It took a year, but I finally got noticed by a Karen for not wearing a mask. It was a beautiful day in Hollywood and my buddy who lives next door and I went to get a coffee around lunch time.

We were walking home, drinking from our cups, and I had my mask around my neck (have to wear one to enter the coffee shop, because California, but I always pull it down once I exit businesses) when suddenly we approached a middle aged Krazed Karen walking her dog. She immediately starts making snarky comments like "I can't believe this! What is going on with all these maskless people! Is it a convention? Unreal!"

Being an ex-New Yorker, I of course did not hold my tongue. I immediately shot back, "oh, shut the fuck up, idiot, I'm drinking a fucking coffee...outside!" She seemed absolutely stunned that someone would not bow down to her and beg forgiveness! She began sputtering nonsense at that point - could barely form a coherent word, she was so flustered!

As she continued to mutter and began walking around us - giving us a wide berth, as if she was certain we had the 'Rona - I started yelling "Oh my God, YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE DISEASE!! Holy shit YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!"

This made her pick up her pace and she fled the scene.

Can't believe it took me this long to draw the attention of a Mask Nazi!!

Love it. I live in Washington state and in my 20s people asked me if I grew up back east because I was so abrasive in conversations. I took it as a compliment.

LOL. I lived in Portland for a few years and the locals I met really didn't know what to make of the way I talk - was always a subject of conversation.

I worked here for a Floridian billionaire who mostly hired new Yorkers for his management team. When they flew into town, some female employees would call in sick to avoid having to see them.

I loved those fuckers. Every time my boss flew into town he'd throw his hands up and announce "THIS FUCKING GUY" then give me a bear hug.

I miss those dudes.

New Yorkers can be the friendliest/nicest people you will ever meet - you just have to get to know them.
