Your Quintessential NYC Moments Are Now iMessage Stickers

You know that feeling you get when a storm's first gust of wind destroys the $10 umbrella you desperately bought from the vendor on the sidewalk?

Or when you peer into the abyss that is the subway tunnel as you wait for your train that should have arrived more than 10 minutes ago?

Now there are stickers to help you share those feelings of despair via text.

A new pack of 12 iMessage stickers, released by the New Yorker as an extension of its New Yorker Today app Tuesday, captures such defining moments of city life with the touch of whimsy you'd expect from the magazine's cartoons. 

We identify with many, but we're not quite sure what magazine contributor Christoph Niemann was going for when he drew and animated a stick figure swinging around a skyscraper spire.

Users of the New Yorker app can download the stickers for free, following the instructions here. The New Yorker Today app itself is free to download, too, but access to more than 10 magazine articles every 30 days will cost you $8.99 a month.
