Floridian here and you basically described it to a tee. Why are there so many entitled assholes here? I can’t leave my house for 5 minutes without encountering some of the worst people society has to offer.

The heat and humidity are ultimately what’s driving us away. When summer hits, we basically don’t go outdoors at all because it’s 1000% fucking miserable.

I actually looked this up a little while back while talking to a friend about how impatient drivers are here. There are studies that show this to be the case.

it’s true, when it’s unbearably hot and i have no option for reprieve, my patience for people drops to basically nothing

that said, i go out of my way to avoid human contact, rather than act an asshole to everyone in sight

Plus it makes your brain perform more poorly. This all tracks with Florida.
