What Annoys New Yorkers The Most?

=v= In real live research, the kind where people are surveyed and provide their own answers, horn-honking and car alarms top the list. This is just a dumb unscientific poll cooked up by "journalists" at the Post, strictly for entertainment purposes.

I'll be honest, I don't have it in me to hate on hipsters. They've made it fashionably acceptable to wear a cheap cotton V-neck, drink cheap PBR and not shave - essentially, the least required effort possible. As a man, I appreciate the simplicity.

Why aren't Justin Beaver and Jersey Shore added to the list of annoyances?

Fast food/ starbuck joints who rush you to make up your mind about your order when there is no one behind you.

Im like chill, theres enough time obviously u work here.

Hi, allow me to introduce myself - I am a person that stands in the subway door spot.

I have ridden the subway daily since I was 12 and see nothing wrong with it. I always have my daily subway route pretty memorized so I stand where the door opens least often. On some routes I´ll know when to switch door sides to avoid being at the open one.

If I can´t switch from one door spot to another due to it being occupied, I´ll turn 90 degrees when the door opens. There is a small crease there so I´m barely obstructing anyone entering (I´ḿ not fat).

Obviously, during rush hour I just move to the middle with everyone else because personal preference is thrown out the window in such situations.

I sometimes have conflicts with other passengers when they want to get to the door while the train is moving, as if they are in a race and desperately need to be the first one out the gate.

I almost get annoyed at them, but I remember that when I was like that it was because I worked at a job I hated terribly and just wanted to get everywhere immediately. I quit the terrible job and then learned to stop rushing around like such an asshole.

Itś a gentle conflict, because they would like me to move my hand that is keeping my balance or somehow get out of their way while the train is moving and I would prefer to wait until the train has stopped.

Sometimes, while standing in the door spot, a gathering of people approaching as if it is a race line and a gun is about to go off appear before me. A lot of them look tensely at me, concerned I will not get out of their way as quickly as they like. When the train stops I turn to my side and everyone is able to get by me easily, or I step out and off to the side one step so the same is accomplished. But I really enjoy staring at the horribly tense, miserable faces queued up in the moments right before.

In conclusion, I´d like to add that based on your above comments, most of you seem like obnoxious, snarky assholes. So knowing that you seeing me standing at the door makes you feel poorly gives me a little bit of happiness. I mean, you all seem pretty unhappy anyway, but I´m happy I can add to it just a little bit.

There's a recent and very annoying trend in Carroll Gardens, and now in Park Slope, of people walking out into the street and paying no attention at all to oncoming traffic. This has kind of always been the case with snotty school kids, but now it seems like everyone's in on it. Even people pushing baby carriages. One guy put his hand up at me once all indigent. I had the green light. I have this secret fantasy of getting out of my car, making a citizen's arrest and calling child services on these people. Man, that would make my day.

Dude, that annoying pedestrian indifference/arrogance is not confined to those parts of Brooklyn, but is citywide. I drive all the time, all over the city, and it's widespread. But it's in keeping with the general decline in civility in our society. Ha ha, wow, your fantasy is tame...I simply content myself with the belief (hope) that one day, people like that will get their comeuppance...only that I won't have the satisfaction of being present when some less sane person, unable to contain their rage, sends them flying 100 feet from where they last walked.

Biggest annoyance has got to be people who insist on walking on the left side of crowded staircases and sidewalks instead of keeping to the right. I also hate the people who walk really slowly up the middle of a narrow staircase, so that everyone behind them is blocked in and has to walk at their agonizingly slow pace. Is it so hard to move to the right and let other people pass? I also hate the cutesy nick-names that some people use for various neighborhoods. Billyburg, ugh. It's not even shorter than Williamsburg, it's the same number of syllables, but it sounds like revolting baby-talk. I would be happy if I never heard cutesy nick-names like DUMBO, FiDi or MePa again.

