I find this amusing.
I was a seminary girl (unfortunately), but not the regular kind; I went to a more liberal school that had a half-day art/music program, so everyone at our school was annoyed by all these loudmouthed, ugg-wearing, horrible-accent-bearing girls.
One even came up to one of us and asked in the most obnoxious non-accent, “Efshaaawwr t’moonaw?” It was quite entertaining.
I hope everyone listens to these rules.
Even though I have davened mincha on the street while waiting for a bus b/c I knew I’d forget once I got to my destination, and I felt like being an extra good Jew that day.

Not at all; it was a trade. I gave them all the other shchunos. In fact, strictly speaking turf-wise, they got the better of the deal.

This is quite funny actually. But also kind of mean. I had my ’sem’ year last year. luckily, I didnt do any of those things.

kind of rude to say its your ‘turf’ and no girls allowed, dont you think?

Wrong. Ask any modern-day poskim if its proper for a girl to daven in public like that. Also see the shmoozen from R’ Shalom Shechter

Chatting? How so?

And yes, I am a bona fide yeshiva bochur. I hope *pinching cheeks and hat to make sure*- yup, still am.

A little/lot late here but great post.
As a bochur who lived in geula I echo your sentiments.

Are you really a yeshiva bachur? your vocabulary is impressive, but I don’t think it appropriate for yeshiva bachurim to spend there time “chating” with girls.
and my father would flop if he read your thing about mincha, it is an obligation, and gilrs who are in the street at shkia time (they should plan in advance though) should stop and daven regardless.

Maybe Bayit Vegan didn’t have any vacant buildings at the time? You could always look around for one now and then secretly slip the information into her mailbox…
