Watch: Napping Hipster Vs. Kickball Captain in Brooklyn Park
This is how the people of McCarren Park solve their problems.
Not content to celebrate one of the year’s last sunny days at Williamsburg’s McCarren Park with some peace and community togetherness, a “napping hister” and a representative for the Brooklyn Kickball club opted instead to throw tandem tantrums, re: their respective right to occupy a patch of grass that the kickball team had squeegeed especially for their game, according to a witness video posted to Gothamist.
“Do you see the baseline here, girlfriend?” a dude with a kickball yells at a woman napping in the grass. “You’re the most selfish person in the world. Get the f*** out of here.”

“Really loser?” she responds. “Get a f****** life, you think you own the f****** park?”
And so on and so forth, until our napping hipster reluctantly moves a few meters toward the camera — yet doesn’t quit dropping F bombs for a second, even once she’s face-down in the grass. Dedication, we tell you.
