Sir Clinksalot Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM SO-CAL IF....... - Your monthly house payments exceed your annual income. - You drive next to a Rolls Royce and don't notice. - You don't know anyone's phone number unless you check your cell phone. - You speak Spanish, but you're not Mexican. (Or you're Mexican but can't speak Spanish) -You begin to "lie" to your friends about how close you are when you know damn well that it'll take you at least an hour to get there. **Getting anywhere from point A to point B, no matter what the distance, takes about "twenty minutes". - You drive to your neighborhood block party. -In the "winter", you can go to the beach and ski at Big Bear on the same day. -You eat a different ethnic food for every meal. (Taco Bell does not count) - If your destination is more than 5 minutes away on foot, you're definitely driving. -Calling your neighbors requires knowing their area code. -You know what 'In N Out' is and feel bad for all the other states because they don't have any. - You don't stop at a STOP sign, you do a "California Roll". -You really can never be too rich or too thin or too tan. - You've partied in Tijuana at least 3 times... You don't remember at least 1 of them. - You go to a tanning salon before going to the beach. - You know what a Mexican Pizza is, and it's not the one at Taco Bell. -Your cell phone has left a permanent impression on the side of your head. - You think that Venice is a beach. - The waitress asks if you'd like "carbs" in your meal. - You know who the tinsel underwear dude in Venice Beach is. - You classify new people you meet by their Area Code. An "818" would never date a "562" and anyone from "323" or "213" is ghetto/second class. Best area cod! e: "714." Nobody likes anyone from the "909" because it stinks there. - You call 911 and they put you on hold. - You have a gym membership because it's mandatory. - The gym is packed at 3pm...on a workday. - You think you are better than the people who live "Over the Hill". It doesn't matter which side of the hill you are currently residing, you are just better than them, for whatever reason. - You know that if you drive two miles in any direction you will find a McDonald's or a Starbucks. - You know what "sigalert", "PCH", and "the five" mean. - You can't remember . . . is pot illegal? -It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH" - The Terminator is your governor. -You know that Taco Bell ISN'T Mexican Food.

Angry_Gumball Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Well, I don't live in So Cal but Nor Cal is pretty much the same. You know you live in So/Nor Cal when... -you see a freshly painted building tagged with gang writing first thing the next day -the driver behind you is talking on their cell phone/grooming themselves while driving in heavy traffic -you have the snotty people in the valley(s) and the down to earth/poor people outside of the valley -you do a full 3 second stop at an intersection because you see a cop and the cop just drifts thru the stop sign at 3 mph instead of making a complete stop -you can satisfy your burger cravings at In n Out -you get weird looks when visiting opposite end of the state (Nor cal people being stared at by So Cal-ers and vice versa) -you're never too far from a theme park -you have more foriegn food restaurants than domestic food That's all I can think of for now.

smells_like_team_disney Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 (Or you're Mexican but can't speak Spanish) Ahhh, it's so funny how true this is. I actually have a friend who is very proud of being "white-washed," as she calls it . White Mexicans are silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
