NYC is getting worse and worse as people from countries with horrible traffic laws (or disregard for those laws) show up here and do as they did at home. The arrogance and ignorance is too much to ignore. And don't give me any nonsense about having an open mind, because I've been in the exact opposite situation and never once expected an established culture to put up with my nonsense just because it was the way I did it at home.
I get it, funny to the observer, but not to the receiver. I'm sure I wouldn't have enjoyed it either. (Then again I wouldn't have been bold enough to say anything, just let them ride past and away from me). Unfortunately liberty includes liberty to be a jerk, and sometimes non-jerks have to suffer through, be the bigger man, take the high road, etc.
