15 Sure-Fire Ways To Make A Southern Californian Mad
People from Southern California are a pretty easygoing and happy-go-lucky bunch. But just because we are a lighthearted and fun group of people doesn’t mean that we don’t get spun up every now and again. If you want to know what really makes us mad, here are a few ways that are guaranteed to work.

Let's get one thing clear: We may be part of the same state, but Northern California and Southern California couldn't be more opposite. Don't get me wrong, we love NorCal. We just happen to love SoCal more.

No matter what, we will always win that contest. Especially in LA where traffic is always a nightmare no matter what time of day.

Whether it's a wrapper, bottle, or leftover food containers, seeing trash on the beach will surely make us mad. We are very protective of our beautiful beaches and ocean and want to keep them nice and clean and litter free.

Just because you once heard a so-called SoCal accent in some movie from the '90s doesn't mean that we actually talk like that. Like seriously, that's so totally annoying.

No, not everyone here drives a Prius. Even though we might all wish we had one after paying $70 at the gas pump for our less fuel-efficient car.

Oh we have seasons here, we just don't have the really bad ones like the rest of the country.

Yeah, we are a bit protective about this beloved burger joint in SoCal. Don't even attempt to tell us it's not as good as everyone says as we might have a thing or two to say about that.

Some of us actually just want a big, juicy burger. And that's why you'll find us at In 'N Out.

Just because it doesn't rain here as much as other places doesn't mean we are incompetent drivers when the rain comes out. We're just not as seasoned as the rest of you who drive in inclement weather four months out of the year.

Speaking of rain, we really don't get enough of it here. And yes, we're really in a drought, so use water conservatively.

Road rage in SoCal is real, so just don't do anything to set us off when we're behind the wheel.

Yes, we get it, traffic sucks. But illegally taking advantage of the carpool lane to bypass traffic is one way to really make someone in SoCal mad.

Have you seen the price of our real estate in SoCal? Yes, everyone would like to own a home, but the price of an entry level starter home that's the size of a postage stamp is the same amount as a sprawling estate in other parts of the country.

Speaking of drought -- stop making fun of our waterfalls that don't have any water. I repeat, we are in a drought. It's heartbreaking to see our once-beautiful waterfalls barely trickling out any water, so stop making jokes because there's nothing funny about that.


Forest fires are a serious threat in SoCal. Carelessly tossing out anything that has the capacity to start a fire is potentially devastating to our land.
Do any of these things sound familiar? If you’re a Southern Californian, what makes you mad?
