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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a guy lost control of his umbrella in the wind, which then hit me in the eye, making me bleed. He screamed at me for trying to steal his umbrella. People laughed. FML
Today, I stood for half an hour in the rain waiting for my bus. As I started to go inside, my bus turned around the corner and splashed water all over me. The bus driver wouldn't let me on the bus because I was soaking wet and I would "mess up the seats". FML
Today, I was hurrying for the bus home from work. It was raining and I had my umbrella up. As I hurried by two women, I felt my umbrella hit one of them on the head. I turned to apologise and saw her standing with her hands on her newly bald head. My umbrella had lifted her wig off her head. FML
Today, I was walking to work when it was starting to pour down sideways. I was pretty early anyway, so, I decided to duck into a bus shelter and let it pass. Suddenly, a big truck comes and drenched me with the biggest puddle. Soaking from head to toe. FML
Today, as I was trying to get off a crowded train, some asshole pushed past me hard enough to nearly knock me over. My bag hit a preschool kid standing behind me, and I missed my stop trying to apologize to him. His mom yelled at me all the way to the next stop. FML
Today, I had to walk home in the rain because my mom didn't want to get her new car wet. FML
Today, it was raining downtown. I saw an elderly woman crossing the street so I lended her my umbrella and helped her across. When we got to the other side, she said, "Thank you Toby," and then refused to give back "her" umbrella to me, loudly enough for a nearby cop to hear. FML
Today, while I was walking home from work, it started to rain. Clutching my bag in one hand, I started to run so I wouldn't get too wet. I saw a man running towards me and all of a sudden he tackled me to the ground. He thought I had stolen someone's handbag. FML
Today, someone stole my umbrella. It was pouring heavily, and I was using it at the time. FML
Today, I got on a crowded bus and was forced to stand. The bus made a sharp turn, so I reached for a pole to hold onto. Without looking, I grabbed the pole. It was wet and moist, but I nonetheless held on until the turn was done. I turned to see I had also grabbed a large man's nose and had squeezed it. FML

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

You've got assholes everywhere Within my first week of moving to New York City, I was robbed (of a dollar). This was the south bronx. Years later, I moved to the suburb of Long Island (also New York City, but nobody admits it) went to let my neighbor know that his car lights were on and was greeted at the door by a man holding a gun, yelling at me to get off his property. In North Carolina, almost got run off the road by some asshat who decided to drive down the middle of a two lane road.

On a positive note, at least it was only your umbrella and not cash or credit cards.

way to perpetuate stereotypes. i've lived in NYC my whole, and im older than most on here. and this is NOT typical NYC behavior. In fact, in traveling the world, i've found that NYers. while moving at a faster pace, often mistaken for rudeness, are some of the most helpful and tolerant people i've come across anywhere. we need to be, living on top of each other as we do
