[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. I've got nothing left. I spent all day having to talk to people. 
2. I'm not there to chat with you. You are from the South or Midwest and think you're being friendly. I'm from NY and think you're like an annoying gnat - inconsequential and irrelevant. I'm there to see my kid, meet with teachers, etc. [/quote]

Seeing other human beings as inconsequential actually makes you a horrible one. Hope this helps!

And get over yourself with the "I'm from New York crap". My husband is a born and bread New Yorker and nice to people. You're just an ahole. [/quote]

Hah, yes, my father is a New Yorker and tries to make friends with everyone.[/quote]

We went to a small town in Vermont to view the last eclipse after looking up the trajectory on the map. We thought we were being clever to find an out of the way small town, not realizing it would be overrun by other tourists for the same reason. This tiny town jacked up the parking to $26. I was so upset I started complaining about it to strangers walking next to us -- a couple from NY in their late 60s/early 70s. I said I felt so ripped off by this town. The guy said, "Don't let it ruin your experience. Just put it aside. Don't dwell on it. Just enjoy the eclipse." I couldn't believe how kind and human he was to someone he didn't even know, who was spewing negativity. New Yorkers are the best. They live in a massive city and yet retain their basic humanity. How do they do it?[/quote]

I’m a New Yorker… there are lots of people here like anywhere. Some are nice, some are stuck up twats, some are classy and some are trashy. A 60s/70s couple who went out of their way to see the eclipse is probably of the more down to earth type. [/quote]
