Piss off every New Yorker in 36 seconds.

All very valid points.
All I can add is "If the border between New York and New Jersey is the center of the Hudson River, then the Statue of Liberty is technically in New Jersey."

Making it in a city with 20 million people also making it is not an indication of your ability to succeed any where else.

Also, none of your teams are underdogs if you spend the most money on them.

As a New Yorker, this thread is pissing me off. Nice job, guys.

I like the Rangers

[Father Dougal McGuire]

a little of topic, but my memory of a trip to NYC includes being told "Hey youse, go f*** yourself!" along with that chin flip gesture. less then 30 seconds of getting off the Greyhound bus. I don't mean to disrespect NYC, I just posted this because, to be honest, this has to be the second funniest way someone tried to offend me.


I think the funniest part was my and my friend joking that that was this guys job, Waking up at 7 am to make it down by 9 and manning his post till 5pm, just to insult tourist and commuters.

[Burst]

^ I swear New Yorkers just seem to know when you're entering for the first time. When my sister moved to Queens to start her medschool clinicals, we had barely made it out of the Holland Tunnel before someone ran a red light and shouted "You f***ing f***s!" at us!

So, you mean to tell me that intentionally trying to annoy people in public does, infact, annoy people? Fascinating!

[Deleted]

This list is honestly "things that generally annoy people everywhere." I mean.."Not holding an elevator" is not some singularly New York thing - that's just being a dick.

The rest are just things that are annoying if you live in a city.

Just tell 'em old York is way better by gum.
And for those high falutin' book learning types substitute in New Amsterdam.

Old New York was once New Amsterdam, Why they changed I can't say. They just like it better that way.

[Hurbster]

New Amsterdam territory was ceded to the English at the conclusion of the Third Anglo-Dutch War at the Treaty of Westminster in 1674.

[Cyno]

We'll show that Stuyvesant what's up.

And yeah, not many of these are very specific to New York so much as any sort of major city. The only ones that seem uniquely New York are the Metrocard and Times Square things.

JETS SUCK, GIANTS SUCK, YANKEES SUCK, METS SUCK, KNICKS SUCK, NETS SUCK, RANGERS SUCK, ISLANDERS SUCK.

There, I pissed them all off using the tactic of "cheap heat."

On top of that, both the Giants & Jets play in New Jersey. It's one thing if a team plays in the outskirts of the city but they don't even play in the same state. They should be the New Jersey Jets & the New Jersey Giants. None of that NY/NJ crap either, move back into New York or change the name.


Also, there is no need to say New York FOOTBALL Giants. The baseball team went west over 50 years ago.
