Re: turn your rings around??

Yep, if I'm on a shady line and/or it's later at night you bet your arse my ring is turned!

Re: turn your rings around??

OMG I thought I was a freak for doing this as well!!!

I turn it around when I see some creeper on the train or if I am walking in an enclosed area, I turn it around so I don't bang it on anything. I always think to myself that I am just being paranoid but I'm glad I'm not alone!

When I was in my early / mid 20's I commuted into NYC for work, I wasnt engaged at this point but wore rings. I ALWAYS turned them rings around. My step-sister put the fear of heck in me when she told me this story about her roommate getting jumped in Penn (in the early 90's) and getting seriously beaten for a necklace she was wearing. Scary stuff!

Re: turn your rings around??

Nope. I work at 143 and Broadway and have never turned my rings....I feel like the more you try to hide something the more you look like a target.
