  • Opinion: Law enforcement rented several rooms at the storage place where I belong to harass me.

    Law enforcement rented several rooms at the storage place where I belong to harass me.

    I always ignore law enforcement’s civilian lie and scam team or just treat them respectfully at the storage place. 

    This has nothing to do with the storage company or any of the storage company staff. 

    A few days ago I showed up to my storage room and some of my clothes were stolen including a $300 winter coat I bought with my student loans. 

    Today I showed up to the storage place January 14, 2024 in the morning. 

    First, there was a male customer walking back and forth in and out of the main storage door. 

    I patiently waited for him to walk away. 

    Then a female customer walked up and I let her go before me. 

    The woman started hiding behind a column in the storage lobby by the elevators. 

    Once she saw I wasn’t going in until she moved, she got on the elevator. 

    When I was trying to leave the storage place, a woman went in front of me.

    She put a pushcart in the electric doors, propped the doors open, and walked off. 

    At that point, I called corporate at the storage company because no one is supposed to leave a pushcart propping open the locked main entrance electric doors. 

    I didn’t say a word to the woman. 

    I didn’t touch the pushcart. 

    Eventually, the woman came back and moved the pushcart.

    Now there are two push carts left haphazardly on the inside of the electric doors. 

    A separate customer immediately walks up and leaves another push cart blocking the main entrance electric doors outside of the main elevators. 

    I politely and respectfully called corporate and let them know what was going on. 

    I didn’t say a word to the customers. 

    I carefully walked out. 

    When I was walking to the bicycle rental dock around the corner another person cut me off on the sidewalk and came inches of crashing into me when the street was 90% empty and there was all the space in the world to walk. 

    In my opinion people I know pay law enforcement to harass me in New York City.

    Law enforcement pays and trains regular people, women and men of all ages who have jobs or go to school, to harass people including me.

    For example, the civilian lie and scam team crashes into me, shoves their phones in my face, blocks me from walking, blows drug smoke in my face, and much more.

    If anyone has any ideas how I can legally get law enforcement to stop harassing me, please let me know.

    I’ve contacted hundreds of government agencies and they ignore me.

  • Opinion: Email to a coworking place with an idea on August 26, 2022.

    Greetings Coworking,

    I love coworking.

    It’s an excellent value.

    I’m very grateful to be a member. 

    I have a quick idea for you.

    Here it is. 

    You might consider offering clients an option inside their account on the app and web to pre-pay for their memberships and spaces. 

    This is my thought process. 

    I assume there are several entrepreneurs in your spaces.

    In my opinion, entrepreneurs run hot and cold. 

    If an entrepreneur or startup gets their hands on money, they could potentially appreciate an easy option to load money onto their account/balance to pay for future months.

    By prepaying, your clients can secure their spaces for months or years without being concerned about future payments. 

    I just wired money to pre-pay for September in advance.

    I’m more than happy to wire money.

    I suspect that several of your clients probably don’t realize they can pre-pay for future months via wire payment. 

    If there was an easy pre-pay option listed inside the online account, there is a chance a percentage of members would be interested.

    For example, if a startup raises a few hundred grand or a few million dollars, it makes sense to pre-pay their coworking for the year before they spend all the money. 

    On another note: 

    I always treat all your staff with the utmost respect at all times. 

    I treat all your locations with the absolute utmost respect at all times. 

    I mostly keep to myself in regard to the other members. 

    I prefer to do my networking on the internet and phone. 

    I have another idea for you that I will send over later about possibly acquiring new locations from landlords. 

    Thank you again for the stellar service you provide. 

    Have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to the coworking place where I’m a member on November 4, 2022.

    Greetings X coworking,

    First and foremost, X coworking is the best coworking ever.

    I love it.

    I treat your staff professionally and respectfully when I interact with them.

    I treat your facilities with the utmost respect humanly possible.

    I keep to myself in regards to your members.

    I’m friendly and respectful, although I keep to myself.

