New Yorkers and the Rain

Perhaps I'm jaded from having lived in London for years however, can someone please tell me why New Yorkers act as if they were the Wicked Witches of the West whom are about to or in the process of melting as each droplet of rain falls upon them.

GET OVER IT NEW YORK!!!! The rain is not acid!!! You’re NOT going to DIE! So quit pushing me out of the way as I brisk fully walk on the sidewalk. On second thought, for now on I am walking with my elbows. You know what I'm talking about. When you walk with your elbows sticking out at the sides holding your arms as hard as you can, wishing --Nay, Daring -- people to come try to bump you. I'll show them!!!

And honestly, as soon as 1 drizzle of rain tinkers the ground, traffic becomes standstill. As if traffic in New York wasn't bad enough, people think it's okay to suddenly slow down to a cool 5 miles per hour when it rains. It's NOT sleet, hail, or snow people. Speed it up a little bit!!!!

Girl's get over your hair! It looks too done up anyway. What I would worry about more is the black tear lines of mascara running down your cheeks; makes you look like those sad clowns or a harlot from Coney Island who just got off her last job. At least wear waterproof mascara or a waterproofer to apply over your regular mascara.

And when the hell did dudes start acting worse than chicks. Though I am talking about the suits in the rain, but in general guys have become such ladies.  These are the guys that start running in the streets with a newspaper over their head.  A newspaper?  Really?  You do realize this is just paper right?  I do not believe umbrella's or rain boots are made from paper.

Additionally, I believe,  a law for hight restrictions for umbrella users should be passed.  I for one NEVER use an umbrella. I am FAR too short and risk the endangerment of eyeballs and chests of those behind me. Petite people should NOT be allowed to use umbrella's. I am so tired of my eyeballs getting poked out by an even shorter individual.
