SailorFuzzAlso, in my state, all the drivers are the worst
WammityblamIn central Indiana it was 70 with tornados and then 20 and snowing two day later.
I was gonna say the same. I’m middle east coast, and one day will be 85f and the next can be below freezing, and alternate each day for a week after, and that’s before precipitation/wind.
Thank you for proving OP’s point.
SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona’s drivers are much worse.
NorCal here. Weather here isn’t great but it’s very predictable.
Speak for yourself. Love and miss that cooler, predictable weather. Sick of this shit where I send my kids to school in 30 degree weather and pick them up in 70-80 degree weather. ALSO…IT. FUCKEN. WIMDY. And to top it off stank ass Bradford pears spaffing into the breeze through spring and summer. Oh and lots of tornados every year. Oklahoma weather is bullshit.
I actually moved here from Tulsa so I know very well what you mean lol. Left Tulsa 2 years ago after 15 years. I miss the thunderstorms but literally nothing else lol.
LOL perfect. The thunderstorms were the only thing I missed when I lived in other places too. Love a good thunderstorm.
A buddy of mine helped his sister move from AZ to Socal, he comes from a family of city-planner types, so he’s constantly going on about roadway designs. He told me that while my area has better constructed roads, and our drivers are terrible, that Socal had worse roads, but great drivers (road discipline wise, at least). Probably sample bias but neat trivia.
idunnololz“SoCal weather is so bipolar like one moment it could be hot and sunny and 10 minute drive later it could be cold and cloudy” /s
Washington has the worst drivers on the west coast.
Oregon has the best.
CA and AZ are both pretty average.
Arizona is not on the West Coast
Missouri here. Most of this area is valid in making the weather statement. Because we’re right where weather fronts live to meet up at to fight we will literally get times when the high is 35f one day and then 70f the next. I think last year we had a day that went from 78f to 19f over the course of like half a day.
TaterTotI 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?
In more ways than people realize. I’ve got so many heartbreaking stories.
My record for most drugs found in the bathroom was six baggies of crystal. One of my jobs as GM+ was “he’s been in the bathroom for a really long time… and there’s no noise in there”
“Alright I get the narcan from my car (we weren’t allowed to keep it in the building but sometimes you need narcan)”
Another horrible story is the time I spent all day stomping on baby Jesus. Products have to be destroyed so not peasants can take them out of the trash. Surprisingly a lot of people didn’t want to stomp on Jesus Christmas ornaments. So I went around to all the store to stomp on Jesus for them.
I figure if some place is selling Jesus merch to amass wealth, it’s not intended as a holy item and shouldn’t be treated as one. Stomp away. Lol
That said though, the company demanding damaging product before chucking it is just shit tier behavior.
I’ve only been in one. The food I saw meant for humans, I wouldn’t feed to my pets. Never again
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.
I’ve got bad news for you about capitalism in general.
Dollar tree isn’t specifically bad. In fact I recommend working there if you need a lot of experience really quickly. It’s “easy “ in that way. You’ll move up faster than you would at Walmart.
But yeah most stores regardless of brand there is ALOT more going on than you see. Like someone dropping dead in line 10 min before you walked in. If the store manager is running the register at any store something very bad happend s/happening
Also on a lighter note, I don’t believe in Nebraska. It’s a myth. I’ve never met a person from Nebraska and neither has anyone one else. I’ve never seen a Nebraskan license plate. Is it Nebraskan? Nebraskanight? Nebraskanought?
Do you guys have austronoughts or something? Or is it just corn?
The next town over from me is having a dispute over repaint the water tower that currently features someone you’ve never heard of and his (music?) career.
Anyway I suspect Nebraska news is that all the time.
To be clear I’ll take my stereotype card. I’m from Texas. Yes I had horses but not everyone from Texas did… yes I rode it to school for special events but it wasn’t a day to day a thing. We had a car.
What does Nebraska have? Elephants? My god do you guy have like mammoths or something. I bet you have a good hockey team. I don’t watch sports but it sounds like a Nebraska thing “Nebraska mammoths”
I know sports teams are normally named after a city but I can’t think of a single city in Nebraska. Nebraska city? My good is the state capital Nebraska city and it has an amazing zoo and a board walk are that’s kinda dangerous after sundown?