    I wanted to mention something quickly that is no major issue.

    No matter how great of an offering you present to the public, from my experience, there are always going to be people who have bad intentions.

    For example, some of the gyms I belong to are amazing.

    The company could not be doing a better job.

    The college I go to is amazing too.

    The majority of people are looking to respectfully enjoy themselves.

    There is always a small group that is looking to cause issues.

    I just want to go on the record right now.

    This has never happened and I don’t think it ever will happen.

    I’m just giving a hypothetical situation.

    If someone at the coworking pours a can of paint on my head, throws my laptop out of the window, and anything else along those lines; I will not say a word to the person.

    I will respectfully and politely email you here and let you know what happened.

    I’m not anticipating that will happen; I just wanted to mention it.

    I was walking in one of your amazing locations, and someone walked in front of me, said go for it, and then walked away.

    I have no idea who the person is.

    I didn’t say a word.

    I didn’t have a reaction.

    It’s no big deal.

    I’m not sure what the person was talking about.

    It just made me think of the gyms I belong to because sometimes there is questionable behavior by some of the members.

    There is no need to follow up.

    I just wanted to touch base about the issue.

    Thank you again for creating an excellent coworking environment in New York City.

  • Opinion: Email to a coworking place about billing on October 20, 2022.

    Greetings coworking,

    I love coworking, it’s an excellent deal.

    I just wanted to follow up to avoid having any mishaps at the end of the month.

    I paid about $860 in advance.

    My billing address has been changed (attached).

    Now it says $0 has been prepaid on the new address, and the $860 is attached to the old address.

    I was told the money would apply towards future months.

    I just wanted to double-check because the month is almost over, and the money hasn’t moved over.

    The pre-paid amount is showing $0 at the new address.

    Also, tomorrow is Friday, then we have the weekend, and November 1, 2022, is going to be here quickly.

    Please advise.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to my coworking place about quiet common areas on August 29, 2022.

    Greetings coworking,

    I love coworking, it’s the best deal ever. I am as happy as can be with my membership.

    $X per month is beyond a great deal.

    I have a few questions about the X location because I love it. It’s amazing.

    I’m a X member.

    1. What floors in the building am I allowed to access the common areas?

    2. Are there any additional floors that have common areas available for all access members?

    3. If I’m correct, some of the locations have areas without music playing for members.

    Does X location have any work areas for members without music playing?

    It’s no big deal, I can listen to some music in my headphones.

    I was just curious if there were any quiet areas.

    Please advise when you are available.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Sanitizer is holding open the door in the Flatiron / Chelsea location on October 23, 2022.

    Greetings Coworking,

    I love Coworking.

    The value is stellar.

    I’m on the fifth floor at X St in New York City.

    When I arrived today, I noticed that someone used one of the sanitizer posts to hold one of the doors leading to the bathroom open on the floor.

    I sent an email to customer support but I didn’t hear anything back.

    I guess because it’s Sunday.

    I just called support, and they told me to move the sanitizer thing away from the door so the door would close.

    I carefully moved the sanitizer post away from the door, and the door is working perfectly.

    Just wanted to let you know how it all worked out.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: A doorman almost crashed into me in the lobby of my coworking place in Times Square on November 26, 2022.

    Greetings coworking,

    I love coworking.

    At about 11:32 AM on November 26, 2022, I was slowly and carefully walking out of the Time Square lobby.

    The doorperson almost bumped into me.

    I didn’t say a word.

    I just moved out of the way and let the person go.

    I tried to send this message with no address attached, but the form keeps moving to an address, so I picked a random address.

    I don’t want it to seem like I’m telling on the person.

    I report every interaction like this so there are no misunderstandings.

    I’m 46 years old.

    If someone at coworking poured a can of paint on my head, threw my laptop out of the window, and told me they didn’t like me, I would say nothing, or I would say thank you and walk away.

    Coworking is a huge part of my program as it is a huge part of everyone’s program that belongs to coworking.

