Today, getting off a bus, it was pouring rain so I got my umbrella out. A man elbowed me in the gut and grabbed it. When I told my mom about it she said, "That's New York, get over it." FML

Did you not nudge him back? Treat others as they treat you... or something like that ;)

Indeed it sucks. After living here almost all my life, I don't see what's so great about it.

Texas is the best, people give you their umbrella or share with you. TEXAS people are so nice to everyone..

I'd suggest the Austin area. Most people there are actually really nice and they're getting Google Fiber really soon.

Yeah, but Long Island provides the "essence" of city life without all the grief and discomfort!

Take a vacation to Canada: we're so polite that if you bump in to us, we're the ones who apologize.

Let's face it, in all these places, you will have some jerks, and some lovely people.
Getting rather bored with all these stereotypes about what people are like in certain areas of the world. Every individual person is different! :)

@59 I'm sure you could punch a Canadian in the face and they would apologize. Or you could mug one and they would be so kind as to invite you for dinner.

If she nudged him back something a lot worse than her umbrella being taken would have happened

I've lived here all my life and despite our legendary lack of manners, nobody has ever been rude to me here... maybe you were just unlucky?

#32 - I highly doubt that's it, because I'm a five foot tall, 100 lb Asian female and even my friends can't help but be amazed I've never been mugged because I'm often in the city alone and at night. xD It's probably more of what #27 said.

That's horrible! I'd say call the police and report it stolen but I feel like the police wouldn't be much help.

Sadly, in New York City, the police would probably respond as OPs mom did.
Unless the cops see a man running with an umbrella printed with "This is 'OPs' umbrella"
they're not going to do anything.

Not only in NYC but pretty much around the world. Cops don't need to waste there time on a stolen umbrella

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't purposely elbowing someone in the gut considered assault?

I hope you got a ton of rainbows to make up for that.

In new York people don't just elbow people and steel things maybe if you're in a bad neighborhood, but if so you shouldn't have been there. But never the less that extremely sucks, and I definitely feel bad!