+ 1. "Billyburg" and all the other cutenesses drive me crazy, and they reek of "I'm-not-from-here-but-the-other-Huns-and-I-have-renamed-and-claimed-your-hood"-ness. Someone referred to the area south of Joralemon Street (which changes from Brooklyn Heights to Cobble Hill in just 2 blocks) as "SoJo," and in my elevator at work, someone was telling a coworker that he lives in SoBro. When he was asked where that is, he said, "I think they used to call it the South Bronx." And say what you want -- those of us who have been around here forever or nearly that long, are not that thrilled that, for example, Lee Avenue has lost so many great bakeries/shops/delis to random Mommy-and-Me-from-elsewhere or Yoga places. Greenpoint was a place I loved for traditional Polish foods/atmosphere and some good Italian restaurants. I'm from Brooklyn Heights (lifelong), and I have a deep respect for ethnic neighborhoods and wish they could remain what they are. The idea that outsiders (yeah, I do use that term) have swooped through so many unique neighborhoods and, almost literally, wrecked them, is unfortunate. Way to go, Others. Way to go.

oh.

i always do that.

if people learned how to share, there wouldn't be a fucking problem.

Do what? Walk on the left side of the sidewalk? Then you're the one that needs to learn how to share, dingbat. That's your share of the sidewalk--the right side. Or does "share" mean to you that you get to take what you want and everyone else gets to take what's left? Rdayk is absolutely right--expecting others to run a slalom course down the sidewalk to avoid people like you wandering every which way is selfish and rude.

staircase.

read and calm the fuck down.

Read what? The part where you replied "Oh, I do that" to a list of like 4 different annoying things? In any case, everything I wrote applies equally to the stairs. So BE CLEAR, keep to the right, and shut the fuck up.

wtf?!

you're passionate about stairs and sidewalks...

my ass can walk wherever it feels like walking and so can yours.

1) I hate any self-absorbed asshole typing away on a blackberry or iphone and not paying attention to the fact that they are walking right for you or blocking the sidewalk. I prefer to aim for them and clip them in the shoulder.

2) I hate groups of coworkers who walk slowly side by side on narrow midtown sidewalks at lunch. Fuck off and move, the rest of us are hungry too!

3) I hate tourists who come all the way to NYC and go to fucking Red Lobster, McDonalds or fucking Applebees. Here's a dollar - buy some guts and try something new. You're in the best fucking city on the planet. Live it up!

1) Traffic cops

2) Stinky hotdog carts

3) Tousists with expensive cameras snapping pics of graffiti, neon signs and billboards. WTF you never seen a McD?

Tourists and tip jars.

Can we add to the list - People Who Think the Insult "Skinny-Pants Hipster" is Clever?

Add to the list people who call Wall Street "FiDi".

that's funny...the people who block the subway doors are probably the

same borderline retards that actually read the nypost.

I was late for a dinner at Ma Peche last Saturday evening, and parked off 5th. I swear, I almost cursed out some tourists walking 4 abreast.

Okay, I may be an idiot, but take pity on me and help anyway: what does "blocking the box" mean?

The box = street intersection. So, blocking the box means you advanced into the intersection while you still had the green but got stuck there after the light changed because the traffic didn't move ahead. Not only is it an annoyance, but it's also illegal. You are supposed to hang back behind the crosswalk until there's space for you to advance to the other side of the street. Make sense?

i hate everything in new york, and that's the (only) thing that makes me really happy. :)

shit, that sounds emo from another angle... let's try again:

i'm happy because everything's so fucked up.

...ugh, why can't my fingers connect with my thoughts today? last try:

everything's shit. i'm really fine. ecstatic, even.

Can't believe no one mentioned Justin Bieber haha.

what really annoys me are when cars are sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on their way into the lincoln tunnel (on 9th or 11th ave), and there is clearly no possibility of any movement happening...yet they lay on their horns. all of them. for minutes at a time.

yes! also, children screaming on the subway. Shut. Them. Up.

when it was filled with indians.

New Yorkers need to come to terms with the fact that everything on the above list of annoyances can be attributed to one thing- the people. New Yorkers are what is annoying about New York. Every NYC subculture I can think of...

-the hipsters

-the douchey club crowd

-pretentious transplants

-disgruntled locals

-the Wall Street type

...just to name a few.