    Coworking is the ultimate business tool.

    Anyway, it’s no big deal.

    I’m not saying a word about it to anyone here.

    When I see the people who work at the front desk, I always wave and say thank you.

    That’s it.

  • Opinion: Notice of Claim to sue the NYPD regarding scams to try and get me kicked out of a gym.

    I’m not a lawyer. Verify everything yourself.

    In my opinion, people I know pay New York City law enforcement to harass me. New York City law enforcement has women and men in regular clothes follow me into stores, the subway, supermarkets, etc., and run scams on me. For example, New York City law enforcement has people cut me off, shove their phones in my face, crash into me, and blow smoke in my face.

    The following is a notice of claim that I had notarized and delivered to the New York City Comptroller’s Office on July 18, 2022.

    Notice of Claim to sue the NYPD about a gym scam. 

    Mark Pine

    Notice of Claim to sue the NYPD 

    I would like to sue the NYPD for $150,000.

    First and foremost, I always treat the NYPD police officers at the precincts respectfully, regardless if they give me a police report or not. 

    I also always treat everyone at the NYC Comptroller’s Office, the attorneys and court reporters you refer me to, people who work at 60 Centre St, etc., with the utmost respect at all times. 

    I don’t care if someone pours a can of paint on my head; I will walk away and still treat everyone respectfully. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. 

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t date. 

    I’m a full-time student at Baruch College. 

    Notice of Claim: 

    I suspect that people I know pay active and retired NYPD police officers, private detectives, private investigators, etc., to harass and sabotage me. 

    I grew up in Nassau County, Long Island, New York, and there are several millionaires that I know that are alleged to pay New York City law enforcement for all types of scams. 

    On July 16, 2022, at about 7 PM in New York City, I had an issue with the NYPD and civilians in front of a building in Manhattan. 

    I was sitting on the steps in front of a multi-unit apartment rental building. 

    Most of the time, when I sit on steps in front of a building, the tenants just walk by and don’t say anything. 

    If a tenant says don’t sit on my steps, I politely say I’ll move, and I move right away. I don’t care if the tenant is polite or not, if someone asks me to move I move. 

    Yesterday I was sitting on the steps of a building in Manhattan. I was using my laptop, minding my own business. 

    At about 7PM on July 16, 2022, a woman sneaks up on me and starts yelling in my face. 

    The woman who was yelling at me had her mouth about an inch away from my mouth and was yelling and spitting in my face that I had to move. 

    There was no warning at all. 

    When I looked up, I noticed the woman was with a man. 

    The man was standing, blocking the gate where you have to walk in and out. 

    That was the first scam that the man started trying to run on me. I know about that scam because people I know pay New York City law enforcement to harass me. 

    The scam is you ask someone to move and then you crash into the person as they are leaving. 

    The minute I realized that I had a woman yelling and spitting in my face and a man trying to grab my backpack while simultaneously trying to crash into me, I called 911. 

    I don’t drink. 

    I don’t smoke.

    I don’t date. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I file my taxes in January. 

    I live squeaky clean. 

    I have nothing to hide. 

    The people said why are you calling the police?

    It’s our steps. 

    I ignored them. 

    There was a security camera on the building next door but I don’t know if it recorded the instance or not. 

    Once I started calling NYPD 911 the couple called NYPD 911 after me. 

    I called NYPD 911 first which can be verified by both of our phone records. 

    I think that the couple that was harassing me is connected with the NYPD and New York City law enforcement. They wouldn’t let me go. Anytime I sit on someone’s steps, when they say please move I move right away. This time they were blocking me and spitting in my face while trying to get me to crash into the man on the way out which is one of NYC law enforcement’s bread and butter scams. 

    Next, additional civilians showed up, and they continued running scams on me. I have the woman yelling and spitting in my face.

    The man she was with, who was blocking me from leaving and trying to grab my backpack, walked behind me.

    Before I had a chance to move, another man got into the same position, blocking the gate that the previous man was in. 

