3 Ways to Piss off a Californian

Hey there fellow travelers, whenever we travel we want to make sure we don't upset the locals, and here in California is no different. So here are three ways you can upset the locals when you visit California.
Dissing in-n-out, saying it is all one state, and believing all those California stereotypes.

Saying Cali instantly marks you as a rube. There is also a big split between northern and southern California. We have pretty distinct cultures from each other, not to mention the big divide between rural and urban parts of the state.

The Central Valley has to have the crappiest weather and air in all of the USA. Dozens of days in a row of over 100 degrees. And smoke from wildfires that nearly chokes us for several months ever year. I’ll be moving out of here this month! I love California, but not the Central Valley!

You can think of California as its own international destination, especially SoCal. Largest Chinese, Korean, Japanese, ,Vietnamese populations outside of Asia, largest Hispanic population outside Latin America, and hubs of almost every culture right in SoCal.

@@junenam145 i don’t think it’s hate, it’s just kind of cliche to us, like ‘Frisco’.

It’s like everybody says; California isn’t just one -lace. It’s so, so many places wrapped up in one. If you live in the 916, you’re an hour from the ocean, or the snow. Pretty kick ass…

[@painter662]

as a Californian, I enjoyed the video. As for In-n-out Burger... I think most Californian's will simply look at you like you're nuts. not really get pissed off... the two big draws to In-n-out are the French fries are in their skin til they get sliced for your order. Yes each station does have a potato slicer at it. the over all quality is good, and amazingly consistent. In-n-out is not a franchise, its family owned and all the supplies are delivered from the central distribution center the day you buy them. they empty the distribution center every day also. so what you get is as fresh as it possibly can be. but the fun thing about In-n-out is the hidden menu which you can find on line. but basically you can get a burger pretty much any way you can imagine it. Yes my first day in California way to many years ago to admit to, I was taken to In-n-out burger... much to my hosts surprise I wasn't fond of them. I dislike the special sauce... 20 years later, I was told in no uncertain terms then order it with Catchup and mustard dummy. Made all the difference in the world:) The California environment... this should say a lot... 9 national parks, 200+ state parks. the highest point in the lower 48 100 miles from the lowest point in North America. we have recorded the hottest temperature in the world, and the coldest in the lower 48. about 150 miles apart. don't ever confuse the three metro areas with each other they are all very very different. and the Central Valley resembles Kansas more than the Image most tourist have of "California". there is a reason 40 million people live here, yet 2/3rds of the state is protected from urban encroachment as a National forest. number 3, California is probably the or at least one of the most diverse states in the US on just about any measure. the one thing that really separates it from most, is in California if you are seriously looking, you will find a way to realistically pursue your dreams, and in many cases achieve them.

[@yournameshere]

As a born and raised California native I agree with this oversimplification of ways to piss off Californians. Especially the part about California being all the same. In fact, Southern and Northern California are so different that they're essentially completely different states. However, while there's a lot of SoCal/NorCal rivalry, at the end of the day we Californians are proud of our state's vast diversity and believe it's part of the reason why California is the best state in the union!

[@brianmccarthy5557]

@@KingOf_America1776 BigDickBlack (could be little pee pee black or Jewish guy) is typical of the cross we remaining normal Californians have to bear. Thirty years ago this state was largely run by conservative Republicans. There was a massive Federal investigation uncovering our typical huge corruption. Then Clinton came in and fired every Federal attorney in every state replacing all of them with Democrat cronies. The RINO's didn't object and the corruption scandal was allowed to fester on. The Republicans had the majority in the legislature and were set to reverse decades of absurd gerrymanders. The Domocrats bought off one female Northern California legislator and started the really horrible redistricting that still continues. She retired to her brand new big ranch up north and her new vacation homes. The election laws were changed or not enforced. We almost certainly have the most corrupted electoral system in the country. An idiot alliance of RINO's and libertarians aided the Democrats in putting it in. The "Gubernator" Schwarzneggger proved to be a completely disastrous wimp, proving every negative idea you ever had about muscle boys to be true. While a huge percentage of Californians are still Trump conservatives we have been rendered powerless. Our California Republican Party is largely worthless RINO's, which is why nobody should ever trust Kevin McCarthy (not a close relative) or Harmeet Dhillon. Larry Elder is one of the few California conservatives I have some faith in. The National Republican Party, and we have all seen in the last year what a pack of worthless grifters they are, has abandoned us, claiming we are a Deep Blue state. They should know, they caused the situation. So now we have a state effectively run by little pee pee black (or Jewish guy).

