I have to warn you that it won't be gentle just because it's your first time.Originally posted by: JulesMaximus
It's not that NYC hates you. It's just that it hasn't gotten to know you yet. I suggest taking it out to dinner, maybe a movie. You know, get acquainted.

Just yesterday, I was at the side, and this group of asian guys and girls were taking up the sidewalk coming towards me. Just enough room to come through. Then as we were passing each other, this small asian girl was trying to squeeze into that whole I was going to walk through. "Fvck her" said my mind and I became a walking wall and holy crap did she suffer whiplash when her shoulder hit me.
Kept on walking...
I hate that crap. Morons taking the whole sidewalk to walk in groups. I just get my body ready and plow 'em down.
I've seen Chinese grandmas bump people bigger than you out of the way getting off/on the subway. It has little to do with size.Originally posted by: episodic
I'd like to see someone bump me out of the way. (6'3 and 300lbs)

I would just smile and compliment those people in some way. It would probably piss them off even more.
See, you don't get it at all. They're not pissed off in the slightest. The other people were not angry or emotional or being dickish. You were in the way. They moved you. They didn't spare you a second thought, so getting angry at them is a waste of your time. Now stand clear of the goddamn closing doors.
That's sort of what I'm saying, there is no point in getting angry at them. So smile and continue with your day. Although it would be hard not to get a little irritated if someone slams you in the shoulder as they walk by. That is "dickish", even if it is considered normal behavior.
Au contraire, mon freire. Dickish is standing in the doorway when people are trying to get off/on. A shoulder is merely local parlance for "excuse me sir, you seem to be impeding the flow of human traffic in both directions, and given the high population density of the surrounding area I suggest it would be good manners to remove yourself from the spot in which you stand and relocate to a position further inside the car thus facilitating the boarding process for all involved. I bid you a pleasant day."
We just don't have time to say all that in the 6 seconds before the doors close. Hence, a shoulder. Dickish would be a shoulder and picking your pocket.

I lived in NYC, and yes it's like that, but never a snowball. I lived there 4 years, and a year in I was the one who was aggressive. I would always be the first to walk out of a subway train and push ppl arouind. If you make it in NYC, you will make it anywhere. What part of town do you live in? If you say the Bronx, I will pray for you. Bronx is a rough place...

I have been here for a year and never had one problem. I take 4 trains per day and walk through 42nd/TS and GCT. I have bumped and pushed people all over, never once did I return anybody's bitching. Just keep walking.
It's because you're a level 5 badass and the OP is a wuss.Originally posted by: LegendKiller
