22. No, Seriously
The next time you see a NYer doing/saying something you think is rude, pay close attention to the exchange. See if the person being ruded to (?) gives an identifiable reaction, and the NY'ers responding behavior.

I've been living in the South for 11 years now. I miss having my boundaries "poked," so to speak.
