There seems to be this toxic attitude permeating the minds of Seattle Drivers. I hear people say, with a little smile like they are talking about how cute their toddler is who cut their own hair, that Seattle has some of the worst rubber-neckers in the nation. Really? Really Seattle? THIS is what we want to be known for?
The rain thing, I get. Although seriously, implanted Seattlites, ya knew it was like this when you moved here. Also you exaggerate. Alabama gets more rain. Also Miami. And you never say to people you meet from Miami, "gosh, how can you stand living there! I would be so depressed!" And YET, Miami is in the top 10 and Seattle is not in the top 24. Olympia is the first city in the Northwest to even make the list. So, seriously, ask me about something else. Ask me about the coffee shops, which really are everywhere. Ask me about the fact that we have the Sound and rivers and lakes and mountains and hills and really close to us at all times here. Whine to me about the weather, and, I'm just warning you right now, you may find that umbrella you're holding jammed up your nose. I would use my own umbrella but I"m not sure where it is right now.
Any other stereotypes I can express my rage at/debunk?
