• Extra on "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" gets tired of explaining title to passers-by (e.g. rubes?) and renames movie to "Gone With The Wind 3". Category: Jaded New Yorkers
• 5-year-old told during private school interview that "he was very, very smart" and responds: "Everyone in my family is smart. It's in the pants." Category: Precocious NY Kids
• Recollection of watching Shelley Winters loudly whistle for a cab. Category: Oh, Those Fast-Paced New Yorkers!
• Brooklynite refers to Bronx-Brooklyn marriage as "mixed". Category: Jaded New Yorkers
• This is more a "provincial New Yorker" than a jaded one; if the trend continues I may add a new category
• Performance review yields this comment: "If you spell Bob backwards, you get Bob. And that's what's great about Bob: you always know he's going to be Bob." Category: WTF
• No idea how to categorize it except as "WTF is this doing in Metro Diary?"
• Person runs after a bus for blocks, finally catching it, and is told by a passenger: "We were all rooting for you." Category: Jaded New Yorkers
