It seems the NYT asked for Londoners to tweet them with tales of their experiences of petty crime in London. They shudda known better :)
A couple of examples and the link:
Recently I saw someone I hadn’t seen for a while and asked him ‘How are you?’ AND HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME HOW HE WAS, instead of the only acceptable response ‘Fine, how are you?’ I felt dizzy and confused.
In 1997 I was playing snooker in a dimly lit hall in Tooting against One Kidney McGinty. He inadvertently touched the cue ball twice but didn't call his own foul. He went on to make a match winning break of 7. He disappeared the next day. That's how it works south of the river.
I paid for £4.99 sandwich with a £10 note. The guy gave me £5 change and said 'I'll have to owe you the penny' We both knew we'd never see each other again and, though I said 'OK', I felt exploited and trudged out of the shop, broken.
