You have yelled at a car knowing full well they can't hear you.

..hating Boston comes naturally yo...

push people without apologizing

You gotta wear an oxygen mask and tank when you go out. >_>

When watching out your window is more entertaining then the action movie on television.

You have 27 different menus next to your telephone.

You do every thing in a New York minute. +5

When you call the local convenience store a Bodega.

You visit Hollywood

You argue that ALL fries are New York Fries.

When you say New Yawk instead of New York.

You aren't alarmed by people talking on the cell phone,nd there's no cell phone.

When parallel parking consists of backing into the empty spot until you hit and slightly push the car behind you. Then you do the same to the one in front of you. You repeat this until you have successfully managed to finagle your car into the parking spot. Been there, seen it done repeatedly. Couldn't believe the first time. Maybe this happens in other large cities, but I've only seen it done in New York City. Anyone feel free to inform me if it also happens where you live.

You stress that you are from upstate, Nobody wants to be associated with the Rotten apple.

Are you from NY swami? Thought you were from Liverpool?

You yell at anyone who honks the horn at you. Road rage definitely is a given, New York born and raised.

you can't eat bagels or pizza out of state

standing on the curb in Los Angeles you shout "Where are all the F....g cabs?"

THE YANKEES BLOW BIG TIME!!!!

You know most the stereotypes about NY aren't true.

you can out-drive a "cabbie" !

people know EXACTLY where you are from JUST by your New York accent. =)

you stop having to drive as far as Las Vegas Or Atlantic city.

You have become friends with the homeless people you see as you walk to work everyday and you're disappointed when you don't see them.

you live in New York????

you tell people to f*** off. Hell, that's a NY greeting but southerners don't take well to it

you say shopping "cahr" not cart.

When you ignore a dying person on the street corner

You wish you lived somewhere else but know damn well you'll always have the city in you.

You're 35 years old and don't have a driver's license. You ride in a subway car with no air conditioning just because there are seats available. You take the train home and you know exactly where on the platform the doors will open that will leave you right in front of the exit stairway. You know what a "regular" coffee is. It's not Manhattan...... It's the "city". There is no north and south. It's "uptown" or "downtown." If you're really from New York you have absolutely no concept of where north and south are.... And east or west is "crosstown." You cross the street anywhere but on the corners and you yell at cars for not respecting your right to do it. You move 3,000 miles away, spend 10 years learning the local language and people still know you're from Brooklyn the minute you open your mouth. You return after 10 years and the first foods you want are a "real" pizza and a "real" bagel. You wouldn't bother ordering pizza in any other city. You get ready to order dinner every night and must choose from the major food groups which are: Chinese, Italian, Mexican or Indian. You're not the least bit interested in going to Times Square on New Year's eve. You know what a bodega is. Someone bumps into you, and you check for your wallet. You don't even notice the lady walking down the road having a perfectly normal conversation with herself. You cringe at hearing people pronounce Houston street like the city in Texas. The presidential visit is a major traffic jam, not an honor. You can nap on the subway and never miss your stop.

You are sophisticated, classy and cool!

you order a cawwwwwwffeeeee instead of a coffee! :-/ who knows? Lol......
