Things I've learned from the City

I've been here in Philly for about a month now and boy am I learning a LOT.  I try to observe my fellow students of life so that I can know the ways of the city.  So far, here are some things I've learned:

1. If you are a pedestrian crossing the street, and a car pulls into the pedestrian lane in an attempt to make a right turn thus blocking your way, it is OKAY to stand in the road and lecture them at a loud volume for 45 seconds and make them back up and out of your way.
2. If you are driving on Chestnut, you should NOT drive in the lanes closest to the sidewalks because in the city it is OKAY to put your hazards lights on and turn the driving lane into a parking lane by stopping and getting out of your car.
3. On the bus, it is NOT okay to stare at other people, even if they have grass shavings stuck to their head.
4. If you are walking in the city you should NOT look down at the sidewalk, because a biker may be heading your direction and may not see you.
5. In the city, it is OKAY to ride your bike on the sidewalk, even though this is illegal.
6. In the city, if you feel a drop of something wet you HOPE that it is in fact, water.
7. If you do NOT have cash and you do NOT have tokens, you canNOT ride the subway.  Even if you say "please."
8. It is NOT okay to wave or say 'hi' to strangers.  They think this is weird.
9. "Water Ice" is said as one word and apparently is NOT redundant, but something different and distinct from water AND ice.
10. There is no sales tax on clothes!  Superfjdaklawesomejfkdlalfmagnificentalicious!

I feel like I'm growing so much as a person!  This may be a continuing series.

In other news, Justin Bieber is a lawyer???  He IS a talented young man.
