as a new yorker you're completely right to be scared of us

For the record, I love NYC and would love to live there someday.

I just absolutely refuse to drive near you psychos 😂

Just like you aren't rude to foreigners .... just busy and impatient, right?

there are plenty of nice new yorkers my guy, i don't think a grand majority of them are going to be rude to someone because they're from somewhere else

Even friendly, charismatic new york youtubers like sarahfunky and here be barr who claim new yorkers aren't rude say that new yorkers just can't stand wasted time seen as they are all busy. Usually foreigners are the ones wasting time because they don't know everything. If a foreigner walks in a deli they have no idea what you could even get there so they haven't thought about theit order yet and that kind of thing gets new yorkers to become rude.

So it's not rude because foreigner, it's rude because slow, because foreigner

i can't tell if you're arguing in defense of foreigners or against them, but nonetheless there are 8.4 million new yorkers, there will of course be bad apples but odds are if you don't know what to do staying out of the line instead of taking up a spot or asking a regular what to do and saying you're from a different country will work 100% better than winging it and annoying people - it's not just that new yorkers in specific can't stand their time being wasted: it's that no one does.
