New York City is the city of opportunity and dreams, but it is also the city of pet peeves... If you're moving to the city, here are some things you'll learn to hate.


1. Umbrellas in Manhattan

Manhattan is not the place for umbrellas because there are WAY too many people. But then like, here's the thing: You just did your hair, you've got a cute outfit on and its pouring out. So, of course, you need to cover up. Y'know casually walking down the street with your umbrella. BUT HERE COMES A WALL OF UMBRELLAS COMING YOUR WAY. Next thing y'know you're getting stabbed by umbrellas from all sides. Not literally but you get the picture!

2. Slow walkers

I mean this is a thing everywhere, but especially in Manhattan. We have places to be and people to see,so please stop walking so slow.

3. Strangers coming up and asking you for food or money

It's not that it's annoying, it's more about being scary. They're just kinda scary.

4. The many lost tourists who stop in the middle of the sidewalk

Instead of walking to the side to check their maps or something, they'll normally just stop in the middle of the sidewalk stopping in everyone's way, almost like a traffic a car stopping in the middle of the street.

But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
