What's the worst thing about New Yorkers?

Our assumption that we know the outer limits of human emotion and experience better than the rest of the country. So we think our happiness on the first day of fall is better than anywhere else and our misery because it's February and the subway broke down is worse than anyone else's commute. Or we go to the wrong part of Detroit and think, "eh, how dangerous could it be, I'm from New York!" The answer is very. And very for all of it. Perfectly smart and cool people are just as likely to be blissfully happy, completely miserable and definitely get jacked in other cities.
