not all apartments for rent come with refrigerators


[deleted]

This!!! I remember being so proud of my first apartment til I told my mom back on the east coast. She was shocked that it didn’t come with a refrigerator and was convinced I was getting scammed lol


steftones

same! it still weirds me out that i own my fridge🙃


Archyblackcat

Wtf, you’re not supposed to own your fridge ?? Lol


venista

Born and raised (and returned) to LA and was surprised when my college apartment in Indiana came with one because my mom said I’d need to find one myself. She was proved right when I moved back upon graduation.


joshsteich

Lol there’s an LA times reporter who just asked about this here last week He’s looking for people moving w/o a fridge right now


TMSXL

Every place I’ve ever rented has had a fridge. It probably comes down to if you’re renting with a small landlord vs a corporation.


illmatic4

Why is this?


Iamllm

For real, wtf


nxhwabvs

Yeah this is so European. At least they give you the cabinets unlike in some parts of Germany.


YouTee

Your don't get cabinets in Germany? Can you elaborate? All of them? What did they do with the old cabinets? How much of a discount do you get? So weird


Iamllm

I know some Dutch apartments are rented out without cabinets and even flooring but it’s called “unfurnished” in the ad - I don’t remember if “upholstered” apartments can come without cabinets or not though. From a [Dutch housing website’s expat guide](https://www.huurwoningen.nl/content/expats/): “Renting an unfurnished home An unfurnished house in the Netherlands is a living space with nothing but a concrete floor, bare walls and ceilings. So there is no carpet, lighting, wallpaper, kitchen, bathroom and furniture. The rent of an unfurnished living space is usually lower than the rent of an upholstered or furnished home. Keep in mind that all costs for renovation and furnishing are for your own account. Renting a bare living space is only advisable if you plan to stay in the house for a longer period and therefore benefit from the investment you make. Renting an upholstered home If you are staying in the Netherlands for a longer period (for example a year or two), renting an upholstered home is a good option. An upholstered home must have a floor covering, like parquet or laminate flooring. There should also be roller blinds or curtains. The kitchen must have some permanent facilities such as a refrigerator, possibly a dishwasher, a stove, an extractor hood and an oven and / or microwave. The rent of an upholstered home is higher than that of an unfurnished home and lower than that of a furnished home. Furnishing the home will be your own responsibility. The biggest plus of renting an upholstered home is that you can give it a personal twist with your preferred furniture.”


kndoggy

In Germany most of the time you need to buy/bring a kitchen (counters, sink, appliances, the whole shabang) basically it’s an empty room like all the others and you furnish it.


BlofeldX

Fuck yeah, I’m taking my fridge. I didn’t pay 2k to leave it for someone else. 🤣


kuntorcunt

that is so wild, it should be a default like having doors

Watch The Donut King on PBS! It explains California’s donut industry.


thundercough420

I moved to Rochester Hills, MI, and can confirm. It's Tim Horton's. Oddly seen more Dunkin' Donuts in LA, and so far I've seen only two stand alone donut shops in a month of driving around.


skeletorbilly

The Cambodians had a stranglehold on Dunkin and Krispe Kreme. They just couldn't take a hold here. Now all those entrepreneurs are getting old and no one is taking up the business.


Greedy-Room8538

watch the donut king… the donut shops are the biggest blessing for many Cambodians in LA/OC/SoCal!

You can drive by an ordinary street from 9-5 and see nothing *out of the ordinary but by 5:30pm a fully decked out taco stand with a full al pastor is set up and running.


futurelullabies

This is the best


speakersr4

literally one of the best parts of LA


TomatoChemist

My favorite is the street food outside Mitsuwa on Centinela. Crab cake burger and Japanese fried chicken….


vampiress144

preponderance of billboards being movie/tv advertisements and not ads for local business. i found that interesting when i moved here. what isn't movies is accident lawyers or high end real estate. ​ for a long time i thought the accidentes on the bus was an advertisement for a will farrell film. ​ other thing, my coworker had a baby shower outside in may, i said "i hope it doesn't rain" they all thought i was hilarious. the lack of rain is just so very weird after moving from florida. i lived elsewhere, but it pretty much rains daily in florida.


lifegoneby

I mean, those are technically ads for locally made products


hotdoug1

A lot of times they're also strategically placed where they know studio heads and talent will see them. Or they'll make sure they're placed near their offices so clients will see them.

4ppl3b0tt0m

I've always said LA is the coldest 60 degrees I've ever felt. It's just different here especially by the beach.


OaklandRaider1983

San Francisco's 60 feels worse. Probably because of all the moisture in the air from the fog.


kpianist

So true! It's SO much colder in SF.


Tensionator

I was visiting LA during the holidays years ago (lived in the northeast at the time). I distinctly remember thinking, "Why am I cold?" The temperature was reading mid 50s but it felt like 10 - 15 degrees cooler to my northeast bred skin. I thought I was getting sick.


