Along the heels of the Top Five things I miss about New York, I had compiled a list of a few things that I didn't miss about the Big Apple. But after reading my blog, and then reading this article, another friend of mine, who also moved from New York to Zurich, went a little bit crazy and compiled a list of 32 things that he hated about New York. His list was so hilarious that I decided to post a few items from it, with permission, of course:
- Grand Central Terminus
- Taking NJ Transit
- People always wanting to go to a specific place
- People lying all the time by saying, "Queens is not SO bad after all"
- People exaggerating the size of their apartments
- People not admitting that a rat in the house is ACTUALLY disgusting
- People always demanding that YOU do something fun on the weekend, because if you dont, like OMG, like you are such a loser! What do you mean you will cook and read???WTF!
- Every one pretending to be making 'six figures' or more, even when they are barely scraping by
- Plainsboro NJ (or anywhere with no hot dog vendors and traffic, sirens and smoke) being considered quaint
- Anyone (which is mostly everyone) who walks around the city with their eyebrows perpetually in a raised position
- People running to catch subway trains, knowing there's another one coming
- Guys standing around swiping subway cards for no reason
- Women yelling at their kids to 'shut the f#$k up'
You may not agree whole heartedly with everything on it, but you must admit, it does make for an interesting read!

People stand around and swipe subway cards for no reason? Are they bored? I'm completely baffled by this.
ReplyDeleteI think you should make a love/hate list about Zurich, just to be fair.
LOL, wow. I have to admit though, I never though NY was all that. When people say oooh I wanna move to NY, they expect me to be all oooooh wow that's so awesome. I'm thinking, "HA! Good luck with that!" and then I say "Ha! Good luck with that!" Just b/c. Oh and here she is still in DC area, barely scraping by and complaining that she's broke all the time. As a matter of fact, I wish she did move to NY! Damnit I'm bitter. I'm just catching up! I know bad friend!
