In LA Homeless people everywhere, capturing streets, shitting here and there throwing poops on people. Stealing food aand money, forcefully trying to statch your stuffs.
@@Blitzkers99 in 3rd world countries ,ghetto people actually have jobs and contribute to society despite living in similar conditions as homeless of LA.
That is VERY accurate. Well, at least the L.A part. Those few times I was in New York, I actually found the people BOTH politely nice AND legitimately helpful.
No that’s the culture of those who get things done, East coast is the home of the immigrants!! They talk to you the way they grew up! Everything started on the East and on the West they are just entitled fakers!! It’s a lot worse to pass somebody by when they need help instead of being helped but with tough love! My immigrant grandparents embody exactly that kind of mind set and they are amazing!
I've lived in the west coast my entire life and I always tell my mom " I'm gonna do it but I should at least be able to complain about it!!" I think I'm in the wrong coast😆
As a guy from Jersey, I can attest. I was 19, on the side of the road with a flat tire and had an old white dude pull over and say “i’ve never seen a mexican struggle so hard change a tire my f-ing life. (I’m Peruvian🤣) and I responded, “get your saggy balls over here, pops and help out”. We both laughed and he proceeded to help me get my spare tire on.
Plenty of fake people in the East It speaks to the prejudice of the East That someone would make a joke like this and be understood! By no means Are all my friends from the East prejudice Or fake But they will speak of it candidly it's no secret
@@thegrapeescape87 if you don't curse nobody trusts you. "Apryl B, yeah. They cool ppl, but they don't cuss. They're f*ckin Amish or some sh*t. Idk. I don't trust em"
In Eastern Europe they are nice and kind, will help you fix your flat tire and give you some fresh bread. After they leave you realise your car is gone.
NY here, today I came across a French family that was looking for a way to get to the statue of liberty, I heard them asking someone for directions and he didn't know so I did what every NY does, stepped into their conversation without introducing myself, gave them the exact directions without even giving eye contact then walked away before they could say thank you.
Jersey girl here🙋🏾♀️ …it’s worse if you’re also from a Caribbean family. You’ll be insulted for not knowing how to change your tire, THEN insulted your car choices, financial literacy, then shopping habits…..which all led up to this moment of having a flat tire. All while changing your tire….. “thanks dad🙄”
In the South, people will make small talk with you forever before they get down to business. In the Northeast, they'll do the business first and then, if they have time, they'll make some small talk.
What made me laugh is when I went to New York I asked a guy how to get to the subway and he said, "F*cking tourists everywhere. You don't have a phone? Stop the one guy who has a place to be" and then proceeded to walk me less than a yard from the subway and said, "This is as far as I can go." Like he didn't just walk me all the way there 😂 San Diego, even the barista at a coffee shop was shady af
FREE lessons. With a threat of how they better not find in that situation again, yet if they do..you're getting charged in some way. Food. Money. Doesn't matter
As someone originally from Minnesota but who has lived in San Francisco for many years, my experience has been that strangers are, on the whole, very friendly in Calfornia, but it’s sort of skin deep. It’s much harder here to make real friends. Of course this is a generalization, nothing is 100%. I have experienced-repeatedly-in New York City, strangers going out their way to help me in one way or another. Perhaps quickly and even brusquely, but still helped, unasked. One time a woman-and at night, too-saw me struggling with a very heavy piece of luggage on a street in Brooklyn. She insisted on helping me to carry it for two blocks. I was astounded. That would be much, much less likely to happen in SF. Of course I also have had dramatic encounters with criminals and lunatics in NYC, but both NYC and SF are cities of extremes.
I live on the East Coast and have family on the West Coast. I can confirm. Over there, it's like feeling the vibes they send you. Over it's like get f out the way, I'll do it for ya. There's like so much of a rush that you don't even know wtf just happened, but somehow, you're better off in your current predicament. 😂
As a NYer, this is dead on accurate. I’ve encountered situations such as an old man crossing the street slowly during rush hour. I legit thought, “look at this old bastard taking his time, better hold up traffic so he can get to the other side safe”.
