Beverly Hills Rant





Beverly Hills Rant

(9021 oh no! )

No offense to beverhillians but this will be offensive. One of my jobs that is fairly new is in the West Hollywood/ Beverly hills area.  Where the crosswalks are rainbow and the boys are gay and fabulous lol.  Beautiful area but the people.. not so much.. but let me explain.  I'm more specifically talking about Beverly Hills "traffic".  There's not even words for the way these people drive.. I already seen multiple accidents happen right in front of me because people are just out of control! No one has patience. Everyone is PUMPing on their breaks and gas so freaking HARD!! Damn near crashing every time they stop.. Screaming, doing obscene and EXTRA gestures! but you know what.. I've come up with a theory why everyone is like that over here. Because people aren't just the way they are because they are the way they are if that makes sense.  There is a reason.  I think one is obvious and that is of course the congestion in this area.  That's a given.  But there's other areas that are congested and you don't feel like your in the pit of hell driving in it.  So what makes this place different?  I think it's the not having patience and the absence of more pressing concerns honestly.  In my area, it's less congested and also it's not an area like Beverly Hills or even Santa Monica for that matter.  It's just a regular working class area.  Nothing really plush about it. So because of this I think, and I know it sounds strange, people let you go first, they have more patience and we are much more polite on the road in general.  I know Santa Monica pretty well and it has a mix of plush and not so plush areas but the people almost have the same feelings and reactions as beverhillians but just a little more relaxed.. Over here though, people are on 100 all the time. lol. Like they don't even sit back fully in their seats lol. If you can picture that. Literally. looking for things to be upset with almost it seems.  I think when your in an area where collectively there aren't more pressing concerns such as bills and things like this, you start to focus outside of yourself and also on 'minor' things such as the way someone is driving for instance.

I think it's funny in general how if your lost for example so you may be driving a little slow, that the people behind you 'assume' that your just being 'rude'.  Like I am just taking my time to purposely piss the people off behind me. As if I have a grudge against someone I don't know for absolutely no reason lol. Or like I'm trying to play a little game with you lol.  This is something that happens everywhere but in this area specifically, it's like on 100 max at all times. And they let you know.  They speed off in a way that sounds like there car is gonna explode they put so much pressure on it.  AND not only do they speed off cause obviously they are in a big rush, they make sure they cut you off or do something very sarcastic through their window! lol Like a thumbs up for the way your driving. They gotta get you back lol. This one lady had to cut in front of me, and for me this is no big deal, but because of the area, she probably assumed this was a big deal to me (as I would assume also because people are such pricks on the road here) that she did the twinkle fingers at me to say thanks! lmao  Like instead of putting your hand up to say thanks, she sarcastically twinkled her fingers lol. Just a mess! lol 

The other day, my car broke down.  My rim was literally on the floor!  I had my emergency lights on and everything to let others know.  And this car was honking like crazy behind me. Then they SPEED off and the woman in the car stared daggers at me like she was going to kill me!!  It's like what in the hell!  I can't mooove!!!! As I've been driving through here and know the area much better and what to expect from people, I've been able to deal with all of it much better.  But it's like stuff like that is ridiculous!  It shouldn't be that way.  They have beautiful streets and shops and it can't even be appreciated because the people are so nasty!
I suppose with much of a good thing has to come a bad thing also.  And along with the bad for Beverly Hills is pretty streets to drive in that you can't really even look at because your too busy trying to dodge for your life! 
Rant ended!


PSA: Be kind to others. Don't assume that their actions has anything to do with you. Let people cut in and go in front of you. And with all these things, sit back in your car with some music on and enjoy the ride because you will enjoy it much more this way. oh. and wake up on time! You can't be to angry if you left with enough time to get to where your going!
