Good point. I’m good because its considered s multi tool with a blade of less that four inches and it’s not in view. But you are correct about strict knife laws in nyc.

I've been working in the city since 2006 and it's happened to me at least 10 times or so. I've also offered tissues to people who were having a coughing fit (pre-covid) and once gave a woman who was really coughing an unopened bottle of water that I had. But that one was more of a group effort. About four of us were helping her in one way or another. I can't see that happening right now...I think the car would just clear out!

It’s just one reason I carry tissue with me. I also carry a Swiss Army knife with me because I’m convinced I’m going to save an animal that’s tangled in a piece of plastic with it. 😂

This is why I always carry tissues with me. If I see anyone crying I can pull them out and just ask them if they could use a tissue. It’s a kindness that needs nothing from the other person and every single time it’s been received well.
