NYC has different definitions of "polite" than other places, I think. <br /><br />When I moved from Glasgow (Scotland) to Texas, I spent about 6 months thinking that Texans are so rude... which horrifies Texans, who think they are the politest people on Earth! But again, it's just a difference in standards; what's polite in Texas isn't polite in Glasgow, and vice versa.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-62292446014180437202011-03-07T21:11:12.628-05:002011-03-07T21:11:12.628-05:00So sweet.

Maybe not all of it, but I'm definitely not as receptive to others as I used to be- and probably should still be.Michelle in a shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14631044089049410804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-76085260480845354762011-03-06T20:56:59.754-05:002011-03-06T20:56:59.754-05:00You've just won an award!

I started carrying a couple of dollars in quarters with me not long after I moved here because people are always asking for bus fare.
