A True New Yorker?

I was a victim of petty larceny on Wednesday, September 8, 2010. It took place in the school's lobby, right in front of the security guards, behind the key card access. I am suay3 beyond belief. Who gets robbed in school, in the lobby, by another student, at a place without a security camera. (why is there no security camera in the lobby!?!?)

Brilliant.

Of course, as with everything else in life, it is also partially my fault. Darn carelessness and stupidity and letting your guard down in school and trusting the kindness of human nature. I forgot that I was in New York.

Anyway, probability states that it is very rare for someone to be 'robbed' twice. I hope this will be my one and only robbery incident in New York.

I'm going to be in New York for 4 years. Does that make me true New Yorker?

- Been 'kiap4' by subway train
- Harassed by madmen (too many times)
- Proposition to by taxi drivers, bus drivers
- Random dirty tissue flew in my face (same day as the larceny)
- Hit by mystery water from above (too many times)
- Random guy grabbed my arm and said: I have something to tell you
- Steered a NYC ferry around Manhattan (with a pervy captain, urgh)
- Cursed at by strangers (too many times)
- Shouted at for being in the middle of the intersection by a cop (yes, this is my fault)
- Scolded by waitress for not tipping enough
- Jumping the subway turnstiles (darn subway machine is not working)

I think you're not cynical enough.
