Spent some time in Socal and these are my observations.
-Everyone is obsessed with driving and directions. The highway is called "the freeway". Each highway is addressed with "the", like "the 5", "the 10" etc. Everyone has to know each and every direction you take to your destination, and how the traffic is. We went to Disneyland and everyone had to know how we got there. "So you took Supulveda Blvd to the 105 to the 5 to Disneyland Dr?" I have no idea and who cares, it's called Waze. "How was traffic?" It's LA, how do you think traffic was??
SNL "The Californians" is spot on:
-Y'all drive like maniacs. I was going 70mph in the second to right lane, which is lane 5 of 6. Yet so many cars passed me on the right going 75-80mph. I saw cars weave in and out of lanes for no reason. Too many fast n furious movies.
-Everyone is obsessed with black. I saw many people dressed head to toe in black, even though it's hot and sunny all the time. Aren't you guys hot wearing all that black? I even saw someone cross the street dressed in all black with a black mask on. No hate for wearing a mask, but is it necessary in the middle of an 12 lane intersection that takes 5 minutes to cross with no other pedestrians around? Also they like to black out their car emblems. I saw a white Toyota Corolla and all the Toyota logos, "Corolla" and "LE" or whatever trim emblems were so dark that you couldn't read them. The wheels were all black, the lights were black, the windows were tinted black, all the chrome was deleted with black. Why not just get a black car to begin with?
-Y'all like to eat in your cars. I went inside In-N-Out and they asked if I was eating in the restaurant or in my car. Why would I eat in my car if I came into the restaurant? Why would I even eat in my car and get french fry grease everywhere? Why would I want to hold hot greasy fries and burgers on my lap while eating, with a steering wheel in my way? So when you're done baking in the sun in the hot parking lot while eating, do you go back inside the restaurant to wash your hands or do you just drive off with greasy fingers, then throw away the trash when you get home? Park, go inside to order, bring food to car, eat in car, go back inside to wash hands and throw away trash, then go back to car. What's the point?
