And Patronize Our Vendors</a></b><br/> <!-- ID = 45360 -->A tourist mom with three teens in tow halts in the middle of the block, causing two suits and several other people to crash into them.<br/><br/>Suit #1: For the love of God, move, you idiots! There are people walking behind you!<br/>Tourist mom: You don't have to be so rude!<br/>Suit #2: He's rude? You clearly see this is a busy sidewalk, and yet you stop dead in the middle and block all traffic!<br/>Tourist mom: He didn't have to say it so rude -- we are not from around here!<br/>Suit #1: And does that somehow excuse your being idiots and stopping in the middle of a busy street?<br/>Tourist mom: At least we are not so <i>rude</i> in Tennessee!<br/>Suit #2: That explains the idiocy, but it still isn't an excuse.<br/>Tourist mom: That was unnecessary!<br/>Suit #1: Perhaps, but it's true.<br/>Suit #2: Here, maybe this is more polite: Welcome to New York. Slow walking idiots prone to stopping for no reason stay to the fucking right of busy sidewalks, and don't get in the way of the non-mentally impaired locals. Now fuck off.<br/><br/>--50th & 6th<br/>via <a href="http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/">Overheard in New York</a>, Apr 3, 2007
