The first time you read an email that starts off with “hello friends” and continues on to talk about how “we made the tough decision to part with our valuable colleagues” you will understand what’s so grating about California nice. This kind of thing has unfortunately spread across the country, but California is the epicenter.


Yep. I’d take, “You’re fiahd get the hell outta heah.” Over the Silicon Valley version any day.


Damn, I miss the east coast.

Rude, brash, and raw. Problems are solved with heated verbal sparring — then you both get it out of your system and move on with life.

Everywhere else feels like I’m walking on eggshells or having to really restrain myself to get along.


Ehh. It’s grating in California, but I think the epicenter of it is in Minnesota or Denver, actually.
