10. Taco Bell qualifies as ethnic food. Chile’s counts as gourmet dining.

9. Drivers who think the bicycle lane is a right turn lane.

8. Supermarkets that charge you 30% more because you don’t have some silly plastic card.

7. Paranoid residents who lock themselves up in gated communities in case brown people drive by (except for the ones who cut the grass, of course.)

6. No laundromats. If you aren’t rich enough to buy your own washer and dryer, go live somewhere else.

5. No parking signs everywhere, but you have to have a car to go anywhere.

4. Homeowners associations that refuse to tell you what the rules are but will ticket you for violating them.

3. Walk signals that last approximately 0.4 seconds before they start blinking red.

2. Farmers’ markets where frozen Alaskan fish and Mexican vegetables count as local food.

And the number one thing I hate about Irvine:
