I know that is a strong title, and if thought about it, I guess I wouldn't hate Miami, but hell, let me vent. The most obvious thing about Miami is the lack of civility throughout most of the city. People behave as if there were no one else on the planet except for themselves. Let's start with driving. Regardless of age, people here normally drive 5-15 miles per hour under the speed limit, even on highways with posted speeds of 70 mph. I don't ask that people speed, but for God's sake at least do the speed limit, and if for some reason you are physically incapable of handling breakneck speeds of 45 mph, then get to the left lane and give some space for others to pass. It is as if they were all in a contest to see how slow they can drive without actually coming to a stop. The other day, a car loaded with "gangsta" Latinos stopped in the middle of a busy six lane road to gawk at a window front of high end cars, and that isn't the only time it has happened.
People in Miami will block access to isles, start yakking about crap as soon as they get to the counter of a busy store and allow a line to pile up behind them while they recount the last illness of cousin Berta to a bored and uncaring cashier who wants nothing more than to ignore the 80 people clamoring to pay for their merchandise and get out. Little old ladies are passing out, but no one seems to budge.
The motto here is "its all about me." More on this later.
