	You can always tell the tourists. They're the ones wearing bright clothes, walking slowly and looking up. Also, when someone has a heart attack on the subway and they have to stop the trains, the tourists are the ones who are actually concerned about the guy's health instead of pissed off about being late getting home. Silly tourists! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Actually, the tourists are generally the ones standing rightthefuckinfrontof the doors when the train pulls in, instead of to the side so that people can actually, yanno, get out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Never move to Paris, because there Parisians are the ones who stand in front of the doors. Raaah! As I'm also a Parisian (and therefore an agressive asshat) I take great pleasure in hitting them with my bag when getting off the train. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hah, when I visited your City everyone warned me that Parisians were rude, rude people. I'm not sure why they thought I'd care, what with being from London and all. I honestly saw no difference. ;) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Reminds me of everyone warning me about New York City before I visited: people are aggressive, loud, they walk too fast, etc. And this was different from Boston how? Unfortunately, I was travelling with a group of Florida natives, who had a tendency to lag behind about five blocks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Walk too fast? How can people walk too fast? Dear god, I wish I could import New Yorkers if that's really true. I'm sick of being stuck behind cow people on the pavement when I'm trying to get somewhere. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Both so true! I used to work near Times Square. God, I hated that. (Reply to this)(Parent)

If I have nothing better to do, I walk slowly and look up even at home, because the architecture in downtown Washington, D.C. is some of my favourite and I like to look at teh pretty, and people who are in a rush to get somewhere can walk the fuck around me. God knows our sidewalks are huge enough. I don't do it in New York, though, because a) most of the architecture in NY is not really that pretty and b) there are too many people on tiny sidewalks and if you don't look where you are going they will knock you down and step on your kidneys.
