Umbrella

NYC sidewalks only have so much room to maneuver on a sunny day, so when they’re packed with pedestrians wielding umbrellas, sidewalks can become downright treacherous. Listen, if I go high with my umbrella, you go low with yours. You feel me? If we both carry our umbrellas at our walking heights, one of us is going to lose any eye.

I’ve also noticed a lot of folks carry golf umbrellas. When did 3rd Avenue become the back 9? Again, we only have so much room in this great city of ours and unless you’re shielding a class field trip under there, leave the golf umbrellas on the green.

Finally, crosswalk signs are useful. They prevent you from walking into traffic and me having to hold you back. Then you don't have to ask me “where that damn cab from”, and I don't have to say “from the green light”.
