As a Philadelphian, I do not have an issue with immigrants. I have an issue with new yorkers with their new york attitudes and new york rent price tolerance coming here. When do we get to put THEM on a bus and send them back up?
In Philadelphia, if the person in front of you makes a driving error, you may gently tap your horn depending on the neighborhood. You do NOT lean on it for a solid 30 seconds due to 10 cars in front of you being stopped as well if you would like to keep your car, kneecaps, and all other parts of you in one piece.
We shoot people over parking spaces and destroy hitchhiking robots and tell tourists Kensington is a nice place to visit this time of year.
But also we know our neighbors. And if you’re nice to me I’m nice to you.
Seriously enforced politeness is a philly thing. Don’t fuck with it. Didn’t your mother teach you manners?
