What are things you hate about Chicago?

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Or wherever you live? You know, stupid stereotypes that surround the place you live.

For instance, it drives me up a fucking wall when people put 'Daaaa' in front of something. Daaa Bears, Daaaa Mayor. Daaaa overrated SNL skit.

I am a broken record.... but Chicago roads.... in the city.... in the suburbs of the city.... the tollways and expressways around the city.... always under construction.... always needing to be patched.... and when long ass repaving projects complete they last for a good 6 minutes before they start deteriorating.... out in Orland Park we had huge potholes on some streets after the Winter and they were left for a month or so and then simply filled in with gravel....

I don't know that I have ever seen a road project no matter how small in or near Chicago take less than a year.

Not to mention the whole hit a worker $10,000 fine and 14 years in prison. While there should be some punishment, that is taking it to the extreme.

 

[Nail Polish]

The current Mayor and all his cronies..(I swear..I could grab that little prick and squeeze his neck till he does a chicken flop)

Bad streets

The South Side.

I'm waiting for a massive tornado to take out everything south of 22nd street.
