[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one says “Hi” in NYC unless you explicitly know them. People live in the same apartment building for years and years and will ignore each other!

Most urban areas are like this. If you want friend, get a dog. [/quote]

I disagree. I lived in NYC for over a decade — and in the buildings where I lived, in stores, and even on the street, people usually spoke to each other, more often than not. NYC is one of the friendliest places I’ve lived. Maybe I just lived in unusually friendly neighborhoods. [/quote]

NYC is definitely friendlier. I have lived in NY, LA, London and DC.
DC is the WORST place in the entire world for uptight, passive-aggressive, non-hello people.

Last week I was walking my dog down an otherwise empty street - a large man was watering his plants with his back to me, as I passed he turned and stared. I said "good morning". He continued to stare, in silence, so I said "GOOD MORNING" and nodded, in case he was deaf / wearing ear buds. He turned away. What a f88ker. I give up.[/quote]