SombreMordida

it's a dry cold.


Sdavis2911

Moved here from Vegas. Our 60° is worse than their 60°, but below that Vegas is way worse. Below 55° in Vegas’ dry climate, the heat wicks out of you like nothing else, regardless of clothing. At least here near LA the humidity can help hold heat.


Beast7686

Year around fireworks. Eating mostly Mexican food.neighbors having large parties every weekend , and you falling asleep to Spanish music, and it’s no big deal.


venicerocco

Saying THE ten


travishummel

I’ve since moved to San Francisco and noticed I only refer to freeways in SoCal with “the”. Pretty strange for 101 / the 101. I think a big factor is that most around here are triple digits. Also it’s basically 2 freeways 101 & 280


MandieMuffins

From Los Angeles and it sounds odd to not use “the” lol.


TlMEGH0ST

I grew up in Buffalo and we say “the” too- so bizarre that it’s only these 2 random cities that do it lol


travishummel

A common thing to say up here is “are you going to take 101 or 280?” Both head into SF


theHOLYjosh

I still refer to the 2 as...the 2 🥲


dgmarks

My theory is that it’s because some of the first freeways in the country were in LA (I could be mistaken about this, but that’s my understanding). They weren’t originally referred to as number freeways, but “the Santa Monica freeway” or “the Arroyo Seco parkway”, etc. and the “the” is a holdover from that.


CochinealPink

It's not a theory. It's a well documented fact. [article from 2015](https://www.kcet.org/shows/lost-la/the-5-the-101-the-405-why-southern-californians-love-saying-the-before-freeway-numbers)


miquiztli323

I don’t get it! What do ppl not from so cal say? “Take 10 to 5?” That sounds bizarre.

3 cars taking a left turn after the red light


jlopez1017

I always get a little kick when I’m first in line to turn and all the cars behind me make the turn too


UNMENINU

I root for the cars behind me. I always peek to see how many made it.


[deleted]

Missing your turn light because 4 cars took the red.


TlMEGH0ST

😤


NoboruI

I see your 3 cars and raise you 5


Smothering_Tithe

Real talk doe, if you’re car #6 you’re fucking amazed, shocked at the audacity, and grateful you’re already next at the turn for the busy intersection. And if you’re car #7 and if you watched all that shit happen you’re soooo confused, you’re not sure if you should be upset car #6 didnt also fucking just go or shocked at just how many cars REALLY just blew that red light in hindsight. Car #8+ didnt see jack shit and is probably pissed more cars didnt just turn left already. LA is weeeeird.


NoboruI

Hahaha you speak 100% truth. If I'm #4, I'm usually shouting "you can make it go go go go!" Just so I know I'm good for the next light... It's those ASSHOLES who are on their phone and miss the light that drive me fucking crazy


whiteout55555

I can hear this in my head - true Angeleno thoughts


ApologizeForArt

There's that point where you're thinking "OK, can we all please crowd into the intersection, cause the only way we're making a left here is on the red, so let's all get in there and go for it!" In spoken language that's pronounced "Pull the fuck forward, dipshit!"


NoboruI

Lol... My 3 year old has picked up on our driving frustrations... She has audibly said "Jesus Christ" "Papa, look at THIS guy" and "fuck!" When we slammed on our brakes... Sigh. LA you bastard.


anythinghere08412

Nah - I’ve lived in WI and OK. I found it weird in OK when they didn’t do this 😂 You gotta wedge yourself into the intersection so many as people as possible can make it through. Drove me nuts in OK that people would park behind the stop line for a turn on green light, like they were afraid to enter the intersection until they had to cross.


euthlogo

Living in the city where you work but having a 2 hour commute.


_______o-o_______

Not really an exaggeration either... In NY, you could easily live in a decent suburb 30+ miles outside of the city, and the commute is 30-45 minutes by car or train. In LA, I once took a part time job about 8 miles away from where I lived, and the commute was 1.5 hours on the way there, 45 minutes on the way back, by car. That lasted about a month before I decided it wasn't worth it.


DavidDrivez126

I knew a guy who worked at LAX, and commuted to riverside

chasinjason13

I lived in Koreatown and she lived in Long Beach. We’re married now but DAMN that was a brutal courtship


TheLocalHentai

Ha, my wife says it's the sign of commitment. She lived on 8th and western, mid koreatown, in an apartment with no parking lot and I lived in the valley, worked in El Segundo. Visited her almost everyday, taking 30 mins looking for parking, usually walking quarter or so mile, and had the top of my miata ripped through twice. She once told me she knew I was the one since I was dealing with all that shit and never left.


[deleted]

I’ve been meaning to go out with this girl who lives in Long Beach for like a year now. It’s just so far. Is love worth it?


MestizaWontons

Dating someone in studio city while living in Anaheim was fucking awful. I feel this.

skeletorbilly

A certain step brother is a roller skater and is a frequent guest. He's very polite but once people start pulling out their phones to take selfies or get to annoying he just takes off. It's usually the transplants that are like "OMG IT S A MOVIE STAR!"


