Study: 'Sidewalk Rage' Plagues New York City Streets
They needed a study for this?
I remember walking with a friend in the rich snooty part of NYC, out in front of Bloomingdales or some such. I turned my head to say something to my friend, and this well dressed older woman stiff-armed me. And of course fell right on her ass, because stiff-arming The Phantom is like stiff-arming a Clydesdale. The horse ain't going to be the one that moves. She kinda bounced off me and measured herself on the pavement, I thought she'd broken a hip or something. I bend over to see if she's ok, she starts yelling "YOU'RE IN MY WAY!!!". I can't recall if I offered to kick her a couple times while she was down there, or if I just thought it really loud. I do believe we helped her up though, good manners are firmly ingrained in Canadian boys pretty much at a reflex level.
Its the kind of thing that I've never seen happen anywhere else but Noo Yawk. What a dump.
