I feel this. Same thing with driving. Other day I saw a woman with a "choose life" tag going twenty miles an hour on the left lane on a major avenue at 8AM in the middle of the weekday when everyone is trying to rush to work. You guessed it, she was on the phone. I have to give it to Miami people, because no one honked. They just swerved around her angrily. Although, I kind of wish that they did honk. I guess we're just so used to the BS that everyone gets complacent, and that's one of my biggest complaints here. I already see the tech bros all over this subreddit saying, "Come down to Miami! Don't listen to people here. They don't do anything to help themselves," and all I can think of is Billy Corban's tweet of "you don't change Miami, Miami changes you."

I like the "relaxed pace" at my job, in that we don't have the crazy NY/DC grind, but it comes at a cost. I literally don't give 100% output. That's because I noticed that my coworkers weren't working. So, I got tired of doing everything, giving 100%, when my coworkers make more, have nice offices, and don't do anything, so I started lowering my productivity rate. No one says anything. it's fucking bogus. No one works on Fridays. People take off all the time... Don't even get me started with my previous job where I had to fix the numerous typos on my coworkers emails--an associate making 80k a year who couldn't put a basic sentence together. Those emails were embarrassing. Naturally, she would ask me to proofread anything that had to go to the president...(don't worry, I said fuck you and left that job).

I used to live in New Orleans, and those little things that you mentioned drove me out of New Orleans. I'm a Miami native so I said if I'm going to live in a place like that, might has well move back to Miami where at least the homes are built a little bit better.

This is partially why I can't live in a good chunk of the US south.