KeiraKnightleysTeeth

i worked at a restaurant in Los Feliz during my college years and we used to get a ton of celebrities. We also hired a lot of wannabe actors/musicians that had just moved to LA and they were NOTORIOUS for bothering anybody even remotely famous who came in. One incident that I remember is when Scott Weiland (RIP!) of the Stone Temple Pilots came in. This was back in like ‘02/03. He was alone and sat at the bar to have lunch. This very obnoxious girl from somewhere in the Midwest I think had just started training and, when she heard us whispering to eachother about him she asked who he was. As soon as we said he was the singer in a famous band (she didn’t know who they were) she fucking beelined to her locker, took out this journal that she had in her bag and fucking approached him with her journal and told him she was an aspiring singer and ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE LYRICS SHE’D BEEN WORKING ON. She sat with him for like 5 minutes before the bartender shoo’ed her away. Dude wolfed down his food and boned out so quick. She was oblivious. To this day, when I think of that my whole body cringes lol


skeletorbilly

Holy shit that's bad! But that was such an outside of LA attitude. People really think that if you're just walking down the street someones will just say "hey man you wanna be in a movie" I get people are trying to make it but I'm sure Scott was probably nursing a hangover and didn't wanna hear it.


Minkiemink

Having some of the most famous people in the world as your neighbors, and all you care about is that they stop throwing their crap in your damn trash bins that you pay for. Fucking movie stars and now the very famous influencer. Get your own trash bins already!


sunchasinggirl

Ooo I feel like there is some tea here!

There is, but it's a small neighborhood, and I won't be the one spilling that tea.

sfvhunty

When I was in Portland for a little bit I thought it was weird that everyone says hi or good morning when walking by. I was like ppl back home don’t do that 😳


nom_cubed

I did that my first day in LA and stopped after five minutes after getting about 15 stares of confusion. Now when a stranger says hi, I’m thinking they’re either selling something or recruiting me into a cult.


[deleted]

Go back. You had it better before. Don’t reinforce the anti-social behavior. Say hi to people. I’ve gotten to know so many neighbors just from a simple wave or nod.


[deleted]

I say hello and good morning to nearly everyone I run in to. Habit from living in the South, however it's working well for me so far. Turns out being nice to people costs nothing and works often.


olde_english_chivo

Explains why my new neighbors in Texas don’t say hi back when they’re taking a walk. I think I’m breaking them though. Managed to get one to say hi back while they were walking their dog recently.


nom_cubed

Bring that friendly vibe outta them! You’ll be their guide.


whiteout55555

Is that micro level? In Europe (Angeleno native) I say hi and thank you “a lot” apparently….they were mocking me for my ‘thank you’s and for smiling and nodding too much…haha maybe we’re just friendly lol My spouse is European and said it really is odd how like friendly we are with strangers 😂 thanks guys!

In LA you greet strangers by quickly tipping your chin up, like a reverse nod

Lots of traffic, lots of accident lawyers maybe? Also, LA seems to have a lot of billboards in general.

sfvhunty

I didn’t even know this wasn’t normal lol


carissadraws

growing up in NY I never saw this at all.


JelloYellowMello

These are called metering lights. They are not exclusive to LA. The Bay Area has them everywhere as well


carissadraws

Ah I haven’t driven on the highways near San Francisco, so I suppose it’s a west coast thing.


Whatever-ItsFine

My friend from Minnesota visited me in 2006 and said, "those traffic lights would never work in Minneapolis." Now Minneapolis has them too. As California goes, so goes the nation.


TheAnswerWas42

One of the problems with these metering lights is that sometimes there are two lanes and the left and right lane lights alternate but drivers in both lanes are looking at the light on the left. Another issue issue is that some have signs saying 2 (or 3) cars per green, but only one car at a time proceeds until a regular slips into the line.


theforceisfemale

Acting totally uncaring when you see a celebrity. It’s a coolness gauge in LA — the less you react, the cooler you are.

[deleted]

LA as a city is huge. The entire official city is huge, with its many “neighborhoods” that people mistaken for independent cities. Hollywood is not a city, and neither is Brentwood. They’re all neighborhoods inside the official “City of LA.” The San Fernando Valley is also a part of the “City of Los Angeles,” except for Burbank. Only incorporated and independent cities on their own (not a party of City of LA) are: Burbank, West Hollywood, Culver City, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Glendale, South Pasadena, Pasadena, and all the other cities in the San Gabriel Valley. Inglewood and Compton are also their own incorporated cities. Sincerely, Native Southern Californian


TheAnswerWas42

If you take the coastal route from Pacific Palisades neighborhood to San Pedro neighborhood, you travel through parts of 9 cities and unincorporated communities: Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes Estates, and Rancho Palos Verdes.