As a Bostonian I have done this exact thing. I was driving home from work in my truck full of tools and I see some jack ass in a Mercedes on the side of I 93 causing a massive traffic jam. I stop to help the guy. Winds up being my friend Peter, his wife and his young son. He has no jack or tire iron in his car. So I asked him wtf is wrong with u, called him a tard, changed his tire and sent him on his way
Moved from Cali to PA 10 years ago. This is too true lmao. I've had semi truckers stop to change my tire before I could get out the car but grunt when I said thanks on the east coast. In Cali I remember one time my grandma needing help with the groceries when I was young and no one helped her until she dropped something and they came to only pick up what she dropped .
This is true. My nephew's car broke down in Chattanooga on the way to Texas when he was changing bases. His alternator went out and he was trying to change it on the side of the road. Two good old boys pulled over to help him and it turns out between the two of them they had over sixty years of mechanic experience. Probably more experience than any local shop he could have went to.
Although technically eastern, you're still in southern territory there so you'll get that kinda service. Wouldn't be super surprised if food or alcohol came into the equation lol
Yes bit her in the West, most of our flat tires happen in the middle of nowhere. You and the possible few around you are hours away from anything. You have it changed before someone arrives
I'm from Tennessee and I swear there is always some good Ole boy, in a pickup, driving around just looking to fix tires and pull people out of ditches. Never fails, just wait about 30 minutes or so, they'll be there. 💯
Then you got the South out in my truck I got what it takes to jump a vehicle, get in your locked door if you lock your keys, jack and stands along with a tow strap just in case someone needs help🤷♂️ down here help could be an hr away atleast
NYC (Brooklyn) born and raised, and this is accurate. We arent friendly but folks will definitely help you out... as long as you aren't asking for money 🤣
Followed by a, “relax I’m just bustin’ ya balls!” Lol it’s a NY/NJ art form and the better you are at it the more respect you have within your circle of friends. Can always spot a fellow NYer anywhere on Earth by how bad they bust balls!
I live in the eastern US and I always took our way of talking when offering help as a way to downplay our kind actions so the recipient doesn't feel like a charity case or something. We help others because it's the right thing to do and it feels good. Not to feel high and mighty or to get a pat on the back. That's the way I've always taken it at least.
This is so fucking true. First time I went to NY, I took the train from the airport going to stay at West End Ave around 82nd / 86th street. Conductor didn't announce that the train stops around that area and the door's about to close... there's this angry looking black woman whom you didn't wanna mess with and I was with my friend and we were like oh no we missed it, she asked us where were going and said 82/86 and she's like this train dont stop there and opened the doors, stopped the train and scolded the conductor for not announcing. And she helped us which train to take and we were so grateful and everyone else helped us with our luggage and she was like FUCK THIS SHIT FUCKING CONDUCTOR DIDNT ANNOUNCE AND YALL ARE ABOUT TO OVERSHOOT YER FUCKING STOP. We was so scared and was so grateful all we ever said was Thanks so much and bowed. I love NY and I love New Yorkers.
As someone from Pennsylvania I can tell you this is true. I will help you change your tire but I definitely won't be happy about it. I won't leave you to suffer though.
And in the South, by the time ol boy got your tire fixed, you'd have 3 sets of directions, 2 new fishin spots to check out, and an open invite to dinner.
Whoa now..verbal ABUSE?? not spouting platitudes or verbally coddling adults or stating the obvious is a far cry from verbal abuse. Thought I can see how that type of mindset would take being asked how they got their flat or that they should watch to learn for next time as "being insulted the whole time". Would you really rather someone stop to tell you that your situation sucks just to walk away from it? (That's what I meant by stating the obvious)
I feel like she described Californians vs New Yorkers 😂😂 “Yeah that sucks good luck friend” Vs “How did you not see that big ass pot hole? Move let me do it”
Especially if you are blocking a lane on the West Side Highway. Move over so I can fix this shit and get you out of my way, FFS. And during rush hour you had to pull this shit? The fuck is the matter with you? Swear to God...
Idk if it's just me but alot of Washington's have a stand-offish vibe most of the time like if you try to talk to a stranger about something in a store in the awkward silence most people here just look at you or ignore you like wtf is that a stranger talking to me or even if it's something that happened on the street with your nabor some people are like haha don't talk to me I'm not here 😁
Honestly, a lot of this can be explained by car culture. People in California drive everywhere, you don't really interact with anyone. You are cut off from the world. So there's really no sense of community, especially for the transplants. It's just a bunch of isolated apartments where people walk to their car, drive to where they need to go, and drive back to their apartment. If anything, you see other people as an annoyance because they mean more traffic.
