y the way I threw my Whataburger bag out the window on Stone Oak Pkwy. Sorry

That's ok the Stone Oak yuppies need a dose of reality in the form of junk and junk food.

What I hate about San Antonio it's UGLY!!!! All yellows and browns no real deep green like I saw in Vermont.

That's not surprising. You and probably about 500,000 other people do the same thing all the time.

The normally laid back SA folks seem to morph into big city rat race types once in their vehicles.

Also the nails, screws, bolts and metal pieces that seem to be strewn over the roads. Never seen anything like that anywhere else either... folks at work have all had trouble with their tires.

This is funny... I have always felt that the San Antonio drivers are slow and nosy!! I swear if I am stuck at a dead stop in traffic again because everyone is rubbernecking the guy changing his tire I will scream. In my 5 years of living here it seems the only time anyone speeds around here is when they are driving in neighborhoods....you know past parks and school zones. Oh and I love it when someone wants to change lanes so they come to a complete stop with their turn signal on - holding up traffic FOR EVERYONE behind them. I have lived in many different cities and these are the worst drivers.

Ok, so here's the reason people "cut in front of you". They think you are actually going to politely let them come out onto the road. People tend to do that here. Also people slow down near accidents because: 1. it's the law to slow down or at least move over for first responders so they don't get run over, and 2. many people here are medical people or military and they will render aid if necessary.

ah, noo. But, thanks for playing...

San Antonio drivers do not even pull over when an ambulance, police car or firetruck is blaring down the road with their sirens on. See it all the time....they just keep going. You also have daily reports of drivers plowing over pedestrians or into police cars pulled to the side of the road. So I'm not buying this "people slow down because it's the law or they want to rendor aid" argument. People are trying to see blood and guts to satisfy their own morbid curiosity. San Antonio is monopolized by those with a "me, me, me" attitude. Don't try to sugar coat it....

"will rendor aid if necessary"....that's just funny.

I dislike how large this city is and how small-minded a lot of the general population seems to be.

San Antonio: Continually moving sideways since 1691.

Is this to be construed as a dislike of asians and latinos, and a preference for extraterrestrials? j/k lol
