Like why do I feel like I’m supposed to be able to name the seven boroughs? I can’t tell you anything about L.A., Chicago, Boston, etc.

Edit: to clarify: I mean that everyone in America are expected to know NYC. Not just New Yorkers. Obviously everyone should know the layout of where they live.

People like you crack me up, all butthurt cause Americans don't give a fuck about where you're from.

Just shows you want attention from Americans, like you're mad your crush doesn't know you exist.
