I currently live just outside of Tokyo, Japan, and my biggest (and only) gripe about it is the cost of living. In San Diego, it was also the COL and some of the people there, plus the traffic, sprawl, lack of parking due to the public transit being nothing like Japan's. In Atlanta, it was the weather, traffic, and crime rate.
I actually have no problem with where I live outside of Winter/cold (which isn't even that bad), but after growing up here, I'd like to live in a different part of the country.
I voted for weather. My biggest gripe is the oppressive heat of Dallas' lengthy summers. But even *I'm* sick of hearing myself complain about it. 'Cause 90% of my friends and neighbors, whether natives or not, think hot weather is ideal and they're so very quick to remind me that I'd be equally miserable if I lived in MN or some other extreme winter state. Clearly I'm the odd one out. But walking around from May to October slathered in SPF 2000, hiding under a wide brimmed hat, sweating like a stuck pig is just not a great look for me.
I dont understand why people have to yell and scream on the street. Fine, if you're being attacked, screech for all you're worth. Otherwise, shut your damn cake-hole and try, just try to act like a decent human, not a deranged air-head with a broken nail!
Ever heard of an 'inside voice'?? Newsflash..it works outside too!

Reason: Typing like one of the above-mentioned air-heads! :-)
