I’m from Longview Texas. Rated Americas angriest city in America in 2012. Lol

Bringing back this thread because I have a story from over the weekend about what NYC can turn people into.
My wife and I went to go visit my youngest brother, who’s been living in New York for a few years now. We had just arrived and parked the car, and were waiting for him. Across the street was a woman who was trying to set up her hot dog cart. It was slightly downhill and she was having trouble controlling it. She asked me if I could help her get her cart onto the sidewalk. So, I went across the street and helped her. She said thank you and Merry Christmas.
As I was coming back, my brother shows up, and asked me what I was doing, so I told him. He gets this incredulous look on his face, then starts laughing. “You HELPED a woman with a cart? Seriously? Why would you do that?” I said because she needed help. He rolls his eyes and says, “Oh jeez. You’re such a Boy Scout. We don’t do that here.”
Here’s the thing. That’s partially why I did it: BECAUSE New Yorkers don’t do that kind of thing. I’m well aware of how that city is. I’m also not an asshole. I can spend two minutes to help a stranger do something simple. It’s really sad that being a decent human being is treated like a sign of weakness. So yes, **** NYC.
