- inactive, on 07/29/2008, -11/+402the guy who wrote this sounds like quite a douchebag himself..
- casspa, on 07/28/2008, -4/+248Great list, but as someone who lives in NYC I must admit they could make a better list of "How not to piss of the rest of the world when you travel outside of NYC."
- nsummy, on 07/29/2008, -9/+202"Tipping: It might be acceptable to tip a dollar regardless of the bill in the rest of the country, but a thing like that could get you killed in New York."
This guy is the douchebag. I bet he got his ass kicked daily in some nyc school and now wants to make the city sound a lot harder than it is. - wazzledoozle2, on 07/29/2008, -27/+211Hey, when in Rome!
Acting like a douchebag will make you fit right in, in NYC. - fs88, on 07/29/2008, -6/+160Most tourists are going to be douchebags no way you can change that. This guy needs to get over himself. You're not that cool because you live in NYC.
- CobaltBlue, on 07/29/2008, -6/+154This article sounds like it was written by a douchebag who just moved to NYC and is a little too smug about it.
- maehem, on 07/29/2008, -12/+105Since everyone in NYC is a douchebag, shouldn't the headline simply be "How not to be a tourist in NYC"?
- bratterscain, on 07/28/2008, -6/+99Interesting, though after reading that I would probably consider most tourists from NYC douchebags if they behaved like that anywhere else in the US.
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -10/+102great tips though you must keep in mind tourism is one of the many reasons the city thrives and 'never sleeps'.
- browwiw, on 07/29/2008, -12/+102Real Rule Number 1 to being a tourist in New York: don't
Apparently, New York is full of asshats who call tourists douchebags and don't appreciate the money they bring into the city economy. Apparently, living a lifetime in the unnatural state of a city that large has turned them into cosmopolitan ***** that don't realize how shallow and socially inept they are. - Phr00tage, on 07/29/2008, -7/+94Buried for being douchebags
- sluggoo, on 07/29/2008, -5/+87Some of this is good "Don't be a douchebag in NYC" advice.
But some of it is "Man, whoever wrote this is a real douchebag, too." - dhVyse, on 07/29/2008, -0/+82Great tips? The guy who wrote this is more of a douchebag then most tourists, imo. New Yorkers don't wear shorts? Really? It gets ***** hot in NY in the summer man.
- Haoie, on 07/28/2008, -6/+85Applies to many major other urbanised cities, really.
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -12/+87"How not to look like a fat American ***** in Europe."
- ArchivalQuality, on 07/29/2008, -13/+82How not to be a douchebag New Yorker: Stop acting like you're city and residents are the pinnacle of human achievement.
- digggggggggg, on 07/29/2008, -4/+66"New Yorkers don’t wear shorts and only chicks wear sandals, so stick with long pants, jeans, and dark color shirts"
Well there go my white tee, shorts and sandals. Remind me to never wind up there. - dashdingo, on 07/29/2008, -7/+67Wow, people from NYC sound like total douchebags.
- crazzy88ss, on 07/29/2008, -6/+64He's a NYer...
- browwiw, on 07/29/2008, -4/+60Actually, he sounds like a disgruntled waiter who is an 'actor' or 'working on a script' and is trying to trick people into tipping his sorry ass. Shoulda stayed home in Nebraska where you were somebody.
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -14/+68This is why I hate Times Square.
- conblex, on 07/29/2008, -8/+63Unwritten rule: If your not gona walk up a escalator stay on the right side... *****
- inactive, on 07/29/2008, -7/+57nyc needs to smoke a j and chill out
- addicted68098, on 07/29/2008, -1/+50Use a new Zealand accent
- VegasKill, on 07/29/2008, -8/+53Just do what Borat does.
- CobaltBlue, on 07/29/2008, -6/+50well, are you just the cutest little hard core new yorker! Cootchie cootchie coo.
- winmywii, on 07/29/2008, -3/+47Not that I ever wanted to move to New York, but why do people want to put up with this ***** all the time?