Another thing, speaking for LA specifically as a local, not turning left when the light turns yellow. A lot of LA doesn’t have left turning lights, so it’s expected that once the light turns yellow, two or three cars go, and then once it turns red, another car or two should go. Otherwise, you’ll be waiting to make a left for years.

[@europaepsilon7970]

As a Californian i would say in-n-out is alright, i only get it whenever I'm randomly hungry at 1am (although they do have really good prices, it's because they have few ingredients), I'd rather go to the habit that's close by, the tuna sandwich is really good (One way you could piss me off is if you talk bad about weed but you're okay with cigarettes and alcohol) (Also when you make assumptions about vegan food like "I thought it was suppose to taste healthy" "if there's no meat then what gives it flavor?", You ever heard of SEASONING, you know the same thing you add to your meat?, The only claim that vegan food makes it that it doesn't have animal products, so I don't know why people assume it has to be healthy, or that it's flavorless)

[@sergpie]

I live in San Diego, and though there has been an increase in indigence, vacant storefronts, trash, and tents, I do have to say, that there is definitely a stark divide between the portrayal of California, versus what happens at the local level. San Francisco and portions of Los Angeles are not wholly representative of what is happening in our cities. I’m very conservatively minded, and haven’t been compelled to leave on an exodus to a state that has many of their own issues, along with infrastructure and real estate not coping due to mass relocations across the USA. What I do believe, is that, with proper planning and funding for the homeless population, drug rehabilitation, securing the border, and incentivizing small businesses and consumers without choking them with taxes and regulations, would help restore a little of what was lost in the last few decades.

[@allendean9807]

1. Do not call it Cali…. It’s So-Cal, Central Valley, Nor Cal… 2. It’s NEVER called “Frisco”.. it’s San Francisco, or if you’re from NorCal, it’s The City. 3.

I still think California is the best state to live-in the US,it has its problems,but who wouldn't want to live there/not necessarily in LA/

[@ACEDIAMOND666]

As a born and lifelong California native, and I am 44, be 45 this year..... My home state is a shithole being run into the ground by insane idiots. Breaks my heart.

[@tstocker6926]

What % of California's are jammed into the thin costal strip. That's the only area where the weather is ideal. California literally means , hot oven

[@MrMet-ih5jv]

California is beautiful but is being ran to the ground by politics. The cities are all disgusting with trash, homelessness, crime,etc

[@rudymelo880]

We really dont talk about or think about in n out that much or even care too much about opinions on it. Its an interesting stereotype. Its decent but the lines are always too long. Its nice that its open late though

[@JB-lm5xt]

Hell yeah on in n out. Yes on 2. North and south are 2 different things!

[@offthebeatenpathadventures1348]

California has it all. The diving in Monterey is incredible.

Just go to Texas and swim in the brown ocean if you hate California.

I am born and raised in CA; dissing In-N-Out Burger is not as bad as it seems. Goes to show that it depends on generation, and that anything someone likes will make them mad by not liking it. I agree that in any state or country if you say that it is all the same that it is highly likely to made someone mad. Same with stereotyping in general is a no go everywhere.

[@MagnificentGermanywithDarion]

Heheh, that’s awesome:)

[@murlough23]

I'll add my voice to the list of Californians who say In-N-Out's good, but not my favorite thing. I like variety. In-N-Out is excellent at a handful of very specific things. I pretty much order the same thing every time I go there (Double Double animal style), and I enjoy it, but I don't feel the need to go back more than roughly once a year. I'll visit the build-your-own-burger type places more frequently because I'm less likely to order the exact same thing twice. The one thing that really irritates me when friends or relatives visit is the expectation that I'll take them to Hollywood, Disneyland, or some other very touristy and crowded place. Go do that stuff on your own time! I avoid those places like the plague. (Er, bad example because the plague is everywhere now. I avoid those places MORE than the plague.)

[@Nagranddan]

In and Out isn't my favorite, but I find they're consistent in taste and they're cheaper than the other burger fast foods. A great place to stop if you're road tripping and see one on the way.

[@RyogaEchizen]

Homelessness is insane in that state.

[@johnathin0061892]

Not surprising. Most people who live there are pretty insane in general.

[@melbaker9495]

Our housing costs are high and a lot of people move here with some vague idea that they want to live here, but don't have a plan for work or savings to get them started. Plus the massive opiod crisis that has hit the U.S. is more visible here because we have dense urban communities. The homeless are able to hide in big sprawling city's with vacant homes. Not the case here.

[@BeliaLastes]

@@johnathin0061892 😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@nunyabeezwacks1408]

That’s because the other states export their homeless to California. Take care of your own homeless y’all.

