Oh, but I’ve been told by my betters here on FR that Russians are wonderful people - so much smarter than we Americans. Especially that handsome Putin dude.
Of course, living and working in NYC, we have a slightly different opinion of the disgusting, nouveau riche Russkies who pollute our town. Who buy American citizenships for their daughters by having them marry gay guys to the tune of $50,000 or so. I’ve seen it and lived it.
I worked with a Russian mechanical engineer. He escaped from the USSR. One day an air conditioner fell out of his office’s window (it was mounted about 6 ft above his desk) and fell on his desk, about half a foot from his head. Didn’t phase him. Said that after what he’d been through nothing much shocked him. He then went on to figure out where the weakness was in the support.
WOW!
Care to Elaborate Miss Marmelstein? :)
I can think of a handful of Russians I know here in Kansas.
I didn't now there were so many in New York. I honestly thought that the ones that did come here were in California.
I grew up in NYC and use to drive a yellow cab. When I started out and was naive, the Ruskies all the time would rip me off. Drive them here or there, then they would take off without paying. The best was this one Russian bitch who had me drive her all over Manhattan for an hour making stops so she could make deliveries, then she told me to take her to Queens and right when we were on the entrance from 3rd ave with the plastic pylons she told me to stop that she accidentally dropped her glasses out the window so I stopped and *poof* she was gone like a bat out of hell and ran into a building. I actually chased her down almost a block, she went out the back door, until I realized I would be towed and it would cost more and I almost did because the traffic cops were all over my cab when I got back. Last time I ever picked up a Russian. They would cut their own mothers throat for a penny, Russians are absolute scum of the earth, they really are, 2nd only to Muslims. They are emotionless automatons that live to F people over. Crime is a religion to them.
HUH???? Care to name some names to support your statement?