Cyclists, cabbies/drivers, pedestrians all complain about each other and their inability to coexist but they all lack a sense self-awareness and any semblance of etiquette. This deficiency is true for New Yorkers as a whole, and always has been. But at one time, there was at least a large community of creative types that was attracted to NY, that actually contributed to the culture of the city. Sadly, the artists that made this such a vibrant city in the past have all been displaced by people who watched Sex in the City from their podunk towns. All that's left is a bunch of miserable, irrational people with no manners living in a very expensive city. The saddest part is that everyone in NY tries so hard to convince themselves that they're better off.

Weren't there these groups of people (or their equivalent) always in the city? When was it filled with hopeful, positive, polite creative people and nothing else?

"Hopeful, positive and creative" is what the city was twenty years ago, at any given point in its history. Today's vile hipster is tomorrow's bygone youth subculture. Today's obnoxious transplant is tomorrow's obnoxious native. Turn, turn, turn.

I said that the creative types that were once a huge part of the NYC community have been displaced. I never said that they were the only ones living in the city. Yes, the groups I mentioned were always in NY. That was my point.

I hate stupid ass bicyclists who think the city is their race course. Most of them really need a good ass kicking from the pedestrians they nearly kill everyday.

Nearly kill everday? As opposed to people actually getting killed in the city by cars/drivers.

You have a whacked out sense of perspective/logic.

"Yeah, I really can't stand those potato salads that might be infected but actually aren't. It's terrible so many kids have asthma. I hate potato salad."

They should have been more specific when it comes to the bike delivery guys. My vote would definitely go to bike delivery guys ON SIDEWALKS. I almost got run down by one coming up behind me yesterday. Stealth. No heads-up whistle, bell, nuthin'. And no, I was not wearing headphones.

Or they could have also specified "bike delivery guys going AGAINST traffic (especially in a bike lane)" they are a nightmare for cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists alike

People who take two seats in a crowded subway car, and loud cell phone users.

I'm glad to see so many Gothamisti not hating on the tourists. I'd rather get behind a hundred sightseers enjoying the city than another lunatic cyclists hollering his lungs out at all the tourists on the Brooklyn Bridge.

As for the subway scofflaws, just once, I want to shove one of them onto the platform just as the doors are closing. Of course, with all the other assholes blocking the doors, they'd probably just open up again and I'd get the shit kicked out of me. God, grant me the serenity . . .

What's up with all these tourists anyway? It's called an iphone with google maps bitch! I've never been lost since I got this life changing piece of gadgetry. combine the apps visualmap, yelp, and sitorsquat and you can find any bathroom, any restaurant, and do all the things you want to do fast.

unless youre from another country, cause then you know it's like $20 a second to use your phone. I can't use my iphone for anything useful in Europe without paying for either a special global feature that's like $30 a month to then get a discounted $4 a MB rate or spending $20 per MB. And if you're from the midwest you're still using the Nextel walkie talkie phone and think the internet is AOL.

Oh, you're a treasure. Have you met ides_of_march? I think I hear wedding bells!

I know! We're like the original odd couple!

Interesting. Subway dawdlers, street dawdlers and cabbies speaking in foreign dialects while taking us to our boite. How rude? We would have thought, the rents, the strange people we have to share the elevators with (but then again I live in a building where there is rampant drug dealing..oh well) and all that baloney about how fantastic everyone in NY is.

How can you not like a hipster not wearing a scarf in the middle of summer? It’s part of the mock irony of 8 million people congregating in a city for that sliver of fame, stardom and a hard wad of cash.

http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2010/08/what-annoys-new-yorkers-the-most/

With all the complaining nobody seems to move out. Apartment vacancies in Manhattan are still around 2%.

Ha, the Elmo and Snowman from one of the Dyker Heights Christmas lights houses.

Most annoying thing about NYC: Bad parents "raising" another generation of future bad parents.

I know this applies to most of planet Earth, but its just so obvious here.

What about the canvassers? I almost always wear headphones now so that I don't have to interact with them.

People on the train listening: a) to their ipods blasted so loud that everyone on the car can hear or b) listening to music on speakerphone on their cell phones.

People standing on the stairway of the subway and talking on their cellphones. Really annoying.

