Welcome to New York. It’s been waiting for you. And by “it,” I mean cockroaches, bedbugs, six train cars with broken air conditioners, and that guy dressed as an off-brand Tickle Me Elmo in Times Square leering at you. There’s a lot to be truly terrified of in this city.

Ranked number one: getting pushed onto the subway tracks. Number eight: finding out your neighbor has bed bugs. Number 1,563: ISIS.
