Sorry, but as a general rule of thumb I don't take advice from drug-crazed maniacs who hang out with people that wear top hats. ;P

I got to enjoy another fine moment of NYC today. I got off the train to go to my office. After ascending some stairs a middle-aged woman, with her two little kids (5-7?), asked "How do I get to Woodhaven?" I didn't know, so I politely told her, "Sorry, I don't know." Her response shocked me. She stared at me angrily and said, "Yeah, well I'm sorry about this." She then proceeded to give me the finger and stare at me with a look of pure disgust for about six or seven seconds. Eye-to-eye contact the whole time. The most bizarre thing is that her kids were laughing their heads off about it. They thought their mother was doing something extremely funny. :wtf:

Reminds me of the one time when an older woman stopped me in the street to ask direction, well I assume that was what she was doing, because she didn't speak a word of English and I didn't speak a word of whatever she was speaking (Greek perhaps?). She looked very annoyed when I had to just say "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying" and walked away.

Sounds perfectly appropriate for New York, don't you think?

At that point, you should have simply made up a trip that consisted of 4 or 5 transfers, which included all 5 boroughs.
Or perhaps something like this[^].

No one in my lifetime has ever accused New Yorkers of being normal. Or friendly. Sounds like just another day in the Big City.:-D

I would have leaned down and said to the kids, "Did you know that your mommy killed Santa Claus?"

I wouldn't have been surprised if they cheered upon hearing it!
