Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
I had a friend say people in California are "nice" in that they'll encourage you to find investors for your shitty idea, where people on the east coast will just tell you it's a shitty idea and save you the embarrassment.
That said, people in NY are some of the kindest i've met around the country. There's nowhere else where conversations in line happen as frequently. Trying that in other places has gotten me weird stares or ignored.
Odd, doesn't NYC specifically have the reputation, stereotype even, for being complete uncaring assholes who would just ignore and step over someone having a medical emergency on the street? I would have thought conversation in the grocery store checkout line being much more a thing on the west coast.
It only occurs in the bodega, a unique New York phenomenon.
San Francisco has Bodegas, mostly in North Beach
Sounds made up. New York is the only city in the world with corner stores that make sandwiches.
Yeah, it does have that reputation, but I think that comes mostly from movies and not from people who actually live there. Plus, New York is a bunch of different cities and communities mashed up next to each other.
No I think that honestly is extrapolated from people saying NYers are "assholes", as in direct and speak their mind. The other side of that coin is they're also willing to speak their mind positively or help someone out.
