I can’t explain my frustration being in the right lane at a red light because a New Yorker is in front of me. The worst.

12. The State Bird

Your neighbors are either horses or people. Most likely horses.

20. A Mall Is 15 Minutes From Your House

There is a mall in pretty much every direction. But, Short Hills is definitely the best of them all.
