[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in NYC for 8 years and hate everything about it. Disgustingly dirty, crowded, [b]mean people[/b], not enough space or air - you literally could not pay me enough to move there.[/quote]

You really think the people in NYC are on the whole meaner than people here?  I'm from the West Coast and am a little surprised at how mean DC can be.  I thought NYC might be better in that respect.[/quote]

Oh sweet west coastie, I almost laughed out loud. I'm from NY and live in DC and my friends from back home who also moved and I joke about what passes for mean in other places, like DC, and how it's totally amateur hour compared to NY.[/quote]

I don't know about this. I grew up in DC. I lived in NYC , above 90th street, for several years. And, I lived in Florida for many years. I found the southerners the  meanest. They would give you a fake, limp, polite smile while doing the ugliest things. They would smile in your face and stick you in the back. In NYC the people were nicer. They were more direct, which I prefered. If they did not like you, you knew it. No fake ness. I think because the people are moving fast in NYC, it appears that they are mean because they don't stop and chit chat, especially during the winter.  But it's an appearance and not a reality.

I will never forget a funny moment on the elevator in Macy's, when a group of strangers began laughing and joking with each other when DH lit the place up with his flatulence. The NYC meanness people always reference was no where to be found. [/quote]
