Why I Think Seattle Sucks

MOST people I've encountered are truly bizarre. Just when I thought I've heard it all, I come across something new. Maybe because I have no choice but to work in one of the few places left that are actually STILL hiring (no names but it's State funded)...hehe...

i just got a ticket for jaywalking. i recently moved here from new york shitty; i've lived also in berkeley, chicago, and pittsburgh (the only place that sucks worse than this place!!) never before has this happened to me. now i realize why everyone stands like a bunch of idiots waiting for the light to change when there's no traffic! the funniest thing was that, right across the street, while the pig motherfuckers were writing the ticket that i wiped my ass with and sent to them, there was a guy selling fucking crack or heroin to someone within plain sight of us. they basically said they could give a shit and since i had an out of town i.d., i guess they wanted to prove something.

Everything That Sucks About Seattle

Where do I start on this rant about how much I hate Seattle? First of all, what started all this is the rain. I think it's Bull Shit when I hear people from Seattle tell others that it really doesn't rain here all that much. Let me tell ya... it does. It might not have a huge amount of inches per year, however it takes it's damn time when it does rain. Just get it over with for christ sake. All the sky does is mist and sprinle most of the time. If it could just rain and get it over with it would be so much better.

Don't let the mountains and lakes bamboozle you into thinking Seattle's a great city. The truth is that it's not. The people say friendly gestures but never come through. They're opinionated but with no guts to say anything. They say it doesn't rain much, but it's always still cloudy. The population is diverse but you have to drive half an hour to find it. They'll give you a parking ticket for being 34 seconds over your meter, J walking when no cars are visible, they actually tow cars in abandoned parking lots, and bums break into your car, in well lit parking garages downtown, just for the change in your cup holder. You can't walk out of a coffee shope without your clothes reeking like coffee. And every type of food has this awful Seattle bland flavor because bland is healthy! Sorry buddy, Seattle's just too phony!

They Hate the word California - Why??

I've lived in Seattle most of my life and never in California. One time a friend went to San Francisco and brought me back a sweatshirt that said San Francisco on it.

I don't mean politics or anything like that either. I went on a job interview and just wore a basic office skirt - knee length skirt and then at lunch this guy told me he'd turned a woman into HR for sexual harrassment because she wore a skirt like mine and it made him uncomfortable because when she sat down it went above her knees.

I am writing a follow-up to the "NEED HELP!!" article I posted back in May. I would like to thank everyone who offered me advice by posting a response on this website or by contacting me via e-mail. Your feedback gave me a lot to think over, and at the very least, I got a few good laughs during a time when I didn't have much to laugh about. So, yeah, thanks.

First, some sarcasm...a talent that every Seattleite is nipple fed on! I live here because I like the psycho inbred and inward-looking weather that hits us every fall. I like being up to my neck in the land-tanker SUV's of the Northwests "progressives". I like the fish-belly sheen of pale zombies looking for their latte fix while having one ear permanently super glued to their cellphone.

Seattle Zap

Why does Seattle suck? I believe it's a socially suffocating city. The unwritten law is that it takes up to 5 years for transplants to develop a circle of real friends in Seattle. One person I spoke to said that friendships in Seattle are more on a one to one basis. Another person I know mentioned that there is a correlation between Seattle and the Nordic countries in Europe, mainly Sweden. My friend mentioned that in Sweden people tend to be more private than in other European countries. Since there is a lot of Nordic heritage in Seattle, maybe some of their behaviors have rubbed off on other folks to where being socially exclusive becomes the norm.

Seattle: National Armpit & Political Basket Case

I moved from Seattle a little more than a year ago and I do have some regrets! I regret not having moved 20 years ago to Southern California. Sure everyone here is "Fruit, Nut or Flake" but the weather is great, the people awesome and life is wonderful in paradise.

All I want for Christmas is to live in a city with...
Culture... (And, I do mean more than grunge, REI, Starbucks, Microsoft and lets not forget Seattle's pathetic attempts at fine dinning.)

You can say what you want. I moved to Seattle from overseas years ago. And i love it here. I stand vulnerable to correction. I've never been anywhere else in the US other than WA. I think seattle is great. It has its pros and cons. It's not for everybody, just like every other city.

A Sad Story

Once, many years ago there was a boy who was cute and lovable, who liked to sit for hours imagining the possibilities of what his little life might entail. Free were his dreams and thoughts and around every corner seemed to be waiting the promise of something wonderful. All loved him, and no matter what or who his company, subtly they enveloped him and made him one of them. The boy would often chuckle as to eachother, these vastly disperate groups were often unknowing so different -that what or who they saw in him was merely the subtle reflection of all they could see. But, he was joyous and happy.

I'm living right now in San Francisco, and it is the most awful place on earth. The cursed sun shines year round, and all the happy hip people make me mad. Traffic here is so horrible, but when it moves people drive sooo fast. I need space. I need green. I need good coffee from Starbucks. I need people to stop talking to me in public. In short I need Seattle.