You can learn by watching. You're not learning shit if you're alone and don't know what the fuck you're doing. I sure hope you're never caught out of your depth in a dead zone. Helping people in need is the right thing to do. Expectation is a you problem.
In the South the stranger helps you change your tire, they're nice to you, then you get invited over for supper after you have an hour long conversation on the side of the road about the local town gossip.
Just what I was gonna say: In the South, the people are BOTH kind to you AND nice. they say polite things ("Aw... that's a bit of bad luck on that tire.") WHILE they are changing said tire for you. :-)
😂😂 I be so mad and angry be helping someone in NYC huffing and puffing but still taking the time out to make sure someone is good if they need assistance. Even when I’m training I’m patient and yelling at the person even might add a hint of slight shade and still stop everything I’m doing and offer positive encouragement at the same time. 😂😂
This is absolute facts. True story. On South Dakota Ave in DC, I see fly past me in his truck. By the time I get to the next light, I seen dude crash into a tree on the side of the road. Car has thick black smoke and a small fire coming from the engine. Car is about to burst in flames any minute. These 2 guys get out their car and another guy who was sitting on him porch nearby go over to him and do some jaws of life shit and get his bent driver side door open and carry him around the block and sit with him until the ambulance arrives. He obviously very concussed. But as soon as they realize he’s aight, the proceeds to cook/roast and curse this guy until the ambulance arrives lol. “Wtf is wrong wit u slim?” It was one of the most almost tragic then funniest things I’ve ever seen lol.
I grew up on the east coast but took that asshole-negative energy with me to the mountains. People complain that the way I talk to them makes them feel stupid and I'm like good.That's the intended goal. I'll help you with whatever you need but I'm going to make you feel like an idiot the entire time so you dont fuck up again
I live in NJ and this is totally true. I was at the beach this summer and 2 teenagers could not figure out how to put up their beach umbrella and some dad comes up to them yelling “Jesus Christ I’m getting tired of watching you two struggle give me this shit” and gave them an aggressive but helpful tutorial on how to do the umbrella. And that is a totally normal interaction no one was fazed lol. We may come across as rough and gruff but it’s always honest and well intended.
You aint lying girly. I'm from Jersey too and people always gotta break balls before helping out. I do it all the time especially if I'm helping a friend.
Originally from the East Coast, but grew up in the lower Midwest. What I've noticed is that whether or not someone will help you often has more to do with their socioeconomic class than it does location. In my experience, some of the best helpers tend to drive old beaters and rusted out pickup trucks. When you're stuck on a lonely highway at 3am, old Jim Bob will wake up his buddy at the junk yard to help find you a working alternator to get you home. His buddy will even help install it without charge. Those of us who have experienced strife have more practical empathy for those in need. We express solidarity through action.
People can be extremely kind! Just look at the aftermath of the San Francisco fire, where you had spontaneous free soup kitchens set up throughout the city by citizens without any direction.
actually crazy how accurate this is from my experience. I live in LA but I was in Boston just a few months ago for the first time and it's actually crazy how many different unique experiences i was able to have there with people who would just absolutely rail on me for existing near them. and it was the best time of my life! LA is so superficial people genuinely dont give a fuck about others.
Just wave back. If you don't its suspicious. In the South, we generally wave to everyone. The further you get into the rural areas the more waving there is. At some point, when you get deep enough into redneck territory we even wave to oncoming traffic. I have no idea who they are, but we wave to each other. If 2 redneck dudes meet in oncoming traffic they usually throw up the 1 finger wave. Jeep drivers are weird and either wave with 2 fingers or their whole hand. If you drive a lifted truck you generally wave to other trucks like yours. We don't wave to Prius drivers though.
And a southerner would not only stop and help you change your tire they'd ask if you need prayer and offer to take you home for dinner! Go southern hospitality!!
You'll wake up the next morning in their guest room with a belly full of greens and cornbread and engaged to their daughter with their uncle officiating the wedding in a cowboy hat.
@@MattsCrazyArt I'm not sure if that's a compliment or a insult, but here's what I'll say either way, the fella got here realized how much he loved how genuine the people were and he fell in love with the beautiful conservative country girl that treated him with respect and he didn't want to go back to the liberal women who say they don't need a man, so Matt if your single and can't find a sweet wife that will treat you the way a man should be treated just come to the south you just might find you like it as well... God .counrty . Family
I’m from Boston, and that is spot on! We’re not saying it to be mean either, just to make a little fun of you so you laugh at the predicament you got yourself in.
