Default Low Class people and attributes.

I know there are low class entitled to everything people everywhere, but I've never seen such low class behavior as I have seen since I moved to California.

Some examples,

One wal mart close to where I lived in the past. People would go and steal your shopping cart. YOu'd leave it for a second and they'd take everything out of it and put it on the floor and take the cart away.

One cheap foods store, people who could walk would still use the electric wheelchair type of carts, they'd put all this food on the counter and of course beer and ciggies first. When the amount reached a certaing dollar amount they'd be done and tell the person they didn't want anything else.

I don't know how these habits started or what prepetuates it.

anyone else have examples?

Oh another one, I was walking out of best buy to my car and some guy said something to me. I looked at the guy who looked homeless and he repeated to me, "don't eyeball me boy." I'm not sure how I'd been eyeballing this trash as I hadn't even seen him before he talked to me the first time.

I used to live in Mississippi. I guess because there are so many people in So Cal, you see more of it. I think I saw more low class behavoir here than back in Missisloppy. I think there is more segregation of people of different wealth status in Mississippi than here.


Oh yeah, another one.

WHen trick or treating these people who bring their 5 kids plus lug around an infant and ask for candy for the infant too.

I have also moved to California recently, and I completely agree with you. Some of the people here are just downright trash. I hate that no one speaks english anywhere. At our Wal-mart in Fresno, there are always 800LB people clogging the aisles. And my favorite is that even though there are lines that extend back to the clothing section, the 30 employees working will never open more than 4 of the 20 or so lanes. So when I go in to buy tire black or motor oil, I have to wait 45 minutes to check out while the illiterate, trailer park family and their 9 kids unload three grocery carts of crap.

I'm not sure that you'll ever meet a larger contingent of concentrated assholes if you've been to Philadelphia. I could crash the server with stories. However, like most other people who live here, I've adopted the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em". E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES.

When I saw the thread title, I thought for sure that Scot had posted it.

That's nothing. I went to an Eagles/Giants game two years ago where two fist fights were going on simultaneously in the same section. At the Eagles/Dallas game last year some obnoxious Cowboys fan walked by talking shit while we were tailgating so my gf threw a loaded hot dog at him.

A beer shower is like a walk in the park. You got off easy.

It is bad enough these days with people approach me in the parking lots asking for gas money. I am NOT kidding.

Oh yeah, there were about 8 fights with cops pulling people away and many people joining in during the course of the game.
