Every Californians Ever (Part 1 of 2)

[@billyeveryteen7328]

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, I won't stand for these outrageous lies that these sketches are perpetuating: Griffith Park and the 5 are nowhere near the beach. You have to take the 10 all the way to west LA, past the 405 to get to the beaches. If you follow their directions, you're going to end up in Glendale, and they're all going to be wondering "whuuuuuuuyoudoin'ere?"

[@chancemiller9340]

@@wombatcube- In LA (west of Downtown) from almost Long Beach up into The (San Fernando) Valley, whenever people arrive to a location, especially if they are late, they proceed to tell the person they meet the route they took and frequently that other person then responds with an alternate route that would have been faster (in their mind). Also, if someone says "I've gotta go, because I have to drive to _______.", they will be asked which route that they are planning to take and then, if that is not the best route in someone else's mind, they will then suggest an alternate route. It also occurs between people who have seniority in LA vs people who are new. In 2007 I had a friend call me via Skype from LA... I was living on another continent, but had lived in LA a number of years, and he was asking me for suggestions on which route to take to get to the meeting he was going to. It is soooooo LA/SoCal.