[@jamestucker8088]

It was the landmark Martin vs. Boise case that made it really hard for cities to deal with the homeless problem but we are working on it.

[@kitsune2334]

I’m from California and I diss in n out lol, #2 I respect I’m from all over cali that I’ve witnessed it’s diversity. I say Cali, nbd. Born and raised in California

[@brianmccarthy5557]

Won't disagree about the other two but the only person I know who's passionate about In 'n Out is my brother-in-law and even he wouldn't get mad if somebody didn't like it. I rarely eat fast food hamburgers but if I do my favorites are Burger King, Five Guys and Fatburger. Most of us rarely, if ever, go to the tourist spots except the beach, Disneyland and Knott's. We avoid Hollyweir and downtown LA as plague spots, which they literally are since the bubonic plague aka The Black Death, is endemic there due to the high quality of our civil leadership. All of whom I'm absolutely sure were fairly "elected". I grew up in a beach city with my siblings. Only one of my brothers ever surfed and only for a short period as a teenager long ago.

[@KayBrynae]

I do no. 1 all the time and I moved to Cali back in 2017 😂 I obviously live to cause chaos around here

Born n raised in California.. I say cali n doesn't upsetme when others say it either, and have never known anyone to get upset over in n out lol It's more the talk about who has better Mexican food 😅

[@mrbushlied7742]

I lived in California for three years, Silicon Valley, in the late 80's. My work required extensive stays in Los Angeles. I never liked California. I felt that I was an east coast person living on the west coast. So, I moved back east. Since then I have lived in three other countries: the UK, the UAE, and the Bahamas, where I now live. I even became a naturalised UK citizen in 2003. However, California has always been the most foreign and inhospitable to me. I just couldn't adapt.

[@cheesewithxbread]

That's the 80's. And it was Silicon Valley! East Bay would be more of your vibe.

[@JB-lm5xt]

There’s no reason to dis In`n`out! No reason to dis geography. No reason to reason to think everyone is tech or Hollywood! Thanks for this!

Welcome to Sacramento!

[@cajayson8301]

I'm a Californian and, to be honest, none of these three would piss me off. For one, In n Out have been assholes when it comes to the COVID pandemic so by all means hate on them. As for #2 and #3, I'd just roll my eyes and shrug it off. I will say that, aside from my older brother's best friend, I don't know anyone in my circle of friends (which is very big) who surfs.

[@andreww3803]

On point with people expecting you to know someone famous. If you don't know someone famous, then you must know someone from Compton or have been there. How to piss off Californians outside the state? Point out that stop signs aren't just a rolling suggestion and say how great your local Mexican food place is- we were raised on the real stuff :)

[@FullSpectrumWarrior]

Didn’t know any cared about cali feelings

[@saywhat7349]

The California on the news and the California that is experienced by those two live here are not the same.

[@Californiansurfer]

Texas has in out burger. Yes we are all surfers and skaters. Our food is international not like Midwest. Downey California

[@DividedAsOne]

I can't even with IN-N-OUT. I'm happily a former resident of CA. The hype for that place was/is just insane. And it's not even unique to LA, they're in Oregon, Utah, Colorado, and Texas. At least. Pretty sure there's one on/near the Vegas strip too. So, it's not even a California thing. Yeah, it's a perfectly good fast food place, but as for the name, you're in, and then you stay for a while. The location near where I lived on the corner of Balboa & Lassen in the valley would have the cars spilling out of the parking lot, two blocks down the street, blocking a lane of traffic. People would sit there for two hours. Not enough traffic on the 405?? (But at some locations you had the option to park and go inside, and that might only take 15 mins vs an hour+ sitting in the car line - so, that was willful traffic). So many better places to get a burger. I never hear anyone mention Carney's, hopefully still there. They had several locations when I lived there. It's a shame a chain gets so much hype, love, and attention.

[@fatine88]

Yes. I was raised in California and the In N Out thing is true 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sams3015]

I’ve heard that much about in & out burger, it better be good 🍔 Of course fast food generally is nicer in the states, so it could be shite and I wouldn’t know the difference

[@boogieheads]

Its definitely better than most fast food

[@arrgghh1555]

Fast food in nicer in the states? WTF? I could not disagree more. The best fast food in the US is on par with the worst in every other country I've been to. Also in & out is mediocre at best.

[@grantleyhughes]

Short and to the point. And as an Australian, I so want to try In-N-Out!!

[@gardyion2869]

I agree tho, California isn’t all the same, that would get me on a tangent

I do like In N Out Burger. I get it. But I hate the idea that people poop on the sidewalks in San Francisco, tho.
