CA DUers. Things in California that annoy you.

[maveric]

Traffic
Smog
"One car per green"
Ah-nold

To name a few.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Tourists

[onager]

12. How To Handle Tourists in L.A. ...

...at least the ones whose RV's/SUV's are festooned with Bu$h stickers and Confederate flag license plates.

I always tell them about The Secret Elvis House. Yes, a home Elvis Presley secretly owned and never told anybody about. And not only that, but it's in a neighborhood full of Negroes who worked for Elvis and still "know their place." I advise them to ask for the Free Shoe-shine Special.

Then I point them to an address deep in South Central... ;-)

2. Ah-nold's TV propaganda

And the idiots who swallow it, and even worse, the idiot newsbots who parrot it.

[maveric]

3. Ah-nold runs contradictory ads to those by nurses and teachers/schools.

Just who is right? I have a good idea that its not the Gropenator.

[Misunderestimator]

4. House prices.

ugh

[maveric]

6. Thats why I'm buying a sailboat.

Then, if it gets really bad here in the US, I'll change my money to Euros and set sail for Costa Rica.

[taught_me_patience]

7. i second that...

housing prices are outrageous.

[mitchtv]

5. Canadian Drivers (no offense intended)

But alberta and Sasketchuan drivers in front of you can get insane.

[maveric]

8. Baja drivers. They're not real bad but overly cautious....

and drive really slow.Thay are afraid of breaking the law and going to jail, I've been told.

[Coastie for Truth]

9. Arnold

Dr. Bill Wattenberg

[readmylips]

10. Ignorant white people who are against Mexicans/Spanish....

Hey you white folks, Mexico owned California. Mexicans are native to California, Arizona, New Mexico, etc. Mexicans didn't come on the Mayflower or through Ellis Island, nor do they change their names to English. Get it! San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Monica...etc.

Ahhnold was an illegal since 1989, and now he thinks he himself came on the Mayflower. Get a life Ahhold, you big log Nazi shit.

[AlCzervik]

11. I live in the red area and my rep is Bush carrying koolaid drinker

Left lane means fast people and for fucks sake hang up your cell phone!!!!!

[cprise]

13. High crime rate

Zero tolerance laws
A huge chunk of minorities in prison (like Texas)
Border vigilantes
Car-choked
Only one city you can walk around: SF
Superficial space-cadet friendliness
American Television (Assembled in California)
Tax revolt reveals racist libertarian streak, but still prefer to be known as 'liberal' state
Thought energy-sector rape was role-play fantasy until it was too late.
Too many people who do not know what they are doing.

But there's seldom a Southern drawl to be heard... so it's, like, OK.

BTW I don't live in CA. And the stupidity epidemic is catching everywhere.

[fleabert]

14. CA drivers LOVE to hit the brakes for no reason on the highway!

seriously. why do they do that? nothing ahead, no cars, no fire, no car chase, no animals, no gaping maw from an earthquake, and suddenly- without warning SLAM!

they also apparently don't require cars to have turn signals here, since I've never seen one used.

other than that, I am a happy camper.
