You've heard it time and time again. That dreaded, repetitive story told by native Californians on all the ways their state sucks. The consistent complaining that ensues when the words "Cali, "California," "West Coast" or "Golden State" are muttered. Here's the 10 complaints every Californian mentions way too often.
1. You can drive from the top of California to the bottom without ever losing sight of the beach.
Don't you hate that? Me too.
2. There are mountains everywhere you look.
That's the worst. Is it too much to ask for to have industrial buildings to look at while I drive?
3. There are two famous cities in one state?
These poor people. Good shopping, good food, and amazing views? The travesty.
4. The state is filled with surfers and skaters.
Um, Ew.
5. The people there, are like mostly welcoming of all people.
Gross, am I right? Human rights? No thank you!
6. California's musicians are sub par at best.
I think we can all agree that G-Eazy, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Guns and Roses and Snoop Dogg are all very average performers.
7. The music festivals are the worst in the country.
Coachella, Outside Lands, Stagecoach—all major disappointments.
8. A lot of the restaurants are turning healthy?
Who wants organic, chemical free and non genetically modified food? Sounds pretty disgusting if you ask me. Not to mention it's just wrong.
9. The weather is 75 degrees most of the year.
Naturally golden skin and no snow days. That sounds like somewhere I don't want to be.
10. The sports teams are all pretty good.
Winning just takes so much effort, I don't have the time to invest in that nonsense.
In case you didn't catch my drift, California is pretty rad. This whole article was a lie. There is no place better than California, we have everything.
