Today, getting off a bus, it was pouring rain so I got my umbrella out. A man elbowed me in the gut and grabbed it. When I told my mom about it she said, "That's New York, get over it." FML

No-one tried to help you? New York sucks.

Did you not nudge him back? Treat others as they treat you... or something like that ;)

You've got assholes everywhere Within my first week of moving to New York City, I was robbed (of a dollar). This was the south bronx. Years later, I moved to the suburb of Long Island (also New York City, but nobody admits it) went to let my neighbor know that his car lights were on and was greeted at the door by a man holding a gun, yelling at me to get off his property. In North Carolina, almost got run off the road by some asshat who decided to drive down the middle of a two lane road.

On a positive note, at least it was only your umbrella and not cash or credit cards.

she wont, but it'll be at least 5 dollars for a new imbrella.

way to perpetuate stereotypes. i've lived in NYC my whole, and im older than most on here. and this is NOT typical NYC behavior. In fact, in traveling the world, i've found that NYers. while moving at a faster pace, often mistaken for rudeness, are some of the most helpful and tolerant people i've come across anywhere. we need to be, living on top of each other as we do

As shi**y as it was, it could have been worse.
