A New York Shoe Shine
When a New Yorker makes a small problem sound like it's going to end the world and takes ten minutes to say it.
'This isn't just a problem. This is a world-ending problem and I'm not even sure why.'
'He didn't just forget. He forgot and it's going to cost us all our lives.'
'I can't even explain it. It's like the world is ending and I have to tell you all about it.'
