If you visit the City, we will honk at you if you don't move your stupid-ass rental car within 0.4 milliseconds after the light turns green, we will call you a mofo moron if you take more than 1.5 seconds to state your order in a deli, and we will knock the frigging shopping bags out of your hands if you walk too slowly on the sidewalk. We will charge you $12 for a grilled cheese sandwich, and you will pay it -- even as the waiter mocks you out - to your face - for whatever ugly-ass outfit you're wearing (probably a burlap sack). We will not in any way respect you, you slime bucket. And this is exactly WHY people visit NYC. Tourists come to Manhattan just to catch a whiff of the energy of being around people who are smarter, richer, and trendier than they are.

One would think, being such afficionados would allow them to recognize it as well. But that would require focusing on something other than themselves, of course. Oy.

There were a few people who would just stop on the sidewalk in front of me, and it was so annoying because you have hundreds of others behind you who are trying to get somewhere. I'd just map out where I wanted to go before I went out.

According to New York "Housewife" Bethenny Frankel (who isn't married), the argument started when O.C. Housewife Jeana Tomasina (formerly Keogh) didn't like the script that was given to the Housewives to say on stage. "They [The O.C. Housewives] said in our material that my apartment is a two-by-four, and it's actually a one-by-two, and so I can take it, I don't care," Frankel told PEOPLE. "But they're offended that I'm saying something about them living 65 miles from the beach. Jeana said, 'I don't think that's funny.'" From there relations between the ladies apparently got extremely chilly. Jill Zarin from the N.Y.C. cast said, "Bethenny gave a dressing down in the dressing room to one of the Housewives," but O.C. cast member Tamra Barney tells the story differently. Barney asserts that Frankel actually came after her physically: "Bethenny scratched me a little bit. I swear to god. She tried to get me from behind and I put my arm up, and she scratched me. I covered it with makeup." Later that evening Frankel denied that the catfight came to physical blows, but alluded to the fact that the argument was far from over. "Watch what happens," Frankel warned, adding: "Give me a can of hairspray and a match, and I'll take care of that in the dressing room later." The ladies from the O.C. cast seem prepared for the ensuing battle, though. Barney's response? "The Housewives of the O.C. can kick the Housewives of N.Y.C.'s ass!" http://tvwatch.people.com/2008/06/06/the-real-housewives-of-nyc-and-oc-catfight/

I live in LA now but when I go back home, I walk the streets and curse the people (mostly tourists) who don't understand how the walk them in the proper manner. I yell at them in my head "You Don't Belong Here! Get Out Of The Way! Go Back Home! You *Expletive!" I also hate seeing all the tour buses. I don't know which is worse - slow walking pedestrians or a bus load of gawking tourists.

I'm just surprised that it wasn't Tamra and Ramona in the girl fight! Jeana isn't taking shit from anyone.

Stop taking pictures in the middle of the sidewalk, don't walk four abreast on the sidewalks and don't stop in the middle of the sidwalks to chat about the fact that you are lost. Step aside! One of these days I'm going to knock someone over. Oh, and after you exit the turnstyle in the subway, MOVE! Also, on the subway escalators, the left side is for standing and the right side is for walking. If you aren't going to walk up the escalator steps, move to the right! You're holding everyone up.

I wanted to take it all in. of course, we can't stand yankees when they come down here. so it doesn't bother me when I'm hated up there. it's give and take. but yes, back to topic at hand!! A TURF WAR!! hot damn, pull up the lawn chairs, ethel. we got a front row view.

Born and raised in the Upper West Side, I now live in Forest Hills, I had to get out of Manhattan, mainly because of the tourists. I worked in the Graybar Building in Grand Central Station for 10 years. It was sheer tourist hell, coming to work, going to lunch, leaving work....I was 8 months pregnant and tourists were bouncing me around like a beach ball. They were clueless, so I decided I couldn't raise my child in such an atmosphere and moved to the peacefulness of Queens......NOT!

I love Manhatten. The energy, the people MOVING and not saundering around like a bunch of lost cows. People in the midwest have no where to go and all day to get there...drives me insane!

As bad as that is (and it is bad), it's just nothing compared to working in Times Square. I honestly believe there's no other place in the country that even comes close with the amount of tourists it gets. Like I said a few pages back... and still mean with every fiber of my being... I've never wanted to kill people more, than when I worked in Times Square. Last Edited By: Dani10 06/09/08 6:55 PM. Edited 1 times.

I just wanted to be small and out of the way and that was very hard to do. I was there with a native. he told me if I made eye contact with anyone, they would probably kill me. all I remember was being taller than everyone else, so there was no problem with the eye contact. HOWEVER, the cop horses in the middle of all that traffic fascinated me. I couldn't help myself from pointing. my friend decides to go into this porn shop and leaves me out on the street. so I walk into another store. the owner asks me what I want. I tell him nothing, I just want to look around. he asks me for what. nothing, I'm just trying to hide, and the fucker runs me out of his store. so I stand there on the street. hookers are trying to pick ME up. I'm only 18 and female and from texas, the politest state. I'm trying to gracefully turn these women down WITHOUT making eye contact. the word "ma'am" is just engrained into my childhood. I do have some friends now from new york, and they don't understand the word "ma'am". where I come from, if you didn't use it, you were beaten by every woman you passed. on the way out of there (we are driving), I'm looking through my friend's porn and happen to look up at this truck driver in the next lane, thoroughly enjoying the porn more than I was. I got so embarrassed, I just closed the magazine and turned it upside down on my lap. he starts laughing. I look down and the pic on the back cover was worse than anything I was looking at in the magazine. I got more embarrassed and more laughs from him. my friend was so entertained by all this exchange - fucker that he is. later that night, I'm in some neighborhood bar, drunk as shit, and someone asks where the cigarette machine is. (obviously this is YEARS ago). I stood up in all my young, blonde, texas glory and informed the entire bar that I'd never been fucking north of amarillo and I have no fucking idea where the fucking cigarrette machine is. for some reason, that made me very popular in that bar that night and I never bought another drink. that is my best memory of your fucking city. that and the food was out of this world. just so you know, I hate Houston too. as well as atlanta and denver. chicago, I never got out of the airport, but that part sucked as well.
