I hear Dunkin' Donuts' Texas Toast isn't even made in Texas.
I hear all my exes live in Texas.
I hear y'all cowboys suck from the Ayn Rand teat.
Also, George and George.

I lived in Colorado and we would frequently get waves of millions of people from Texas and California, some from AZ and NM too but...
It gets a little frustrating sometimes.

Well now that several million of you have moved here it's expensive here now too.
Most of them are the rejects as well, the fat ugly stupid ones.

I enjoy driving in Socal much more than Norcal. At least in Socal most of the drivers drive fast. In Norcal you always have those idiots driving their Prius' in the fast lane. It's like fuck off with your 120 horsepower tree-hugging nerd mobile. Either drive AT LEAST to the speed limit, or get the hell out of the fast lane!
Also, no one in Norcal signals when changing lanes, and I figured out why: people there don't like other people getting in front of them in their lanes, so they speed up to cut you out of getting in front of them. So people stopped signalling so drivers don't know you're planning on cutting in front of them.
The other reason Norcal drivers are terrible is that there are a lot of techie-transplants from other countries (India and China), so they drive like they're in their own countries or they are intimidated by the speed that American's drive at and drive super slow and timid. Add that to the fact there are only 2 options on the peninsula to go between SF and San Jose... fuck the 101, and fuck the 280 equally. I'd much rather be stuck in traffic in LA than stuck in traffic in SF. Norcal's infrastructure was not built for that amount of population.

Driving in LA is the absolute fuckin' worst. That said, I would rather be stuck in traffic in LA than driving down an open road in Texas, because well, you're still in Texas. Texans are kind of like amiga1200, they think they're superior to everyone and that their state and everything about it is the best. Bunch of ignorant fagits for the most part who are scared of people who don't live like them. If Fox News was a geographic location, it'd be Texas. I have a lifelong Chicagoan friend and a few years ago she moved to Texas, now she's fully one of them. It's unfortunate.

It's orders of magnitude worse than anything else I've seen. I lived near an I-10 overpass and would regularly see traffic just parked on the Interstate. I saw standstills on the surface roads every morning, lasting for my whole commute (as I walked/biked by).

It seems worse than Htown traffic. But we ride horses in the HOV lane

If madman lived here for a month he would never leave.
He would 100% wear a cowboy hat and jack up his Prius

Damn. So for comparison, my office is 13 miles from my house. It takes me 45 minutes to an hour and 15 to get there. If I were going in the opposite direction (away from the city), the same distance would take me 20 minutes tops. It's worse than that? And is there a major / obvious reason why it's so bad other than overpopulation?
I've never seen anyone around here riding a horse except for some po-pos in the cobblestone parts of the city, but the on-ramps do have "No horses" signs. They don't have "No donkey" signs, though, so that situation is pretty ambiguous.

Driving around California basically the entire time I've been driving tells me it's a combination of your average congested population all using the same road at once coupled with what Opt2not was saying about how merging works around here, if everyone stayed in the lane that suited them and all went a consistent speed, there would be much less to no traffic, well, unless you also factor in accidents. That's why I'm looking forward to the self driving cars, it'll mean less fucking idiots zipping back and forth between lanes like a lunatic

Isn't Houston also the fattest city in America?

According to this article, it's numero uno. LA is number 9, though.

Yeah Houston is almost always one of the fattest cities depending on criteria used to rank them. It's that Texas mentality, they can do whatever they want, they're true Americans! They ain't no commies, they've got the right to give themselves heart disease if they want to. You don't like it? Get outta Texas, boy!
