Comment: I've live in the Portland area my entire life (save the last three years, went south a few hours) and have always found the people to be insufferable. They're rude, entitled, and extremely judgemental about anything that doesn't fit their many "weird" or countercultural lifestyles. I also despise entitled pedestrians, as they don't care whether you're halfway through and intersection already or not, they're still going to walk in from of your car. 

So I for one do feel for you, despite all these assholes showing their true colors on here. If you go west of Portland, people tend to be nicer and don't smell like hemp as often. Good luck, friend!