Top 10 things that upset me about NYC

1- Bloomberg - for catering to the rich and tourists and not giving a fuck about the vast majority of New Yorkers.

2- Rising crime - NYC is starting to go back the bad old days and nothing is being done to stop it besides ineffective "Stop & Frisks"

3- Ray Kelly & the NYPD - for allowing crime to rise again but cracking down on stupidity

4- Gentrification - Too many lifelong NYers being forced to leave their communities so more affluent transplants can move in and even the ones who manage to stay can't afford to enjoy this city.

5- Rising racism - Hate crimes on the rise in NYC and the growing division in this city

6- Public Education is failing - The next generation of NYers are being short changed while Joel Klein and Bloomberg continue to play with the tests or grading systems to make them look favorable instead of finding better ways to teach.

7- High Taxes - Bloomberg hasn't seen a regressive tax he doesn't like but the minute you mention taxes on the wealthy or corporations he goes ape shit.

8 - Nanny Politics - No smoking, no salt, no trans fat, no sugar, etc. I don't need politicians trying to control my life via taxation. I'm against anything that takes away my freedom whether I exercise that freedom or not.

9- Politicians - from the City Council to Albany, they're all a bunch of opportunists, playing politics with our future. Let's get rid of them all.

10- Whining NYers - Complaining about everything, no solutions just bitching and complaining. Complaining about the most trivial bullshit, the tourists or Mr.Softee trucks or street fairs or drivers or bike riders or Hipsters or transplants or whatever the media feeds them that week.

But above it all I still love New York.

Slow-walking tourists don't bother me. They actually walk slow enough for anybody to easily walk around them. They're harmless and I don't mind them.

I do mind what I call middle-walkers. These are people who walk at a middle-pace and walk a wobbly path in the middle of the sidewalk. They think they're the only person on the sidewalk. Not slow enough to easily pass them, and not fast enough to not bother you. When you try to pass on the left, they wander left. An attempt for the right gets you blocked again. These walkers are a hundred times more annoying than any tourist.

Noise. They forgot noise.

How's 'bout self-absorbed and self-entitled hipsters? Am I being redundant BTW?

The "tip jars everywhere" choice is not New York-specific, it applies pretty much everywhere.

The people who block the doors don't read Gothamist OR the Post for that matter. In fact, I'm not sure they CAN read.

Breffny? Seriously?

I would like to acknowledge that when New Yorkers go on vacation to other major cities, they, as tourists, also walk slow, look at maps in the middle of the sidewalk, block subway doors, and annoy the people trying to get to work.

Actually, we don't. We step to the curb to stop - not right in the middle of the sidewalk, move all the way into the middle of the car of whatever metro we're riding, and often walk faster than the inhabitants of those cities. We're remarkably excellent ambassadors for rush-hour etiquette as tourists. I can't however talk for recent transplants to NYC as they're all a bunch of StrapHangers-In-Training ($HITs).

I think it's funny that NYers think they're some kind of seperate species to everyone else, like when they think only tourists block the sidewalk with their map-reading. I'm sure for every side-walk blocking tourist, there is some idiot NYer strolling around looking at his/her blackberry and expecting other people to move for them. At least the tourist has the excuse of not being familiar with how busy NYC can be.

Personally, my biggest peeve is terrible drivers (not just box-blocking, but general poor driving - going too fast/slow, zero lane-discipline, etc. Thankfully I don't drive often). And also the litter and dirt everywhere.

Wow, did you do some kind of detailed study of "Behavior of New Yorkers in foreign places" to enable you to speak with such authority on how they all act?

I'd add people who litter. Whether it's throwing cigarettes on the sidewalk, leaving empty food containers on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade (a daily occurrence) or dropping a used tissue on the floor in the subway, these people contribute to a lower quality of life in NYC.

I'd also throw in the people who clip their nails on the subway and loud, obnoxious cell phone talkers in restaurants.

in other words, nypost reading morons.

THANK YOU! Littering is still such a problem here and it is depressing. Also, nail clipping in public is horrendous. I just cannot understand how someone convinces themselves that it's appropriate behavior outside the home.

