SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona’s drivers are much worse.
I thought my state was the worst, but turns out Miami takes the cake. Grand Theft Auto was basically accurate.
Hey, the drivers in my state are fine. It’s the drivers in the neighboring state that are all reckless idiots who don’t know to drive.
Seriously Colorado though:
Nobody in California ever said that shit.
Having rain 3 days a year isn’t bipolar weather
Its raining in Oregon. We’ll see the sun in July… Hopefully.
We’ve had a rather fucky winter on the west side so far, admittedly.
We’ve streaky… The rains finally came, but they were gone for so long that I was worrying a bit about fire seasons. Still am honestly.
A day? In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change. And Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive. New Jersey drivers are bad.
In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change.
Which New England are you in? When it’s rainy/snowy, that weather sticks around for days. Generally speaking, most places with high humidity generally have more consistent weather. It’s areas with low humidity (and high elevation) where you get really big weather and temperature swings.
I grew up in Boston, I’ve lived in Phoenix for the last 25 years… I think you have that backwards, at least that’s been my experience.
The fucking Russian drivers are the worst. I saw plenty of them in Masuren and Ermland (Warmia) before Poland closed the border with the shitbag Muscovites from the illegally occupied Kaliningrad.
Any northern country is disqualified as they know how to drive in snow. The worst drivers have to be a place that doesn’t get regular snow.
I’ve had people say Vietnam is the worst, but everyone rides slow, are riding from a very young age, and are prepared for literally anything to happen on the road at any minute. The issue isn’t skill, it’s that they’re on hardmode, riding overloaded crap bikes with crap rubber while simultaneously texting, smoking, and drinking. They perform much better than I could in the same situation.
I’ve lived in quite a few places and I still think of Maryland drivers as the worst I’ve encountered. Istanbul drivers are the most ballsy/skilled/terrifying/helpful.
I was coming here to say this exact thing… I’ve never seen such an aggressively clueless population of drivers as those in Maryland. They will savagely cut you off in the left lane to go the speed limit or less.
Well, guess it’s nice to know I’m not giving away my location when I complain.
I worked for a dollar branded store they would monitor the companies Reddit for employees that were being saying something bad.
They’d look thru the account for pictures of the store layout or anything identifiable. Like the weather on certain days were specifically helpful yes.
Are you willing to name and shame? Which company was it?
Sorry I thought it was obvious if you think about it.
It was dollar tree. I worked the transition from family dollar-dollar tree- dollar tree plus.
What I can say good about dollar tree is I went from part time cashier on Christmas for extra money to running stores in 6 months. I opened 7 stores, lead the stocking teams, helped out at dozens of stores and was “person you call” when you don’t know who to call. DMs called me. On the other hand i had a mental breakdown (litterly I was hospitalized for close to a month then I moved home with my mother that’s how damaging the work was under that one specific district manager) so dollar tree is a great place to move up but it’s like… Harvey Weinstein…. Yeah he can make you a star but at a cost.
Lol sorry I have ptsd lol
Tell dollar tree I will never shop at a dollar. Tree.
Honestly? Dollar stores are all pretty bad.
I’ve only been in one. The food I saw meant for humans, I wouldn’t feed to my pets. Never again
“If you don’t like the weather in [insert location] wait five minutes”
I used to naively believe this was actually unique to Newfoundland. Recently learned that it’s a saying everywhere and everyone acts like it’s unique to where they live
I have heard this almost exclusively for Florida and not any of the surrounding states. Or really I have never heard it about any other states on the Eastern seaboard.
Nah, Florida’s gone from bright, clear, and sunny to “holy fuck, did we forget about a hurricane hitting land?” In the time it’s taken me to go to the bathroom.
Not use the bathroom. Just getting there.
SE Nebraska, 5-6 pm every spring and summer. Sunny in the east. Dark wall cloud to the west
Florida literally has a monsoon season where it goes from sunny to pouring to sunny around the same time every day for like 4 months.
If desperately needs to enter the monsoon season as well
There is an exceptional drought occurring
You got at least a month before irregular rains, and 2 months before the wet season actually starts.
What are the estuaryies looking like?
Arkansas doesn’t require driver’s ed so I think we do have the market cornered on bad drivers. I see folks slam on their brakes on the interstate, reverse back to their exit, the interstates themselves were obviously designed by folks who don’t understand how it works, etc. I’ve lived in several states and never seen anything quite like it.
I think what people don’t realize is that roads are mostly designed by politicians and transit engineers just check to make sure the whole thing doesn’t collapse or sink when a car drives over it.
There are standards but 9/10 times the standards are written by the local council member whose background is in like real estate law or is the son of the local auto dealership owner.
‘don’t like the weather, wait an hour.’, every state i’ve been to.
You’ve never been to so cal, we always just say isn’t the weather perfect here.
not as an adult
In my state not all the drivers are the worst. Just those from 22, 8, 14counties. That’s Crete, hastings, grand island
