We're bad drivers/can't drive in rain.

We're always in a hurry.

California: the land of "fruits & nuts" and they are not talking about our orange & pistachio groves

Mostly the people are a little "off" and a little "weird" and are pretty flaky and unreliable.

One stereotype is that California forums have no redundant threads:

http://www.city-data.com/forum/calif...ereotypes.html

and (a different thread, same title)

http://www.city-data.com/forum/calif...ereotypes.html

They think you're the reason why the house prices and everything else are so damn expensive in their hometowns (everything wrong with Phoenix is either the Californians' or illegal immigrants' fault...sometimes both)

I've heard we're described as a bowl of cereal; nuts, fruits and flakes...

Do the other states know that most Californian's are raised by parents that moved here? So, if I'm scary, it's Arkansas's fault because that's where my parents were born....:>)

Yeah, we heard this in Texas too. If we're ruining everyone's states, then for pete's sake, why sell to us? Because they are just as greedy as everybody else and our money's as good as anybody elses, that's why.