- RobotKeaton, on 07/29/2008, -2/+46Wear a fanny pack.
- wootmacs, on 07/29/2008, -4/+47Did the author of this get beat up as a child in NYC or something?
- roxymartini, on 07/29/2008, -7/+50haha, why bother when new yorkers are the biggest douchebags?
are you really so busy that you can't walk around a little 12 year old girl who is walking too slowly? because your time is so precious and limited that it's worthwhile to spend a minute screaming profanities at a little girl rather than skirting around her, which would take no extra time at all? my point exactly. douchebags. - PopcornDave, on 07/29/2008, -1/+44The same reason fat chicks hang around with attractive chicks. They think some of the sexy is going to rub off on them. Never does.
- Scaryclouds, on 07/29/2008, -4/+46When he started getting into the whole "don't expect us to plan your vacation because we are New Yorkers and WE are too ***** busy" that pretty much lost the article for me. I'm sorry New York and those who live there, but the world doesn't ***** revolve around you and people outside of New York and the East Coast can also be busy! I like to see this author's ass work full time and take three 8-week classes at the same time and then bitch about how busy his schedule use to be. Hell I don't even bitch about my schedule that much because I know people have it far tougher than I do.
- wooFmeoWoinK, on 07/29/2008, -16/+54Yankees suck.
- ngmcs8203, on 07/29/2008, -5/+39In what part of the US is it "acceptable" to tip $1 no matter what the bill? Yea, it's accepted since a tip is a "tip" but you look like a jerk when a waiter works his ass off for a $50 meal and all you leave is $1.
- StanleyKoolPrik, on 07/29/2008, -21/+51***** you and ***** NY.
- Edgen22, on 07/29/2008, -2/+33hey... I live in Nebraska... :(
- Duffalpha, on 07/29/2008, -1/+32And/or say you're from Canada.
- calcio0fan, on 07/29/2008, -2/+31Money, status, fast pace, tons of ***** to do, whatever else
- WhiteIce89, on 07/29/2008, -0/+27Thanks Co-Ed Magazine for generalizing us all into a bunch of cold, smug pricks.
BTW, we are not. - inactive, on 07/29/2008, -1/+28When in hawaii, do the exact opposite of what was said in that blog. Except for #`1. Ride the bus. It also goes every where here.
And remember the state Aloha Law. (yes, it is real) . - username7410, on 07/29/2008, -16/+41***** you New York.
- Xspire, on 07/29/2008, -0/+24What are you talking about? In the rest of the country, the douchebag would be the person who expects all tourists to act like this. I will say though, some of these are good tips, but make sense for everywhere, not just New York.
- inactive, on 07/29/2008, -2/+25YOUR!
- mnky9800n, on 07/29/2008, -5/+27I totally agree. As a person, I am allowed to act whatever way I feel like it as long as it doesn't break any laws, and if that means I want to stop in a strange city and look up at the interesting architecture of a building the author doesn't have time to appreciate, then so be it.
- thebuggalo, on 07/29/2008, -1/+23Yeah, I dunno what he is talking about there. It's ***** hot here in the summer. I'm wearing shorts and sandals when it's in the 90s, and i see plenty of other NYers doing it to. So dress how you want.
But seriously, no crocs. - browwiw, on 07/29/2008, -1/+23Then be happy. You're still somebody.
- edwartica, on 07/29/2008, -3/+24Yeah, what the hell is this about? Who gives a ***** what anyone else wears? If New Yorkers are that shallow, then they need a flock of tourists in crocs, shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and nascar caps to invade.
- talli, on 07/29/2008, -1/+22Most of this is true, particularly about how we're happy to help you as long as you don't slow us down needlessly.
That being said, the dress code part is *****. If you're from out of town we can tell, but as a friend of mine once pointed out, "It's NYC. You can anything as long as you own it." - inactive, on 07/29/2008, -2/+21"GED OFF DA FOCKIN ROAD JERK YA BADERIN ME!"
