Everyone putting NYC makes me laugh. I recently lived on Staten Island and my kids were born there, family in Queens and Brooklyn, mother born in the Bronx, cousins and friends in Manhattan. Staten Island is basically the suburbs with better food. The Bronxs can get pretty heavy if you act like everyone is out to get you and put up a face. Brooklyn is cool if you can mind your own business, Queens is pretty family oriented and Manhattan is just a good time. If you're "sizing someone up" at a gas station, you either have some self confidence issues or too much time on your hands.

Okay but those are your experiences. Some of my experiences in Queens weren't "pretty family oriented". And you can laugh all you want.
However this is thread is a joke, I laughed myself.
What cities are just straight up tough. Were if you go to a gas station theres gonna be sum goon sizing you up. Only major cities please. TY
Not a "major" city but I spent a week in Fargo on business and those big Norwegian farm kids were the toughest SOBs I ever saw. Saw a fight break out at a 7-Eleven one night when I was there to get some Red Bull and lighter fluid between two groups of kids on tractors and some jv football players from NDSU. Near as I could tell the fight started because the farm kids thought one of the NDSU students dissed his tractor. Even tho those farm kids were outnumbered about 4-to-1, they beat those students 8 different ways and one of them hacked off one of the football players ear with a gigantic chaff knife and ate it. Cops showed up but all they did was tell the NDSU students to stay in their dorms until harvest season was over.
Yep, I vote that too - unemployed, broke as hell and hanging around a gas station with nothing better to do.
Lots of time on their hands but NOTHING to lose..
Exactly. The unemployed never have anything to do, ever. Drive through a poor section of a city at 1 AM, and there will be a bunch of people just walking around, doing nothing. Why? They don't have to go to WORK the next morning, so they have no need to sleep. So, they go outside and stir up trouble. Like 'sizing up people' at gas stations. :P
