East vs. West

This is going to be a quickie again since I had a 13 hour day - but I'll do what I can!

I love CA. It's a wonderful place, it's beautiful, vibrant, warm, but mainly, the people are friendly. Super friendly. The kind where a random person has no issue with talking to you about how your day is going, introducing themselves, becoming quick friends.

The issue though - the suck ass at driving.

I mean holy cow. The people in LA (and i'm using a broad brush here since I'm declaring all of CA on this issue) are to bad driving as what the tourists in Branson, MO are to rednecks.

Now, I don't mean to be harsh, I know we all have stereotypes.

-New Yorker's may very well be packing heat, so if you mouth off or flip someone off, you may get shot at.

-Massachusetts drivers are assholes - where does the phrase "driving like a masshole" come from? hmmm.

-New Jersey people speed EVERYWHERE.

-Florida drivers are old and slow - have bad eyesight and are probably deaf (all the retirees).

But, by far, California has the worst drivers on the road.

Would you like some examples? I'm sure you would (even if you don't care, too bad since I'm in charge).

- Blinkers don't exist. If they do, it's ok to use them for .0001 second.
- People will cut you off without hesitation and then yell at you like it's your fault.
- Buses merge lanes regardless if they're going to hit you. They simply don't give a fuck.
- If you wait more than a second to move after a light changes, you will get honked at.
- Holy shit cell phones. Dear god. Especially teenage girls. Put the phone down and drive. I don't want to die because you're breaking up with your boyfriend for the 8th time this week. I wish I could slap them.
- It is legal for motorcycles to drive between stopped traffic. This isn't so much an example of "bad" driving, but it's scary as shit! I've almost has my arm ripped off on so many occasions. They don't cruise by your window either - they haul ass.

The worst thing though, is that everyone freaks out when it rains. Two drops can fall and people drive like they do in New England during a blizzard. LA driving comes to a dead crawl during any form or precipitation.

Ugh - so dumb.

Just a heads up to anyone who may venture this way and will be driving. You've been warned.

On a side note - it's be super hot this week (three days of 96 in a row) and you know what that means...

Lots of eskiho sightings!

For those of you who don't know - that's when a girl wears really short shorts, like booty shorts, or a tiny skirt and Uggs.

One of the dumbest styles EVER!



                                                   Point and case.


Make up your damn mind! Is it super hot and you want to show leg, or is it cold enough that your need fur boots on?!

When it's 96 degrees out and you wear uggs, you're a moron.

  2. Man dude, the ugg boots and shorts thing is just a SoCal thing. NO ONE IN NORCAL DRESSES LIKE THAT. If they do, they are just a traitorous poser.
