I was in Queens yesterday on Ditmars blvd and around 33rd st and I wasn't really feeling the people, I don't what it was but it was a completely different vibe than when I'm in the Bronx or Brooklyn. I live in the city and you're right, most of us are willing to help someone with directions.

So you're saying you asked directions and were ignored? I'm not sure what this post is saying.
Also I find the whole thread pretty entertaining and quite ridiculous. It's ok to bash a whole borough because you asked a few people directions and didn't get the answer you wanted? And you're trying to say that you're so kind and so nice and so friendly blah blah at the same time you are accusing an entire borough of some personality deficiency. hmm.

Of course your gonna get a different vibe in that part of queens for one most people in that part of queens are transplants and hipsters and not native queens residents of astoria.
You can't blame it on that. I live in Manhattan which is full of more transplants than Astoria and I feel the same friendly vibe in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn than I did in Astoria. I was uncomfortable there and I've never felt that way in any of the other neighborhoods in the other boroughs. I'm just commenting on my own experience in Astoria and I am not judging the whole borough of Queens.

Just my point. Sometimes if you speak to them long enough you can pinpoint their part of Queens or Long Island. Just from the attitude.
From the OP, you did seem to always retaliate by saying you don't know Queens, you are from Bronx. They might have made things worse since whenever you say you are from Bronx, you think you are tougher than your adversary. Thats just the feeling I get. haha
People are mostly selfish and greedy (nowadays). Yes me too, . . but I fight it.
But people can't be honest about it. It's America, ....... hello.
It's because of the times we are living in, . . now more than ever (I won't get into it)
that people are like that. Lots of people live in fear and desperation.
Once you enter the playing field all you are focused on is your needs : ME ME ME
This is just the way it is and you'd have to be a fool to deny it.
So it's not a question of Bronx or Queens "people".
If a person is going to get a chance to move out of the Bronx (more like run out)
and into Queens or wherever it is better, they will.
And then they become snobs?

Nobody is running out of pelham,city island riverdale etc into queens
To the OP: I'm from the Bronx as well and been living in Queens for the past 2 years and yea I have noticed the attitude difference. Where I live in particular (Springfield Gardens/Laurelton/SE Queens...whatever u wanna call it), I constantly run into two categories of people. "Middle-class snobs"; people who act bougie because they make $15/hr and happen to drive a newer car they can barely afford lol. Like some people (particularly women) treated me funny when I tell them I take the bus everywhere and I don't plan on getting a car anytime soon. (Haven't exp'd this in places like the NE Bronx which has a similar layout to SE Queens)
The 2nd category I constantly run into are the "suburban gangsters"...it seems like the youth around here are so desperate to prove that they're tough and have street cred, because, let's face it, Queens never really had a rough reputation like say Brooklyn or the Bronx and apparently a lot of people in my area have an issue with that and hence the extra ghetto attitude I get around here sometimes compared to the Bronx where it's more of a "Don't mess with me and I won't mess with you, otherwise we're cool" kinda vibe-- like I said it's really weird.
