So I am not here to complain about living in New York this summer, because so far almost everything has been amazing. Despite that, a hot, muggy summer day in the city can be unbearable in the pouring rain. First of all, New Yorkers have no umbrella etiquette, or maybe they just don't care. I work in Times Square and with all the masses of people walking around, it can be a very dangerous place with all of those sharp umbrella tips! You might think that I am joking around or maybe that I am blowing this out of proportion, but today I was walking to work when the person in front of me wasn't paying attention while talking on the phone and nailed someone in the face! Also, normally I don't mind taking the subway into work, but in the rain large parts of the stations flood and huge lines form so that people can walk around them (if at all possible).
I am going to start keeping people updated about my summer in the city by posting every once in a while about a certain unique aspect of New York life that only an outsider like myself would notice.

Oh my god I know exactly what you're talking about...not only is the weather just miserable and makes me physically uncomfortable but it puts me in such a bad mood! But I guess I would prefer being in an office all day when it's rainy and gross out rather than missing out on the sun! But I feel your pain!
