I don't understand why New Yorkers who spend "the season" down in South Florida believe they are entitled to treat everyone else like crap.

They are all obnoxious, rude, demanding, condescending, arrogant, etc etc etc. You would think that these are all folks from the City but much to my surprise they are not. A lot of them are from other areas outside New York City.

Is being nasty and rude a taught subject in New York schools? Or is it something people pick up as they go along?

Hold on! I think I'm actually talking about two different things:

1) New Yorkers (statewide) are rude.
2) New Yorkers in South Florida have a superiority complex.

In regards to topic #1: I can't make that assumption. It's not fair to say that about all New Yorkers. I have a few friends from that state who happen to be very nice. I've also worked for a New Yorker (from the City) who was great. It's just that the majority that we came in contact with here in Florida happen to be rude.

This leads to topic #2: I truly believe that New Yorkers who spend "the season" in South Florida feel that locals owe them something. Kinda like: "We are here pumping up your little economy, so you must cater to us."

Perhaps we are only seeing the bad New Yorkers here in Florida. The ones with enough money to spend the season here in Florida are rude here and up there too.
