I agree with you about the rudeness in TV. It seems worse in TV than any place I've lived. I can't understand the attitude. In this incredible place you'd think people would be without a care in the world but that's just not the case. Face to face folks seem friendly enough but behind the wheel of a car or pushing a cart in the supermarket that friendly smile seems to disappear. Seems that there's a whole lot of anger out there.
Another question, again not being critical, how did you know she was a Christian?

You are correct, it was Battery Park City--my grandfather's company owned a condo there called The Colonade in the early eighties (when I worked for him there) and I had the pleasure of living there (except when they had to fly a client in and then I got relegated to the crappy apartment on E. 93rd).
I seem to see most of the rudeness behind the wheel (especially parking lots), in grocery stores (watching the interactions at checkout lines is particularly amusing) and to a smaller extent, the town squares. I also see lots of cell phone use/talking during movies at Old Mill and the Rialto, but that is another thread entirely. I have yet to see it at the rec centers, at the pools, or at the gym (maybe exercise diminishes rudeness/aggrssion?).
My wife, who is a nurse at the TV Hospital ER (and has worked at major metro ERs in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale) sees rudeness almost every night she works and says it is worse here than anywhere she has ever worked (in 20+ years as an ER nurse). Once again, please understand I am NOT saying these are all TV residents, many of the ones in the hospital are not.
I probably should not have assumed she was a Christian, bit i did because:
1. She said "Ill pray for you" during our interaction (I'm Jewish and we just don't say that to folks).
2. The curucifix hanging from her rearview led me to make an assumption.