I also agree with the poster who commented on bad parenting. I see so many abused and neglected kids in this city (and, on the flip side, those spoiled ones who get away with everything and have no concept of boundaries and structure). Why have kids if you're going to treat them that way? So selfish.

As for door blockers, the ones I hate most are the ones waiting on the platform to get on the train. I just walked right into some idiotic kid who was doing that the other day as I exited and he seemed shocked. Where did you expect me to go, a-hole?

Oh, and urine all over toilet seats. Then again, this seems to be a problem all over America. Disgusting and confusing. Do people still think they're going to get AIDS from a toilet seat?

Yep, litterbugs.

Isn't "people who litter" just synonymous with "blacks"?

What about pedestrians on their cellphones that walk into you? No longer is the mugger my principle fear.

Edit: kudos to poster above for mentioning first

uhhh, no. There are white, hispanic, asian, black, and mixed race assholes blocking the doors.

:\ Come on....

haha bullish beat me, but you whine for 9 points and then describe yourself to a T! Well done!

This is for DOA FLOATER, bullishnyc, and kazubes I'm sorry you did not understand my post but the point is that there are bigger problems to consider or worry about in NYC than a slow tourist, or the subway doors being held up a few seconds, or the loud cell phone talkers, or what Hipsters are wearing, etc.. Please compare any of these with anything on my list and you'll see what I'm talking about. How can you compare these petty, trivial annoyances with Crime, Racism, Education, Gentrification, Taxes, and Government?

Let's focus on real issues that make a difference instead of stupidity with no solutions and if I have to spell out what the solutions are to my problems then please reenroll in the 4th grade.

The media really takes you guys for a ride everyday and you guys fall for it every time!

They give you these issues to debate about, issues with no possible solutions and just sit back and watch everyone go crazy, if it wasn't so sad it would be comical.

Slow Tourists is such a problem, so what's the solution? You want to stop tourism in NYC?

People who block doors, so what's the solution? Subway doors that cut off people's limbs if they get caught on them, I guess.

Hipsters. Who gives a fuck what someone else is wearing or how they live their lives. What's the solution? ban Hipsters from NYC? Come on!

Again, here are the real issues we should be focused on:

POLITICIANS & GOVERNMENT

CRIME

GENTRIFICATION

RACISM

TAXES

PUBLIC EDUCATION

And every one of those issues have solutions,

"Whining NYers - Complaining about everything, no solutions just bitching and complaining." Really? So what do you call your whiney list? I don't see you proposing solutions.

I'm a New Yorker. Want a solution? Pay me, mofo. Otherwise, I'll bitch and you'll like it.

oops, didn't mean to post twice

that wasn't meant to be a response

Sorry.

I got abskalutely NO problem with the tourists taking their damn time. Fine by me.

What about maniac drivers "stealing home" through the red light, tryin' to make a right turn when I'ma got the green walk light, almost killing my ass??????

We have a major MAJOR MAJOR fuk#$in pedestrian vs. car problem in this city and all we can talk about is tourists?

FML!

John L Fail

Are you racist?

Slow-walking tourists are a human delight compared with the slow-walking/nonwalking/I'll-stop-at-the-top-of-subway-stairs-so-no-one-can-get-past-me Entitled; the idea that there is any debate regarding driving while texting/talking on the phone is stunning -- people can't even WALK and text/talk. And when the bulk of these "crucial interactions" contain the words, "I was like...," the temptation to scream is strong. Very strong.

OK, so many tourists are slow.

But so are PLENTY of native New Yorkers (few tourists poke around York Ave). The I'm-not-looking-where-I'm-walking-texters, the let's-all-walk-three-abreast-so-we-can-chat-and-who-cares-that-we're-blocking-the-sidewalk people, the oh-I-just-walked-into/out-of-this-store,-cutting-off-all-sidewalk-traffic people. Glass houses, people.

As for subway jerks, I think we can all agree that they deserve any and all hatred they receive, good luck arguing against that.

I submit to the list:

Cooler-than-thou NY'ers who act as if they have lived in "their neighborhood" for twenty years, and the outsiders are ruining the vibe ...

My comments to them:

Get over it.