"You fk8n idiot! You don't know how to change a tire? Here, pay attention I'm only gonna do this once" _proceeds to change your tire and gives you his tire iron and a free spare tire_
But it's still awesome. ❤️ Actually better. Chicago here. I like the honesty with the help. Plus, if you're comfortable enough to call me out. I call you friend. 😁 That's what friends do. No BS. Truth is best
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve jumpstarted cars, changed tires, pulled people out of ditches while laughing and joking around with them the whole time… Oklahoma / Missouri
This is very true, NYC kindness is seeing a mom struggling to carry a stroller up the subway stairs, helping to pick it up, and then walking away without another word.
@Cloe M AS someone who was a mechanic back when women were first breaking it the business in the early 80s... Yeah that was me! YOU got it bad if you were a guy and you couldn't change your entire. BUT you got it worse if you're a woman and you were told to go home and yell at your parents for leaving you out there to be taken advantage of. YOU I told him to remind them that good thing I'D showed up instead of some guy pretending to be nice he was going to end up raping you instead and leaving you dead somewhere. THAT THIS IS a basic life skill people need so you don't end up tossed in the river or buried in the woods here or found a week later dead in your car on the side of the parkway after it's been stripped somewhere yk? The absolute basics are how to test your oil, transmission fluid, change your wipers, check your car TIRES for wear AND check your tire pressure, and change a tire! So that way you have at least a little bit of a working idea when all these little happy lights go on what they MAY mean. 😉❤️😎 #FormerNYStateInspector #HeavyDutyBrakeRepair18WheelersCertifiedByEuclid
Yoooo. This is mad accurate. Reminds me of the line in house...."would you prefer a doctor that ignores you while you get better or holds your hand while you die?"
Northeast coast folk are exactly like that. Dunno about the rest of the east coast, but I’m from New York, and I do attest to people being icy and gruff, all hustle and bustle, but lord almighty, they really are warm and strong on the inside, as well as kind. I think I might be biased, but based on my experiences (Had a new kid from the West Coast), I’d say it’s true. Also the kinda mean, snarky “man, you really screwed up/what the heck is up with you” is almost never fully genuine unless you *really* pissed someone off. Don’t ever go there.
This is so true … when I first moved to nyc I took the train and had like 3 suitcases, it was pretty late at night and there were some stairs; a guy helped me carry a couple suitcases up the stairs (I didn’t ask him to do it)but he kinda looked bothered to do it It’s like people are stressed out with the city life, but they can relate to everyday struggles and they are very empathetic.
As a New Yorker 😂 I know Dude definitely sensed that you were new to the city and it was late at night on the subway… The attitude was our way of showing kindness 😂
I'm a native New Yorker who moved to the SF bay area suburbs when I was in my late 30's. What would creep me out about Californians is how, unprompted, they would start sharing the most intimate details of their lives while standing in a checkout line. Then the next day if you saw them they would act like you had never met. Creepy AF.
OMFG. I'm from Baltimore and now live in Seattle. Still haven't found 1 friend in 2 years. They are soooo...I don't even know the word for it, but, I'm with you. If Baltimore wasn't so fucking raggedy, I would move back. I miss being around real, genuine ppl.
I feel like because the West Coast is full of so many characters and personas while on the East Coast everybody pretty much dealing with the same shit lmao
This is a great intro video to your channel. Try the Midwest where people aren't nice or kind but instead have mental issues the size of Cambodia. But as soon as you bond with them and expose their daddy issues they are as helpful as dogs.
I was working in West Los Angeles. A woman's car stalled in the middle of the road. The only people who pushed her car were Mexican construction workers.
mom in hospital only the minorities were nice to her, Spanish etc whites were nasty.. the minorities were beyond compasionate.. they humbled me.. thank you
As a native New Yorker I have to say this. If you're in Manhattan visiting and you are lost a local will drag you by the arm and get you where you need to be. We don't have time to explain the directions to you. We are not rude we are in a rush!
I wouldn't think that so much rude as efficient and maybe not a people person 🤣🤣💀 and I'm southern. But tbf southerners tell the worst directions ever.
Midwest: Ope, you got a flat! Let me squeeze right past ya and get you back on the road! *cue small talk the entire time until you know his niece’s birthday*
