I hate the area code thing! They just changed them here, and now I have to redo my whole phone!

My favorite think about a big city is that when some guy is on the street asking for money, wanting you to pay to sit in the lawn chair next to him because he is painted yellow, etc... they don't take it personally when you look ahead and keep walking. I'm at college now, and when I walk by someone that is handing stuff out, and I don't look at him, they get mad! I'm not used to that!

And I've had to replace the fuse for the horn on my car three times, and I've only driven for two years, and my town is only 300, 000 people, but they can't drive!

I like REALLY big cities, though, because I am a personal person, and I like to keep to myself, and when I went to downtown Chicago no one gets offended when they ask me something and I didn't answer.

PS, I'm more afraid of the cops that I am my parents!

Jeff it sounds like you dont like the city. Eventhough I agree with some of your points, I agree Big Cities have lots to offer. One thing that I miss about DC was that there was always something to do. I am in Dartmouth MA a small town and there was nothing to do last night.

I went to McDonald's one morning when I was in high school, and the drive-thru lady asked if my dad went to McDonald's every morning to get coffee... oddly enough, he did. She said she could see the resemblence... That kinda blew my mind too :p
