15 problems faced by all New Yorkers

Life in New York is pure pleasure, but even the residents of this state are not immune from some problems.

Edition Only in Your State compiled a list of common problems that all New Yorkers face.

1. Lack of snow days

Unlike other states, in which entire cities can literally freeze due to snow, New York is always ready for a blizzard - roads are cleared here in the blink of an eye. Residents certainly value road safety and cleanliness, but sometimes it would be nice to have a couple of bright snowy days.

2. With the phrase “I'm from New York,” everyone assumes that it’s about the city of New York

There are not so many things that annoy the New Yorker more than the stranger’s reaction to the story that you are from New York. Everyone always and immediately asked: “From the city of New York?”, Which is very annoying to the resident of this beautiful state.

3. The confidence of many people is that New York sports teams are not really New York

Almost all New Yorkers are rooting for the New York Giants or the New York Jets, and they don’t really want to hear that this isn’t exactly the New York team because of where their stadium is.

4. Necessity to remove snow

There is nothing worse than being late for work, going outside in the morning and seeing that your car is completely covered in snow, and you have to spend some time digging it out. Or even worse - sometimes it is difficult to simply determine which of the snow-covered cars is yours, because you don't want to waste time digging out someone else's.

5. When tourists find out about your secret places

Visiting one of your favorite secret places is not at all so fun, if upon arrival you find out that tourists have learned about it, which significantly increased the number of people there. Due to modern technologies and social networks, more and more secret places in New York are no longer secret, which is very frustrating for locals.

6. Discussions on the topic of upstep

Most New Yorkers believe that upstep starts north of Albany, but sometimes people living in the southern part of the state insist that they live in upstate, which makes others just wonder.

7. It's hard to understand how huge the state of New York is.

All residents of New York more than once experienced a moment when, after reading about some new and exciting place in their state, they learned that it is located in 5 hours from their place of residence. It makes you understand how huge New York State is, so traveling around it often takes a whole weekend, not just a few hours.

8. Answer to the request to list all the lakes in Finger Lakes

New Yorkers do not memorize the names of these lakes to surprise friends at parties, so if you need to know what Finger Lakes consists of, it’s better to use Google.

9. The need for increased concentration while driving

Driving in New York can be quite difficult. It is necessary to be extremely attentive in order to notice the potholes in time and deer unexpectedly leaping onto the roadway.

10. Taxes

Most New Yorkers believe that high taxes in the state are the “minus” of life in this region.

11. Unable to enjoy pizza when traveling outside the state

You can try pizza in another state, hoping that it is delicious, but you will not find this dish anywhere better and tastier than in some places in New York.

12. The need to independently pour gasoline in the car in the winter

In winter, New Yorkers envy the residents of those states in which the driver should not pour gasoline into the tank of a car at a gas station, because there is nothing worse during the cold season than standing outside and pouring gasoline.

13. Too many construction projects in the warm season

After a harsh winter, New Yorkers cannot quite enjoy the summer and spring due to the large number of construction sites and road repairs that spoil the landscape - instead of trees and flowers, you will see fences and orange signs warning of construction or repairs.

14. Outsiders don't understand New Yorkers love Wegmans

For New Yorkers, Wegmans is much more than just a supermarket, but out-of-state residents often don't understand this, which upsets New Yorkers.

15. Tourists distort the names of New York cities

Some names of small towns in the state are really complex and difficult to pronounce, but sometimes tourists distort even the simplest names, which annoy the locals.