Nebraska isn’t real
Butthurt much? Lmao epic crashout
Sure, but I was talking about general complaints. Things like, “the drivers here are so bad”, “the winters are too cold and the summers are too hot”, “the government sure is poorly run”, “the yellow sports car parked out in front of the fast food place I work looks so stupid”, “I hate my boss and his stupid name, like seriously, who is named Methuselah Honeysuckle”, and “If they don’t give me a raise this time, I’m going to start a union, I’m serious, working a Chipotle sucks”.
You know, the kind of stuff that could never be traced back to me.
I totally get that and thought about it. People reading it might think differently and I wanted to warn them. Not specifically you.
Funny story though: my ex wife lived in the same small town as me and she told me “you’re employees were talking shit about you”
“Well yeah… I’m the boss. We all talk shit about our bosses “
“Do you want to know what they said “
“Nope.‘if it’s important they’ll talk me directly “
Yeah well in [insert location] we have two seasons, winter and construction.
QuinnyCodedFlorida is hot and construction
PaupersSerenadeConstruction isn’t a season where I’m at, it’s a constant. Our seasons are hot, wildfire, mudslide, and earthquake.
mercClosest we get to snow is the ash from wildfires, womp womp. Nearby mountains get snow though, so that’s nice.
PNW here, nope, it’s just a light rain, sometimes some sun, but that’s seasonal. Rarely there’s a storm.
The Midwest on the other hand, nah it typically gives you fair warning when it’s about to do something crazy
Living in Seattle there weren’t like extreme weather swings but there are days where you get to see several types of weather softly cycle through. Sometimes in the winter I’d get snow and rain and sun and fog all in a single day, or days where I look in one direction and it’s rain and can’t see the sky and look the other direction and it’s blue skies and sun. Seattle has such stellar rainbows because of this
TheDemonBuerIt is a scientific fact that Tennessee has the worst drivers. Not my state, btw.
Ricky RigatoniEveryone in the midatlantic agrees delaware drivers are the worst.
not a real state
LemmyoutofhereLaughs in Canadian.
No Californian would say that. The weather is stable and nice 9 months of the year and cloudy and nice the sun the other 3.
explodicleUnless it’s a little bit too hot and too dry
New Mexico - uhh, no? It’s just sunny…
I think the most extreme and consistent bipolar weather I’ve seen was in Nevada where during the night it’d get down to 30°F (-1°C) and then almost as soon as the sun came up the frost would evaporate as daytime temperatures rose to 113°F (45°C)
In terms of chaos, I’d say Utah takes the cake. Not just because it can go from snowing to 90°F weather and back repeatedly in a week, but because during those chaotic weeks you can drive less than an hour in any direction and find completely different weather.
If violence in the chaos is desired, the southern Midwest probably wins. Tornadoes and golf ball sized hail will fuck up your day and then everything is unbearably sunny again. The east is a close second since it gets wrecked by hurricanes occasionally, but less frequently than tornadoes hit the midwest
I doubt Californians think their state is bipolar. Same with other temperate states.
Sterile_TechniquePer my experience, Oklahoma has the dumbest drivers, Texas and California are tied for the most aggressive drivers (but simultaneously skilled just enough to not cause mass genocide), and Virginia has the worst road layout.
There’s a lot of different flavors of shit.
There’s a big difference between drivers who only drive in rural areas and drivers who drive in crowded rush hour traffic in big cities. And, different big cities have their own challenges. As a visitor, trying to navigate LA’s freeway hell was awful, and the drivers who were used to it were not at all accommodating. But, I think LA drivers would find driving in Boston and its Masshole drivers to be hell, because it’s all about squeezing down narrow streets that come from a time before automobiles.
California I believe has the statistically worst drivers. New York id say has the most insane but skillful enough to somehow not die drivers.
Call me weird but I enjoy driving in Manhattan. People drive at a reasonable pace.
Never been to the east coast (that’s a goal for sure though), but I totally get that. It’s why I like driving the areas surrounding LA. People are more decisive while driving than other states up the coast. The California driver is more likely to be an asshole, yes, but one who knows what’s happening around them, makes a decision, and stick to it. My home state drives (ha) me insane with the amount of people who just seem totally checked out, either fiddling around on a cell phone or some other bullshit that shouldn’t be done while driving.
Exactly. The real pro move is driving in Montreal.
