I Hate Seattle

I don't know if this has been posted on here, but I thought it was funny and very very true.

Print and cut out this card, which has the 10 most likely responses you'll get from Seattleites if you bring up any negatives about their city. Wait for the discussion to end, hand them this card, and tell them to have a nice day. Better yet, if you're a betting person, bet them that you already know their responses and then hand this to them to collect your prize.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. That happens EVERYWHERE (response to a negative observation about Seattle)
2. Statistically, Seattle is top in ____
3. Oh, yeah? I visited [city name here] and it was a terrible place; I'd never go back, good luck to you.
4. Well, you're not from here, so you don't know.
5. Maybe if you changed your attitude the natives would like you. Sounds like you don't spend enough time outside. This is all your fault.
6. It's not us, it's the rude transplants who are giving you a hard time.
7. You must not be very well educated if you're criticizing Seattle. By the way, that was improper use of that word you just said, FYI.
8. If you don't like it, go home (this one cracks me up whenever said/posted in response to a person's gripe is that people in Seattle aren't very welcoming).
9. Oh, sure, it rains here, but it's so mild most of the year, you don't notice -- it's really warm and sunny in the summer, in fact, it can get downright balmy. Did you know that Seattle actually gets fewer inches of rain that New York, Miami, etc..?
10. Traffic, well, yeah, traffic could be better, but it still only takes me 10 minutes to get from Pike Place to Bellevue.

What did I tell you? Pretty true, huh?

Anyways, I thought I should share this since someone else mentioned the whole "rude bicyclist" thing. It's the kind of shit that could only happen in Seattle.

So one day, I'm going to classes at UW and I'm about to cross a street. The light turns green and I start crossing. Suddenly this biker comes out of nowhere and damn nearly runs me over. I yell "watch where you're going asshole." This guy comes back and decides to start an argument with me. He starts lecturing me about traffic laws or something like that, all the while swearing like a sailor. I tell the guy to fuck off and give him the finger. He says he's sorry I feel that way and rides off. I start walking to class again. A couple minutes later, this douchebag rides past me and punches me in the back of the head, then rides off as fast as he can. I yelled at him to get back here if he wanted a fight, but he just kept going. And there was no way I could run faster than his bike to catch up to him.

I called the cops, but they couldn't find him. Typical rude Seattle biker.
