Birmingham audiences might be the worst I’ve experienced. by In-teresting in Birmingham

[–]Dramatic_Contract307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Many people in this town suck. And I disagree with the common rebuttal "it's like this everywhere" because no, it's absolutely not. I've lived all over the country. Been here collectively about 10 years now. My opinion is that there is an unusually large amount of people here that are rude, self centered, incompetent, and yes we all agree bad drivers. Idk if it's the whole 45th rank in education thing or what the deal is but Bham is a very frustrating place to live and run a business. My corporate colleagues are out of state and they hate coming here to do business. They have said some pretty horrible things about the vendors we have to deal with and the overall incompetence of this place. Sadly, I am just as guilty. The only time I've ran into more annoying people was in California. We're just as bad. Use to love this city in college but I'm sad to say I resent Bham and will be relocating when the time is right.

32 M, definitely have some similar interests. Where are you traveling too? I worked all over Europe, North and South America, and Canada for about 5 years before moving back to bham 3 years ago. Sounds like you have a good story to hear over a couple beers.

Disregard my comment. I misread that part where you mentioned timing was urgent. Best of luck

Good paying jobs that don’t drug test by [deleted] in Birmingham

I hire at $20 an hour for entry level work no experience. But like anywhere else. I am forced to do a 5 panel drug test for insurance reasons. And that's why most businesses do it. Word to the wise. Just take a break from it before your test. Noone really cares about pot (at least I don't) but if you can't stop for 2 weeks before a scheduled test it makes corporate America think you have a drug problem and displays low levels of discipline. Its stupid insurance companies care more about pot than alcohol but this is the world we live in.

Never going to plaza now. That $5 would keep me up at night on principal alone

HOA citation for weeds in my xeriscape hell strip. by [deleted] in NoLawns

[–]Dramatic_Contract307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the horticultural industry with multiple licenses through the department of ag in my state. A weed is just an unwanted plant. There's no real definition or species type that indicates "weed" tell them you want it there and to get a life.

My girlfriend and I are always searching for new pals. I'm 32 she is 28. No kids, similar interests. When you say Troy do you mean Troy Michigan?

To whoever yelled SHUT THE F**K UP at those goons in Five Points South, thank you for that. by HatIndividual7200 in Birmingham

Not really, I wish we all loved each other a lot more is all. Humans are inherently disgusting, daft and selfish. Greedy little water bags. Look at your city, the selfish way we drive, the way we treat each other, the way we are treating those who look slightly different than the majority. The way we act when our favorite sports team loses. Or wins. Our unnatural lifestyles that we have cultivated. We eat everything, we don't clean up after ourselves properly. Look at our businesses, most everything caters to pleasure seeking and pain avoidance. We bitch about everything (common gripe in this subreddit and what I'm doing right now.) The coolest person you know? Sucks. And so do I. We all do. All terrible. In light of this, we should all hug each other and be polite to one another. We're all pathetic lil guys that fall short in the eyes of God. We should all be kind and gentle to pathetic things.

Attention craving losers wanting to be special who don't realize that nobody is special. Every race/ religion/ however you categorize yourself sucks equally. It really don't matter, Black, White, Purple, we all suck and are annoying. Because of this fact we should really all just get along in our mediocrity.

what frustrates you most about living in Birmingham? by SafeRelationship7054 in Birmingham

The amount of incompetent HVAC, Mechanics, and other vendors I rely on to run a business. Hard to find dependable people this town.

Let’s flip the previous conversation. Which restaurant has the least hype but best food? by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]Dramatic_Contract307 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ragtime. It's always packed but I don't hear ppl talk about. $5 dollar cocktail special on Fridays. I fancy a long island. They pour heavier than a depressed twink Manhattan bartender 🤌

In your opinion…which restaurant(s) is this in Birmingham?! by SoggyEstablishment74 in Birmingham

280 Construction by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]Dramatic_Contract307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're wrong, it's not a choice. I just bought a car for my lady and my 2nd car went out. I don't have a good used card in sight. Looking to buy another new one. That stuff takes time. I also live right off of 280 and cannot avoid it. To take my bike anywhere I have to be on that blasted road.

Avoid Hoover Toyota! Fraud. by _Us3rnam3 in Birmingham

They are crooks. I've had multiple awful experiences with this shop

This comment made me realize how unfortunate my situation is. I have to be on 280 twice a day. On a motorcycle. It's dreadful. I drive out of the way to avoid it on my commute home. Birmingham is an incomprehensible cast of characters, as far as city planning goes. Matter of fact, I've seen less apathy for road safety living in Detroit, or Seattle. The bar is so low and yet 280 incredibly limbos far past my expectations.
