Are you kidding New York City walking morning commuter?

It's raining. I get it. No one likes walking in the rain. But did it occur to you New York City walking morning commuter that everyone else on the sidewalk wants to get to their destination as much as you do? Then why is it that when water falls from the sky you all of the sudden don't know how to get from your apartment/the train station/the person's apartment whose name you don't know because you had one too many drinks last night to where are you going. You stop abruptly in the middle of the sidewalk as if no one is going to be behind you. Guess what? There are 11 million people in the tri-state area, 3 of which are on the island of Manhattan. Chances are there is going to be someone behind you. And when there is more then 2 people across the side walk you hold your umbrella at such weird angles that it either offers you no shelter from the rain or the chances of you poking someone are like the chances of the Save By the Bell gang solving their ridiculous problem by the end of the episode, pretty damn good. (Which always made me wonder how a group of teenagers could solve an addiction problem in 30 min, excluding commercial time.) NYC walking morning commuter just because it's raining doesn't mean you have to lose all sidewalk sensibility. Its like you are a Chia pet, but when you get wet instead of growing sprouts for hair you just grow stupid. I expect more from you next time it rains in the morning. You're better than that.