    The new man started running another New York City law enforcement scam.

    The New York City law enforcement scam is a fabricated conversation scam.

    I was on the phone with NYPD 911 speaking with the NYPD 911 operator.

    The second man who was blocking me from walking out of the gate was speaking to me as if I was talking with him when I was talking with the NYPD 911 operator.

    I stayed on the phone with NYPD 911 from the minute the woman started spitting in my face with two men blocking me from walking until the NYPD Officers arrived. 

    I was respectful to the NYPD Officers, which can be proved by watching the NYPD body camera video. 

    I suspect that all parties involved are unofficially connected with New York City law enforcement, and I’m about to explain why I believe that. 

    The NYPD officers denied me a police report for people spitting in my face, blocking me from walking, and trying to steal my backpack.

    I want to sue for being denied a police report. 

    I asked the NYPD officer if I could speak with the sergeant or lieutenant and ask for a police report, and he said no. 

    Instead of going to the NYPD Precinct on July 16, 2022, and getting rejected for a police report for the second time, I went to the NYPD 1st Precinct on July 16, 2022, at 8 PM.

    The NYPD 1st Precinct also denied me a police report for the same incident. 

    I was 100% respectful to the NYPD police officer at the NYPD 1st Precinct after they refused to issue me a police report. 

    That is why I want to sue the NYPD for $150,000. Because they denied me a police report twice on the same day for the same incident. 

    I want to explain further what I think is going on here. 

    People I know pay New York City law enforcement to harass me every day.

    New York City law enforcement is trying to get me kicked out of every place I go. 

    On July 16, 2022, at about 7 PM, while the woman was spitting in my face and the two men were blocking me from walking away and trying to steal my backpack, more people showed up. 

    Before I go any further, I just want to go on the record that I didn’t look too closely at any of the people. 

    I couldn’t remember what anyone from yesterday looked like except maybe the two police officers I was talking with. 

    I don’t remember what any of the civilians looked like.

    I remember general descriptions, but I wasn’t looking at them closely to memorize their faces. 

    First, I was on the phone with NYPD 911 the entire time I was waiting for the New York City Police to show up. Then I walked off to speak with the NYPD Police. 

    As I was waiting for the police to show up, I remember a few additional women showed up. I’m not sure if they went into the building I was sitting in front of or the building next door. I can’t remember. 

    I will say the additional few women that showed up seemed like they were in on the scam and working with the three others (2 men and 1 woman) that were harassing me and blocking me from leaving. 

    I’m going on the record right now. This is all connected with New York City law enforcement trying to get me kicked out of the gym I belong to. 

    This is why I think the whole entire episode is a scam to get me kicked out of my gym.

    The few additional women that showed up, the second man who was pretending I was talking with him when I was on the phone with NYPD 911, and the original two individuals probably belong to my gym. 

    NYC law enforcement will most likely have them all say, oh, he was on my steps causing a problem, he was stalking all the women, and who knows what other lies they will make up. 

    New York City law enforcement runs elaborate scams on me every day. The scams that New York City law enforcement runs on me are the equivalent of a Hollywood movie, television show, or Broadway show. 

    New York City law enforcement has billions of dollars every year, and the scams they run on me are out of this world amazing.

    The whole thing was a setup so they could run to my gym, say they coincidentally saw me after yesterday’s incident, and get me kicked out of the gym.

    New York City law enforcement is running scams on me like this every week, trying to get me kicked out of my gym. 

    I’m sitting on the steps.

    If anyone said this is my building, move, I would have moved to one of the other buildings that had steps next door or across the street. 

    If I was doing something wrong or looking for trouble, why would I call NYPD 911 before the couple did? 

    Then, coincidentally, a few women that I suspect probably belong to my gym show up.

    Not only that, but the additional women were also blocking me from walking away. 

    New York City law enforcement runs that same scam on me all the time.

    Someone tells me to walk while simultaneously trying to crash into me.

