Things you learn by living in NYC

In an elevator, women exit first, and age take priority. For example, if you and your boyfriend are in an elevator, you get off first. If you and your mom are in the elevator, your mom exits first. If you, your boyfriend, and your mom are in the elevator, your mom exits, then you, then your boyfriend. If you, your boyfriend, your dad, and your mom are in the elevator,  your mom exits, then you, then your dad, then your boyfriend. No joke, this is really how it's done, and everyone in Manhattan has a mutual understanding of this rule.  


Well, until a tourist messes it up, and everyone simultaneously rolls their eyes...
