What amazes me about New York City is considering how busy it is and how busy the people are that most of the time people on the street move like a well oiled machine in perfect motion with nobody ever bumping into anybody else. For a city which gets this rap of rudeness, i personally think the fact that people do anything in their power to not touch other people is pretty remarkable. People dart across streets, over sidewalks, up and down subway stairs and there is almost never a collission as it almost appears to be a syncronized dance. The sidewalk is the most impressive sight, especially at about 8:30AM when people are fresh and aware, it's the antithesis of bumper-cars. What thisalways reminds me of is that VISA commercial where all those people are moving in perfect syncronization until the one guy wants to pay with cash and before you know it two chicks are spilling coffee on each-other, some dog gets its tail stepped on and some dude bumps into another guys ass with his crotch and both have one of those weird looks on their faces.
Well this is what happens in NYC all the time when some hot chicks walks down in a mini-skirts and hell breaks loose. Before you know it Bike Messengers are running into pot-holes, chicks are getting their heels stuck in the sidewalk and dudes are walking face-first into telephone lamps.
The only thing worse than this is when some camera toting tourist decides to venture onto the busy sidewalk and then the entire machine breaks. It's not that I hate tourist or tourism but I hate when people get in front of me and slow me down, I feel like we need a handicap lane for people with a Missouri, Hawaii or Oregon driver's license.
