Why do so many New Yorkers dislike New Jersey so much?

Poll - Total Votes: 16
Most New Yorkers just don't know New Jersey very much
New Jersey's different road systen confuses New Yorkers
Their cops are raaaaaayyyyycist and pull you over for anything!
New Yorkers have snooty and superior attitudes
New Jersey guys are heavy into their cars, many smug New Yorkers have drivers to drive for them
New Yorkers envy New Jersey because of their roomy homes, lawns & pools - not tiny apartments
NYers don't know about NJ except what they see across the river (chemical plants, refineries, etc.)
Because New Yorkers tend to think of NYC as a world unto itself and everything else is foreign
It's just plain fun for New Yorkers to irritate people from New Jersey

You hear them make jokes about New Jersey and some even hate the place. What is it about their neighbor next door that they dislike so much? I just don't get it.🤷🏻

New Jersey has the superior hockey team (the Devils) and 2 NFL teams to NYC's none. The Jersey Shore can't be beat.

@graphite Devils are almost always a very good team. I was on the ice when they brought out the Cup in 2003 👍(with ESPN)

@SW-User You must've been a player, a league or arena official or working for the TV network broadcasting the game. Or press.

@SW-User I was in the stands when the Pens beat the Sharks in 2016. We apparently set the record for loudest Bettman boos.

@graphite the Jest don't count as NFL 😁

Ps that's NOT a mispelling if the team's nickname 😈

@graphite Love it!

I was in an elevator with Betteman many years ago. Actually seems like an alright guy. He was on his way to do a radio show at WFAN
