    If you go to Boston make sure not to look anyone in the face, that's a sign you want to fight. Make sure you don't wear any Yankee, Knicks, Rangers, or generic New York paraphanalia, that's a sign you want to fight. Don't look at some dude's chick because that's a sign you want to fight. Make sure to drive with one eye closed and cut people off, disregard stop signs lines on the road and children at crosswalks or busses, you don't have time to stop because people are constantly trying to fight you when you stop your car. Once you do get into a fight break a beer bottle and use it as a weapon, its a sign of respect. Don't worry if the person you get into a fight with has friends as its customary for random people on the street to jump into a fight for no reason.

    Ehh, the majority of people taking public transportation in the city are people who just want to get from point A to point B, and really don't want to deal with tourists and ignorant asses. If you want directions, why not wait to get off and ask someone who works for public transportation? Making eye contact in the DC Metro is very unwelcome, and conversations are a big no-no, unless its to laugh about some homeless dude who just got kicked off the train by the Metro police. If you're one of those asses thats all loud and junk on public transportation, then I hate you.

    Just ask John Kerry. He saw a poor person once, it was the worst day of his life.

    For the love of God do not drive in Boston. We'll kill you. We're not bad drivers per say but our version of driving is very different to the rest of the nation's version. It's like the difference between soccer and rugby.
    Also, don't use your blinkers, it's a sign you want to fight.

    Don't talk with an accent either. That's gonna make people think you're either a dick or a retard.

Don't try talking to people on trains or buses, people who try to talk to you on trains or buses are most-likely crazy.
    wow. boston sounds like a pretty shitty place to live.

    Boston sounds Like England.

    No-one wants to talk to some stranger on the train, who most likely is a complete moron.

    People don't do enough leaving each other the fuck alone.

    Aye.

    The other day a man in dark clothes started to approach me after I'd left work. It was fairly dark. He only seemed to be around my height, and pretty scrawny, and I think he was probably going to ask for directions - but I was in a hurry and had my headphones on so I avoided eye contact and just walked straight past him.

    It's also very difficult to know when someone's talking to *you* directly. I hate being drawn into conversation with strangers. Not to mention that there are a few drug-addict homeless people who will simply not leave you alone if you so much as glance in their direction. I know most of them by sight now (having been fooled before) but you can't always tell.

    And I do know that they're homeless drug addicts because the police have issued warnings not to approach them.

    If I'm lost anywhere here, I will either go into a shop and ask, or find a policeman, or look around for a tourist sign or a information desk (they're everywhere at train stations, centres of towns, etc.).

    I would especially not expect a young female person to respond to anyone trying to talk to them.

    When you're talking to someone, don't cough, sneeze, scratch your face/nose, or rub your eye. They take that as a challenge in Boston.

    Gay dudes are tough. They work out a lot. I would love to see these fat redneck dudes who talk about beating up gays have an actual fight with one of those guys who lift weights 6 days a week and goes out on Saturday to meet guys to fuck.
    Some of those fat rednecks have a shit ton of muscle hiding beneath the lard. Like the real rednecks that make a living out and about not the posers.

    Hating on gays isn't cool though, unless they're douchebags.

    dynagrip, if you get a pair of boots, they're gonna be uncomfortable when you first get them, and boot sizes don't go with shoe sizes.

    if you have to, buy sole inserts or wear extra pairs of socks.

    that's what i typically have to do.
