...when a kindly passerby tips his hat to you and you check to see if you're missing yours

...when the mta makes another incomprehensible, muffled announcement on the PA system and you know they're lying

...when the mta threatens to raise fares each year and you threaten to find a cheaper way of getting to work

...when you believe that a vehicle has right of way at a pedestrian crossing with a walk sign on

...when a walk in central park is an outing in the country

[Fred314X]

...When someone makes a disparaging comment about New York City, and the little hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

-you go out of town and everyone says you tawk with a NY accent.
-When someone on the train actually says excuse me to try and get by you, and you look at them like their crazy
-your out of town and everything around you is closing by 7pm
-your order a heineken at the bar, once the bartender tells you $7 dollars you complain that you could have stayed home and brought a 6pack for $9 bucks, lol...

...when you speed past a celiberty with little thought because you need to get down the subway steps in time to catch the downtown No. 6 train before the doors close.

-When you're in another city @ a stop light, turns green no horns are blaring. Everyone just sits there and wait for you to move until the light turns red again.
-When you drive in the right turn only lane to get in front of heavy traffic.
-When you wonder why people go out of their way to say hi, you think they are crazy or looking for some attention.
-When you've been away for a very long time and just can't wait to get back to NY because no where else in the world can compare and you appreciate our home state a whole lot more. I LOVE NEW YORK!

- When you drive 70 in a 45
- When you are used to watching taxis make left turns from the right lane across 4 lanes of traffic on 6th Avenue
- When you know to avoid the Gowanus like the plague (4th Ave. isn't much better) since it's been under construction since the beginning of time with no end in sight
- When you enjoy driving over a newly paved street only to have Con Ed come back two weeks later and rip it all up
- When you cross the street from the middle of the block instead at the corners
- When you know where all the cheap bars are