I doubt you grew up in your current hood, so you were new once, too. And as for the bridge and tunnel crowd, they spend money, which allows local businesses to pay rent (read: avoid collapse). I'm not excusing B&T'ers, many (most) are insufferable. But please get off your high horse.

ah, that was supposed to be a general comment, not a response comment

Completely agreed. Selfish are the fools who decide to play with their phone RIGHT at the top middle of the subway staircase. Okay, so you just remembered that you'll lose your signal underground, and need to text something. SO STEP ASIDE AND GET THE F OUT OF MY WAY. Good call, AM25.

Of course people can't walk while texting, because they can't watch where they're going. So yeah, that one is on my list -- why is it my responsibility to avoid colliding with you?

I haven't yet taken this action, but it's on my mind: when someoone's walking towards me texting and not watching where they're going, I will stop a few paces in front, turn and lower my shoulder, and pull out my phone and pretend to be texting. Then I can just apologize, oh sorry, didn't see you coming... I was texting.

Why wasnt the New York Post on its own survey? That paper annoys me more than anything on the list (well, except maybe jerks blocking subway doors...)

I'm not bothered by slow walking tourists at all. I'm bothered by rudeness and selfishness. Blocking subway doors fits into both these categories. So does blocking the crosswalks, as opposed to "the box". Today, a motorcyclist in a suit very calmly pulled his motorcycle up to where it complete blocked the crosswalk. He didn't give a damn about anyone else.

Cab drivers who are talking on cellphones while driving are violating the law. They should find themselves on the unemployment line and lose their drivers licenses.

Not included in this list are the people who lean on the poles in subway cars. These people are as selfish as you can get. They don't give a damn about people who may need to hold on. They are complete losers, completely selfish, completely rude and the don't care what you think.

I'm getting disgusted with New Yorkers now. Many are very nice, but the bad ones are the ones who make our reputation.

Why aren't B&T people infesting bars on the list? I used to have a great local watering hole until it was invaded by FLIDs who all seem to wind up barfing all over my block before the night is through.

FLIP = Fair Layered Increase/Decrease (congestion control algorithm)?

Slow walking tourists? What are tourists suppose to do? Run and walk fast. They're here to see the city and take it all in. They may not come back to the city again or maybe another year while residents and workers see it almost everyday.

What annoys me is when New Yorkers think they're better than everyone and being ignorant about the rest of the country and world followed right behind people pushing into a crowed subway car.

Why's that bad? They want an authentic NYC experience, right? Well, they get one. What makes you think your kid-gloves approach is a better experience for them?

Tourists are mostly fine. Loudmouth assholes who complain about tourists are far more annoying than the tourists themselves.

most of the 'stand there staring at maps' tourists are in "designated" tourist areas anyway. for the most part, i see them perusing their maps while walking. or if they're standing at a corner staring down at one, it usually means they're lost and i sometimes (just sometimes) offer an assist.

I think it's more annoying when tourists take up the entire corner looking at a map, or pause in front of the subway turnstiles to talk or look at a map. They need to learn to look at their maps by the side of the building so they don't block people's paths, that's what I do when I'm sight-seeing in a big city like New York. I think advice like that should be in the tourist guides actually.

But tourists are cool for the most part... I really don't have a problem with any. I think the one's that are doing things like that are just not used to being in a large city and being aware that there isn't as much space to get around.

How about not being able to make eye contact with a clerk in a store?

"They wear those tight pants, flannel shirts, suit jackets, man purses, and there is no need for a scarf in June."

If the thing that bothers you most is the type of clothing that a small segment of the city's population chooses to wear, you must have a pretty nice life.

but, there *IS* no reason for a scarf in june

I swear, I was in Juicy Couture (don't ask me why) over the weekend, and I saw a dude with a pink shirt and a scarf. I wanted to slap the dude. And then I saw his other half (female) also with a scarf. And then I felt pity for him.

WHY ISN'T CARS PARKED IN THE BIKE PATH ON THIS LIST!?

The dipshits that loiter and block the top of the stairs to the subway yammering their incessant conversations on their cell phones.

Take your stupid bike and go back to Portland.
