NYC Nosey!!!

If you want unsolicited advice come to NYC! 

People are NOT shy here. 

And will tell you what they think you are doing wrong without being provoked. 

...

I was walking Harry on his leash and this woman passing by yells out: "She's dragging because she has to pee."

I respond: "No, he is dragging because he hates being on the leash."

She says: "No! It's bc she has to pee."

Me: "You are mistaken lady."

Now...

Here is the thing...

She gets to walk around doling out unneeded advice. 

What I "get" is advice from an ill informed passer by. 

Yikes! 

What's wrong with her approach:

a) No one asked you

b) Harry is a he not a "she"

c) Since Harry was diagnosed with cancer he doesn't feel so hot & does not want to be on a leash. Ever. 

d) Harry has to be on a leash while crossing the streets of NYC so inevitably he will drag. 

e) Harry is 11yrs old. I had him since he was 3 months old. Wouldn't I know more than you, who is passing by what he needs? 

Neighborly NYC "advice"

Got me thinking... 

Is it bc everyone's apt is so small that they feel like they own the streets too? Then is it that lack of space that makes everyone feel entitled to the streets being part of their home. Which then lends itself to them feeling NYC streets are their "hallways" leading into their apt. And what happens in their "hallways" IS their business. 

Hmm...

Today, what is your city's culture? Is everyone busybodies?!?!?!
