I've said it before and I'll say it again: New Yorkers that need to tell strangers about their high standards and about how exceptional and unique and grounded and worldly and tough and cosmopolitan and sophisticated and cultured they are for being from New York are insufferably boorish.
If I watch a stand-up comedian and they mention New York within the first few minutes of their performance, I'm out. I don't want to hear it again.
I've met way too many like this when I lived in Upstate New York. You'd get the transplants who lived in the city and then came back acting like they were above everybody else. The people actually born and raised in New York City almost never brought it up.
I'm starting to feel like thats just what happens when people move somewhere. Like something about being a transplant to a city suddenly makes you way more likely to talk about how thats the best city ever and how nowhere else is like it. Kinda like when people convert to a new religion and become really devout to it, compared to people who were born and raised in that religion.
