3. quit

edited to add: "I wasn't even supposed to be here today," and insert expressive emoticons.

Because it's much more pleasant for you to nod, smile, tune out, and ignore them.

If you have pets, I can give you a good reason not to quit -- you don't want them to starve. Though, I bet homeless people with pets do better than homeless people without pets.

People occasionally buy this homeless guy near my office a bag of dog food for his sweet German Shepherd mix. I never see anyone buy him anything.

That being said, I haven't noticed NYC lawyers being any more tool-like than non-NYC lawyers.

I think there is more variation between firms than between cities. Three of the five worst I've ever dealt with came from the same firm (but not the same department or even office). None were from NYC. Four of the five (but not the same as the three) were from Pennsylvania, but I think this was a coincidence.

No, but Northeasterners* assume that anyone with a southern accent is a racist dummy. So, her story fits (at least for those of us who live in the Podunkvilles and red states of the country).

Sadly, far too true. I grew up in the NE, but Mom Deuced is from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Her accent is noticeable, but not overwhelming. While in court one day, a judge (whose accent if you had not idea of what he did and just met him on the street would make you think he was a mechanic in Revere) told her "ya know, you prahbably should think abowt whirrking ahn that ackcent of yahrs." Mom was apoplectic when she got home and for a while thought of seeing a speech therapist to help her lose her accent. Then she decided it was better to lull the assholes into a sense of security that she was slower - made it easier for her to slay them later in court when they underestimated her.

You can subscribe to a service that will send emails to your friends and loved ones telling them that too bad, so sad, the Rapture came and you got left behind, you big heathen! http://www.raptureletters.com/

This is good, since the authorities recently shut down a service that would let you text-message Jesus AND get a divinely inspired answer. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...nland_jesus_dc

Um, won't we realize that anyway when the Earth is a smoking, decimated devil-beridden lifeless wreck and the 13 actual non-sinners in the world seem to have mysteriously disappeared? And won't the DSL providers have gone up in flames with the rest of us, thereby making email access unlikely?

The next time I'm in New York, we'll play. What I'd really like to do is make it a triatholon with who's dad is toughest, and whose dick is bigger.
