I live in Austin so yes

It's about what annoys you. I'm from Texas, and the cali transplants there are especially awful. Everyone choosing to move to Texas from California is objectively in the running for the worst person ever award and they somehow got in n out imported even though in the great hierarchy of burgerland, in n out is positively dogshit. nobody needed lines shutting down dallas area traffic for the most mid burger you'll ever overpay for.

But Texas has native brands of insufferable, including really insufferable prosleytizing christians, busybodies shoving their nose in your business, and an appreciably oversized contingent of outright fascists

I moved to seattle in 2018 as a uhaul lesbian, and the big culture shock is the profound amount of passive aggression and conflict avoidance. The utter indifference and lack of care for anything not in the immediate concern the average washingtonian is alarming sometimes. I prefer it to Texas busybodies though. The quickest way to get people to give a shit is seeing somebody fuck with you when you're minding yoru own business.

The kind of place where you can eat pavement riding your bike through an industrial park to get to work and nobody even stops to check on you, but if somebody is being a bigot at you on the bus, the person is likely to get jumped. It's real weird, and i'd change it if i could

washington drivers suck shit and dont know what traffic laws are, but all the cali plates i see are like that plus they're trying to actively get you killed

There are regional ways of being annoying that Californians have, and then they also vigorously export their shit too, and that's why i think they probably suck more than the national average

at least until you get to new york

fuck new yorkers.

I'm from Ohio and have really only been to the East Coast, so on surface I want to say California seems really cool. Amazing beaches, pretty happening place. If I put my leftism aside and look at things differently, I can see myself liking California.

But to me it also looks like one of the most hypocritical states. Some of its progressiveness is to be commended, but never get between a Californian homeowner and their precious property values. They genuinely see the housing crisis as "worth it" just for their property values. Try a free market approach and want to relax zoning and build more housing to meet the sky-high demand? They will gleefully block it all and tell their children to "go and bring progressive values to red states" or queer people who are rich enough to leave red states to "stay and fight" their hopeless battle. They don't see the state as a state, but more like a country club.

If I ever get a high-paying job, I think I'll fuck off to New York or Washington or something when leaving Ohio.

They're up there for sure, seconding the self-centered and holier than thou while actually as bigoted and fucked up as everywhere else, if not more so, think of the Armistices from Get Out. The midwest has passive aggressiveness as the default, in CA it was pretty open or the hostile but pretending to be civil ploy.

I mean considering their bizarre and deranged reactions to other people using their signal lights I would yes they top the list of most annoying
