    I also grew up nearby. My first and only time driving in NYC was for work. I was 19 and my boss was having a bunch of us go renovate his wife’s apartment in Brooklyn so he could rent it out. So we all meet at the shop and proceed to follow him to the city.

    This fucking asshole starts driving like he’s in a race in his brand new jeep suv, I’m in an old ass work van. I managed to keep sight of him till we got to the Lincoln tunnel before he just disappeared. When I finally got through the tunnel I had no fucking idea where to go. It was the early days of smartphones and Google maps was just useless inside the city. It took me a few hours to get to this guy’s apartment. Trying to figure out the city with all the traffic was stressful as fuck. Finally somehow find my way to the apartment and this asshole starts berating me.

    I should have called him a stupid asshole but being a shy anxious 19 year old I just apologized and took it.
