So mine ended up sounding a bit passive aggressive, but it gave me a chuckle coming up with this list. (Number 1 actually happened this morning, so the irritation was still fresh ?) #tenthingsidneversay

Bonus thing I'll never say: "Oh, look! Another list prompt is circulating on Litsy! Ain't nobody got time for that."

DiruVamp Those are fantastic! 7y

LauraBeth I worked near Radio City for years. I LOVED all the tourists during the Christmas season! And please - walk three people side by side on the sidewalk! While you're meandering. And to New Yorkers - please - eat your Chinese food next to me on the subway! Oh you're gonna play you're music on the subway without headphones? Great! And to NYC itself: $20 for a tiny sandwich! Excellent! And to my 800 sq ft apartment - you're so roomy - I should downsize 7y
