    It's about what annoys you. I'm from Texas, and the cali transplants there are especially awful. Everyone choosing to move to Texas from California is objectively in the running for the worst person ever award and they somehow got in n out imported even though in the great hierarchy of burgerland, in n out is positively dogshit. nobody needed lines shutting down dallas area traffic for the most mid burger you'll ever overpay for.

    But Texas has native brands of insufferable, including really insufferable prosleytizing christians, busybodies shoving their nose in your business, and an appreciably oversized contingent of outright fascists

    I moved to seattle in 2018 as a uhaul lesbian, and the big culture shock is the profound amount of passive aggression and conflict avoidance. The utter indifference and lack of care for anything not in the immediate concern the average washingtonian is alarming sometimes. I prefer it to Texas busybodies though. The quickest way to get people to give a shit is seeing somebody fuck with you when you're minding yoru own business.

    The kind of place where you can eat pavement riding your bike through an industrial park to get to work and nobody even stops to check on you, but if somebody is being a bigot at you on the bus, the person is likely to get jumped. It's real weird, and i'd change it if i could

    washington drivers suck shit and dont know what traffic laws are, but all the cali plates i see are like that plus they're trying to actively get you killed

    There are regional ways of being annoying that Californians have, and then they also vigorously export their shit too, and that's why i think they probably suck more than the national average

    at least until you get to new york

    fuck new yorkers.
