Why does everyone think New Yorkers are rude? I beg to differ. We just tell it like it is. If we want something, we ask for it. We don’t stand around like schmucks waiting for it to happen.I get frustrated after spending time down in the city and then returning upstate. Especially when I’m driving. People don’t know how to drive in Beacon! Hey, if someone is in your way, you need to honk, goddammit!When I visit the in-laws in Ireland, they think I’m a nuts. This is a country full of alcoholics and people with ulcers because they keep things to themselves. They would prefer to suffer through an uncomfortable existence rather than hurt someone’s feelings. Screw that! I’m not gonna freeze my ass off because you think 50 degrees is comfortable.So, no, I don’t think New Yorkers are rude. I think we’re the only normal ones on the planet. Everybody else sucks.

Hahahahahaha! My mother and I were just talking about this the other day. We’re both die-hard NY’ers and she’s lived out here in Phoenix since ’81, and she mentioned that one of her co-workers at the architecture firm where she works half-jokingly told here everyone in the office is afraid of her. Mom’s a tiny little thing, but she’s got a VERY direct, big, way of speaking. When she speaks, EVERYONE listens. Mom also has a mug on her desk that says “Everyone’s entitled to my opinion”. So apt. Swears like a sailor, too…. ‘but in the nicest way’.
OMG, are you my brother? My mom has the same thing. I believe it’s a refrigerator magnet.