    I’ll email you a copy of the notice of claim so you can click the link. 

    If I see any of the civilians, I’m not saying a word. 

    If any of the civilians coincidentally see me and report me to my gym then they are acting on behalf of New York City law enforcement and the whole thing was not a coincidence, it was a set up.

    I was never given a chance to walk away without people trying to crash into me. Also, I called NYPD 911 before anyone. 

    The civilians just wanted to crash into me without calling the police. The civilians only called NYPD 911 after I called to make it seem like they were reporting me. 

    I want to sue the NYPD because two precincts denied me a police report that they would give anyone else.

  • Opinion: Email to a coworking place about proper protocol in regards to dirty mugs on August 27, 2022.

    Greetings Coworking,

    I love coworking.

    It’s the best office offering ever.

    First and foremost, your team that keeps the offices clean is amazing.

    Anytime they need to clean when I’m at one of your locations, I immediately move out of the way to make sure they can operate without having to work around me.

    I treat the cleaning/maintenance team with the utmost respect at all times, as I treat the rest of your team and all noncoworking building staff.

    It’s obvious that the whole coworking staff is doing a stellar job supporting the members in every way imaginable.

    Quick question. I just arrived at X location.

    I’m guessing a few members didn’t realize that there is an area where the used mugs are supposed to be placed. Of course, I would never mention that to a customer/client/member in person.

    I mostly keep to myself at the coworking space and everywhere, for that matter.

    Instead, I just put the few mugs on the counter into the used mug container.

    In the future, what is the proper procedure for a member such as myself to do if I see a few used mugs left in the wrong place?

    Should I just leave them where they are, or is it okay for me to carefully place them in the correct container for used mugs?

    Also, thank you all again for providing the incredible platform that is your coworking.

    Having coworking spaces to work makes work a lot more pleasurable. I’m a Baruch College student, and I’m working on startups.

    Coworking is improving the quality of all my work.

    Please advise regarding the mugs when you are available.

    I will continue to sing your praises to everyone I meet.

    Thank you again and have a great day.

  • Opinion: More than thirty items I ordered on the internet were delivered to the wrong address yesterday. August 22, 2022.

    I had thousands of dollars of packages disappear today because they were delivered to the wrong address. 

    I just joined a coworking place.

    I’m not going to mention the name. 

    I just received my student loans. 

    I bought several necessities that I needed on the web.

    For example, shirts, shoes, pants, toothbrushes, laptop, etc. 

    Altogether I ordered about 40 or 50 items that were mailed in separate packages. 

    I bought the items from several different companies. 

    I’m not naming any of the companies I ordered from. 

    I mailed everything to my post office box. 

    I’ve had the same post office box for years. 

    The post office box has two addresses. 

    One address is the building address. 

    The other address is the PO Box address. 

    I usually use the building address when I shop on the web instead of the PO Box address. 

    There are offices on top of the post office where I have a post office box.

    The post office and offices on top have the same building address.

    Coincidentally, the coworking place I belong to has a location in the same building where I have my post office box. 

    About thirty or more of my packages today were delivered to the office building instead of my post office box. 

    Someone at the building or office part of the building signed for thirty packages instead of my items being delivered to my post office box.  

    I assume it was an honest mistake. 

    This is the most important part. 

    I’m not saying a word about any of this to anyone at the office building where I suspect everything was delivered. 

    It’s not my responsibility to track down items that were delivered to the wrong address. 

    I’m not saying a word about this to anyone at my coworking place.

    My coworking place has nothing to do with this.

    Plus, I never discuss my personal life with anyone at my coworking place.

    I keep to myself at my coworking place. 

    I’m not saying a word about all my packages being delivered to the wrong address to anyone at the post office.

    It wasn’t their mistake.

    They never received the packages. 

    I love my post office box.

    The post office does a great job.

    I’m contacting the companies that I ordered the items from. 

    I will notify them that my items were delivered to the wrong address. 

    They can do what they want. 

    That’s it.
