well, I was partially referencing the song, but yeah.. as a whole LA is not a walking city. there are neighborhoods and pockets of communities. but the city is so spread out.
come by sometime I'll show you around tro. that is if I can get a day off work
as an aside we do have a pretty thriving bicycle community in LA

Someday thanks floop.
Another walking one. A group of friends walking in a row taking up the whole width like they're in a commercial or something. I've never liked group mentality. We're individuals. The universe is composed of two things; everything that is you and everything that is not. Your skin marks the boundry. It's not difficult.

When I first went to LA I totally bought into the myth peddled by tour guides and the popular media that I would get car jacked, raped, robbed and probably killed as well. I only ever had a problem with the traffic loved the food, the diversity and the cultural experience on offer. I don't remember it as a walking city but compared to most cities in Asia it's not too bad.

when people begin a sentence by first making a lot of preface type statements, for a long time, when you have no idea what they're talking about till 45 seconds to 2 minutes into the sentence...
"First off, well let me just say, I don't always feel this way about this, and before I get into it let me just tell you that when this happened, you should know, I wasn't wearing any shoes. Actually, I did have shoes on but was taking then off... It was really hot yesterday, as you know. Kind if like it is today except more humid......... "

yes. get on with it. my mother-in-law does this. actually, she says "oh, this was so funny!" then starts to laugh a lot (even though we obviously do not yet know what was so damn funny) and then starts talking through the laughter, completely unintelligible.
it never turns out to actually be funny.

walking with someone (especially to eat) and they run into an acquaintance - chat for a bit (which is fine) - but then can never wrap up the conversation. a simple "well, we're headed to go eat so..." interspersed would help things along

Does that date back to Scum? Say it ain't so.
I have a hard time listening to phony tri state accents in commercials. Even the ones that sound authentic bother my ears. I guess my real beef is with advertising.
I can't stand the folksy plucking of strings track used in so many tv spots. What is it? "I'd like to hear something more whimsical" touchy feely shite is what it is. |

- lazy or improper burrito folding
- when you cross paths with someone on a sidewalk and about 5 feet before you cross they spit on the ground. to me this an indication that said person would like to get into fisticuffs
- dirty hippy kids who hang out in front of Whole Foods, "Do you have a minute for the environment?" "Do you have a minute for a shower?"
- people who call California "Cali"

People who think they can whistle
People who make themselves at home in every place they find themselves in.
By the way floop, the converse peeve, that's genius. Another one. People ahead of me at the supermarket checkout who dither bagging up and paying. Conversely people behind me that grumble that I'm taking too long when clearly I'm not.

He added 10% when work in commercials rolled up. He's worse than borstal scum, he's money whore.
Using regional accents to add authenticity is at least 10% more desperate than the usual tricks.

when someone makes an obviously unnecessary physical gesture so they can showcase their dumb tattoo
putting too many pickles on my fucking sandwich when I specifically requested "light on pickles"
being presented with a sub that is drowning in diced pickles I have to scrape off
diced pickles, or any vegetable for that matter

Do you sometimes get lightheaded when you're hungry?

- tattood hipster girls who wear vintage dresses and have food blogs that basically consist of a few Instagram pictures of cupcakes or cappuccino foam and them LOTS of lifestyle shots of them being really cool wearing funny hats and riding vintage bicycles, hanging out with other people dressed in 1890's garb, all the while not really providing any solid food information - reviews or recipes
- fedoras
- families or a group of friends who walk together on a pathway taking up the whole path, as if they own said path. this usually happens with a certain ethnic group but I am not at liberty to say what group that might be. just saying though
- extremely slow crosswalk walkers. another phenomenon commonly linked, in my studies, to one ethnic group, though not exclusive to that group. especially among the elderly population of this group. not that there would be anything wrong with that
- people who generalize about ethnic groups
- people who walk in the bike lane. especially when the bike lane is clearly labeled bike lane, and when there is a fucking side walk next to the bike lane

The triumph of style over substance. Maybe it's the anonymity of modern web life that makes people so desperately YEARN to be noticed. As I'm sure I've said before, these days it's not as important to do something as it is to MAKE PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU DID IT. Shove it down their throats but do in a way that on the surface seems subtle. In reality it's a pageant of superficiality. I find myself doing it occasionally but this illness is much more manageable without Facebook in my life. See, I'm bragging already. |

Use of the word "literally" when something is meant figuratively.
For example, if you "literally died" you would not be telling me about it right now. |

- toilet seats that don't stay up when you're trying to take a piss (as a bloke). whenever i'm using a toilet that does this in someone else's home, where men live, i can't understand why they haven't sorted it out yet.
I like to complain |

I don't get it either. My friend's bathroom is like that. The first time I lifted the toilet seat it crashed back down; a few times after I'd still forget and just catch it in time, then stand there pissing while holding it back up. Definitely something I'd fix immediately. |
