From walking too slow to insulting our food, you’ll find it’s quite easy to set a New Yorker off. Though our usual, level demeanor and helping spirit normally shocks tourists, it’s all rainbows and sunshine until someone says something stupid.
So we’ve decided to ask our loyal audience of headstrong New Yorkers the easiest way to annoy a New Yorker in just five words or less. These are the hilarious, but aggravating just reading them, responses we collected: (All GIFs are via Giphy)
How to annoy a New Yorker in five words or less…
1. “Hoboken is basically New York.”
2. “Where is the Olive Garden?”
3. “Chicago has the best pizza.”
4. “Where is Times Square?”
5. “What’s with the rush?”
6. “Where is a bathroom nearby?” — we actually know this one 😉
7. “No, I don’t like pizza.”
8. “It’s showtime!”
9. “This train is going local!”
10. “This train is going express.”
11. “These bagels aren’t all that.”
12. “The Big Apple”
13. “Boston Red Sox Best in history.”
14. “Montreal bagels are the best.”
15. “You must know famous people.”
16. “Can I stay with you?” …as if our apartments weren’t tiny enough
17. “I could never live here.”
18. “Can we meet at 9?” No, we cannot meet at 9 for a night out. We can meet at 11pm earliest.
19. “Look! An empty subway car.”
20. “I prefer Miami over NYC.” (No shade Secret Miami)
21. “Alternate side parking is in effect.”
22. “I think we should just drive.” Excuse, but do you own a car?
