          Definitely part of it, never met a Texan man who didn’t rage and throw a shitfit over the most minor of inconveniences.

            I used to do regular driving trips to Mexico from NC and I swear to god I was always fine in every state, people were nice, no police problems. But when you cross into Texas suddenly everything turns to shit. The people were shitty, the roads were shitty, the radio stations were shitty, the police were shitty, the heat, the smell, EVERYTHING was just a bit shittier there than anywhere else I’ve been. It was always a blessing to get across the Rio Grande and back into a civilized country.

              You drove through one big city and it sucked. LA and Chicago would have sucked to drive through as well.

              New York is better now I hear since they implemented congestion pricing.

              Correct me if I’m wrong, Huston is the biggest city I have ever been to.

                Cities aren’t a problem if you can avoid driving into them. But Houston literally had no bypass because they were being worked on. You were detoured through a maze of city streets. So if a detour sign was missing or fallen over (and they often were) then you were lost. This was before GPS and smartphones were common.

                It was like that for years.
