NYC: Please get over yourself
From The New York Times:
New York is a city where people learn the most exquisite dances of accommodation to their eight million neighbors. Newcomers quickly learn when to make eye contact and when not to (mostly not). They learn to avoid violating anyone’s private space while navigating crowded sidewalks and standing in packed subway cars. It is a place where peacefully transgressive behavior — jaywalking, wearing funny clothes — separates the Iowans from the natives, even if they have been transplanted from Iowa.
