasn't this case when i saw this one, but again this was early morning so perhaps the picketing starts later in the morning.


I went with a bit of creative editing with this one since it wasn't that colorful or eye catching a subject

I hope the Subject Rats didn't scare anyone away, I wont say there are not real rats in NYC just not in this post :)

PS I normally do not upvote my posts but forgot to uncheck the upvote button when I posted this one and am a bt annoyed at myself

Wow, so huge and fearful rat! I hope he does not eat people LOL :)))

Me Neither!!! Thanks For Your Funny Comment, Brightens Up My Day. FOLLOWING YOU!!

lol no I think people are safe near it lol 😂

Interesting way to protest. The dreaded RAT.

this is so huge and quite scary. Rats are really common here and I just don't like them at all. There was one in our home some time back driving us crazy every night.

I am not a fan of rats but I have lived in places with rats and they are so nasty

I don't like them either. I've also lived in a place with lots of cockroaches. We used this weird chalk to kill them. We used to draw pictures on the floor with the chalk. Was so weird now that I think about it.

Cockroaches I to have lived in places with to many of them
But I never came across the chalk to get rid of them

We used to draw smiley faces was kinda weird. Where are you from?

I am from NZ but have travelled a lot

Awesome which countries? What made you decide to become a digital nomad?

I have lived in Singapore Israel Lebanon Pakistan India Rwanda Tanzania Bosnia to name a few

My job lead to do all this traveling

I saw a video of a dancing rat today it was really strange.

It must have been but I guess rats need their fun too lol.

I like this so much! What a creative way to take a stand

Isn’t it really hard to miss

Great shot Jay, man you really do get some good ones. Keep it up, Love seeing them in my feed.

Thanks kindly my friend

Your quality post caught my attention and I hope you benefit from my resteem. My followers have a refined appreciation for quality art. You might also enjoy my curated collection.

OK as a silver bug, it is driving me crazy wondering what the sign meant... lol!
And the self upvote thing... Is there some sort of guideline? I used to wait and try to be the last to upvote my post, I read that gave my "curators" a bigger cut. Then someone jumped on me and said that was "punk ass" but never explained why. Most of my posts make less than a dollar, why is it so horrible if I try to use what I have worked SO hard for to help my account grow as quickly as I can? I spend nearly all my vote power trying to help littler accounts, so even if they upvote me back I don't make much. I don't ask for upvotes from anyone, I don't ask anyone to adopt me, why is it such a sin to try to help myself?

i have seen a similar sign with a different name where silver is so I suspect it’s the company’s name

On self voting I normally don’t do that but that’s my personal choice

I know others do it after a few hours so as to not affect curation awards
Or at time of posting also supposedly does not affect curation awards

Haha I miss remember those ole rats! Great shot and yes!only in NYC! Where is a good blow up cat when you need one! Tip!

I keep hoping I will see a huge inflatable cat one day

That is one huge inflatable rat. WTH. (what the heck) lol

Is there a movie filming there about huge Rat invasion coming to end humanity or what? And, this the rat king? lol

Seriously this is the only thing I think how why there would be huge inflatable rat on the back of the track. Or, maybe it is for halloween kind of thing which someone is taking way too seriously. lol

Lol this happens often it’s the unions calling a company rats fir hiring non union staff
