There is a certain attitude here with everything you do where the person providing the service is acting like they are doing you a favor.

This is a big reason I left after school - the day to day mundane parts of life in Louisiana are a miserable slog to get through:

- DMV fricked up my car title, gotta go fight with Shaniqua who tells me to go the Express DMV but they’re closed randomly on a Tuesday

- get the car serviced, but Mike Boudreaux the retard mechanic inexplicably forgot to tell me it was done and had been parked offsite, so I sat at the dealership for 3 unnecessary hours

- go grocery shopping, the self checkouts don’t work, so now I get the pleasure of dealing with Astrid the gender fluid cashier who acts like I have inconvenienced his/her entire existence by purchasing bread and bologna. Passive aggressive exchange of money for goods and services takes 15 minutes longer than needed

- sit in Baton Rouge traffic, rattle my way home over 17 potholes

- finally 5 PM and lo and behold, Entergy had another power outage and can’t reliably tell us when it will be restored

Maybe some people are more resilient or DGAF, but once you live that day on repeat for 5,10,15 years, it eventually wears you down. Once you move to a place where the simple things just FUNCTION, you realize how fricked up Louisiana is - no amount of crawfish or LSU championships or Mardi Gras parades offsets this for me.

Great place to visit, terrible place to actually live.
